Just as there is no substitute for original works of art, there is no substitute for the world of direct sensual experience.

Without the emotion of the beautiful, the sublime, the mysterious, there is no art, no religion, no literature.

Originality is the one thing which unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of.

There is no denying the aesthetics of a well-made, well-loved book.

Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed one from another.

I don't tend to be a nitpicker when I'm watching movies, so as long as something is true to the spirit of the original, that's very much what we got for. You try to never do something that the original author wouldn't have done themselves.

Well I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.

Respect the masterpiece. It is true reverence to man. There is no quality so great, none so much needed now.

Most people think an artist tries to be original, but originality is the last thing that develops in the artist.
