Kevin Alfred Strom Quotes & Sayings

The world is ruled by other people, than people believe to know. — Benjamin Disraeli

I was never too interested in high school. I mean, I never went to a dance, I never went out on a date, I never went steady. It became pretty awful for me. Except, of course, I could go see bands, and that was the kick. I used to go to Cleveland just to see any band. So I was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that I had never met.

I had, uh, bigger things in mind. — Chrissie Hynde

Let them be gone now, them and all the others, those I have used and those I have not used, give me back the pains I lent them and vanish, from my life, my memory, my terrors and shames. There, now there is no one here but me, no one wheels about me, no one comes toward me, no one has ever met anyone before my eyes, these creatures have never been, only I and this black void have ever been. — Samuel Beckett

The moment you think of a joke is the best moment. — Judd Apatow

Arrogance rides triumphantly through the gates, barely glancing at the old woman about to cut the rope and spring shut the trap. — Mason Cooley

Life has a cruel way of making us confront the things we dread. — Pragat Kasana

The reformation of the church must occur so that there is a reformation of our subculture, and then our subculture will affect the larger polis. Expecting our faith to affect the larger polis when it has not yet changed the average shelf at the local Christian book store is expecting something that is not going to happen. With the weird exception of baseball, where the ball is handled entirely by the defense, you can't score points until you have the ball. And reformers will not have the ball until they have a culture. — Douglas Wilson

One of the reasons to do documentaries is that. There's more sense of creating something, more sense of my own soul in the documentaries than in movies, because I don't write the movies I do. — Michael Apted
