"What we want, in our 80s business executive, is somebody who demands the best in everything; somebody who is never satisfied; somebody who, if he had been in charge of decorating the Sistine Chapel, would have said: `That is a good fresco, Michelangelo, but I want a better fresco, and I want it by tomorrow morning."
-- Dave Barry (quoted in DEK: Mathematical Writing)

"Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information out."
-- Boswell (Life vol.2, p.365, 18.4.1775)

"Everything should always be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
-- Albert Einstein (quoted in DEK: Mathematical Writing)

"Dokumentární film musí být umění, ne jenom interview a k tomu nějaký klip. To dělá každý a je to spíše žurnalistika. Ale pravý dokumentární film se vyjadřuje montáží. Nemělo by jít o kopii skutečnosti, ale o transformaci kusu umění, které má lidskost, duchovno, kreativitu a jde za spravedlností."
-- Vojtěch Jasný (AFO Olomouc 2003)

"Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching."
