Early Days Quotes

“While walking down the memory lane, we may discover in the remains of our early days, surprising little details that have been eclipsed under the mantle of forgetfulness or inattention. Those loose shreds in our remembrance can highlight the importance of the fundamentals that steer our daily lives. But they may also entice us to crack the particular value that we impart to trivial matters or quirky actions. Then, we are capable of discerning the uprightness and the truth behind the appearances. ("Dirty bike")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Well, in the early days of humans, the community was our only protection against predators, and against the starvation. We survived because we trusted one another.”

“The rest of the shoot proceeded in more or less the same fashion. Terry Southern and Gail Gerber, who had flown in from New York, were aghast. Even for Terry, an avowed fan of madness, it was too much. He asked Peter, 'What would Dad-Dad think?'—meaning Henry Fonda. To Dennis, whenever he got particularly out of control, he'd say 'Jimmy wouldn't like that'—meaning James Dean. If Terry Southern is the only adult in the room, it probably means you're beyond hope. Worn down by all the chaos, Terry finally told Dennis, 'That cacophony of your verbiage is driving me insane.' He decided that being on set with Dennis wasn't for him.”
