I'm one of the undeserving poor: that's what i am. think of what that means to a man. it means that he's up agen middle class morality all the time.... what is middle class morality? just an excuse for never giving me anything.

I was brought up in a very naval, military, and conservative background. my father and his friends had very typical opinions of the british middle class - lower-middle class actually - after the war. my father broke into the middle class by joining the navy. i was the first member of my family ever to go to private school or even to university. so, the armed forces had been upward mobility for him.

Although i'm not christian, i was raised christian. i'm an atheist, with a slight buddhist leaning. i've got a very strong sense of morality - it's just a different morality than the loud voices of the christian morality.... i can't tell you how many films i've turned down because there was an absence of morality. and i don't mean that from any sort of judeo-christian-muslim point of view. i'm not saying they're wrong and can't be made. but, fundamentally, i'm such a humanist that i can't bear to make films that make us feel humanity is more dark than it is light.

True eloquence makes light of eloquence, true morality makes light of morality; that is to say, the morality of the judgment, which has no rules, makes light of the morality of the intellect.... to make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher.

While the dogmatist is harmful, the sceptic is useless ...; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. what philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or of ignorance. knowledge is not so precise a concept as is commonly thought. instead of saying 'i know this', we ought to say 'i more or less know something more or less like this'. ... knowledge in practical affairs has not the certainty or the precision of arithmetic.

Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. in each of these parts, however, the philosophical idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. the single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. the whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. the idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.
