Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”
Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!”

“Siz gazeteciyi, gazeteciliği yanlış anlıyorsunuz. Bugünkü modem gazetecilik her ne pahasına olursa olsun kendini okutmak hevesindedir. Bunun için de şaheserler vermek düşüncesinden çok okuyucuyu eğlendirmek, ilgilendirmek, şaşırtmak, sabahleyin veya akşamüstü gazete almazsa bir eksiklik duygusu içinde bırakmaktır. Bugünkü gazete içkiden çok cıgaraya, kahveye benzer. Tiryakiler peyda etmektir gaye.”

“It is not only my dreams, my belief is that all these dreams are yours as well. The only distinction between me and you is that I can articulate them. And that is what poetry or painting or literature or filmmaking is all about... and it is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are. We have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we would be cows in the field.”
