7 " Make films that purify the soul with the flow of rational, vigorous and compassionate thinking. "
8 " Use filmmaking for a greater purpose, than to just entertain some drowsy minds. Wake the whole world up with your movies. It has been sleeping for long. Its eternal sleep has become its darkest nemesis. Now is the time to wake it up. "
9 " Take the clapper and become the alarm that the world so desperately needs. "

17 " Whatever you do, do it as a master, not as a slave. "
18 " It does not matter whatsoever, what the people around you think you can or cannot do. What really matters is what you think about your capabilities. "
