Famous quotes containing the words option, strike and/or price:
“You dont merely give over your creativity to making a filmyou give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option but to confront the mould on last nights washing-up.”
—Daniel Day Lewis (b. 1957)
“There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,for the root is faith,I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
—Aleister Crowley (18751947)
