Ted Chiang
“Four things do not come back: the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity”
Ted Chiang, The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate

Kim Ki-duk
“I always ask myself one question: what is human? What does it mean to be human? Maybe people will consider my new films brutal again. But this violence is just a reflection of what they really are, of what is in each one of us to certain degree.”
Kim Ki-duk
