  1. A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    ’T were a dull old world, methinks, my friend,
       If we all just went one way;
    Yet our paths will meet no doubt at the end,
       Though they lead apart today.

    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
    Poem (1879), “Advice,” st. 4, Maurine and Other Poems (1882 ed.)

  2. A quotation from Alfred Hitchcock

    Making a film means, first of all, to tell a story. That story can be an improbable one, but it should never be banal. It must be dramatic and human. What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out.

    Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) English film director
    In François Truffaut, Hitchcock: A Definitive Study [Le Cinéma Selon Hitchcock], ch. 4 (1966) [tr. Truffaut (1967)]
