“Two ideas are psychologically
deep-rooted in man: self-
protection and self-preservation.
For self-protection man has
created God, on whom he
depends for his own protection,
safety and security, just as a
child depends on its parent. For
self-preservation man has
conceived the idea of an
immortal Soul or Atman, which
will live eternally. In his
ignorance, weakness, fear, and
desire, man needs these two
things to console himself. Hence
he clings to them deeply and
fanatically.”

I love how she smiles during the absolute naughtiest of things…

There have been times when this would have been the greatest sigh ever.

The albatross, begins with his vengeance…a terrible curse, of thirst has begun…

sourire-froid:

“This shot is the most expensive shot in silent film history. It was filmed in a single take, that had to be perfect, with a real train and a ‘dummy’ engineer (notice the white arm hanging out the conductors window). Some of the locals who came to watch the filming, thought the dummy was a real person and screamed in horror; supposedly, one person even fainted.”

Real.
