Quoted in Stanley Kubrick at Look Magazine (2013) by Phillipe Mather, p. 46
Contexte: I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.

“The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning.”
Quoted in Halliwell's Filmgoer's and Video Viewer's Companion (1988), p. 403. Seems that this sentence first appeared in an 1968 Playboy Interview "Stanley Kubrick on Mortality, the Fear of Flying, and the Purpose of Existence: 1968 Playboy Interview" http://www.brainpickings.org/2012/07/26/stanley-kubrick-playboy-interview/
Contexte: The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed.
Quoted in Kubrick : Inside a Film Artist's Maze (2000) by Thomas Allen Nelson, p. 14
Contexte: I have always enjoyed dealing with a slightly surrealistic situation and presenting it in a realistic manner. I've always liked fairy tales and myths, magical stories. I think they are somehow closer to the sense of reality one feels today than the equally stylized "realistic" story in which a great deal of selectivity and omission has to occur in order to preserve its "realist" style.

“However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”
Interviewed by Eric Nordern, Playboy (September 1968); later published in Stanley Kubrick: Interviews (2001) http://books.google.com/books?id=iOU9bIlnPHIC&pg=PA73&lpg=PA73&dq=however+vast+darkness+supply+light&source=web&ots=WSx0cc_E1n&sig=OMT0-SOVCFtSN8a1WosgIR1PMWA
Contexte: The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death — however mutable man may be able to make them — our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
“One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. It is essential that one man make a film.”
