O` the mass of arms, the brilliant leadership, the courage and magnitude of the ancient armies of Greece, combined to conquer the city of Troy - all that, and ten years of perseverance
Hipponax the Satirist
The Indians once told me that stones are the most revered and ancient of recording devices. And that perhaps I am here on this Earth to write of these mute histories - just another stone, an `Oliver` stone.
Oliver Stone
Part of me believes in anonymous art. I got that from a writer named Jamake Highwater, who wrote about painting before the Renaissance. The way people related to art in, say, ancient Greece. How it was about the community for the community and not the sel...

If you start watching the oldies, you`re in trouble. I feel ancient if Grand Hotel (1932) or The Bride Wore Red (1937) comes on. I have a sneaking regard for _Mildred Pierce (1945)_, but the others do nothing for me.

When immortality becomes for us no longer a matter of academic discussion, but the most vital of all questions; we shall find our comfort where so many before us have found it, in the ancient words.

We have to look to the future, if it carries on like this then we will end up like the gladiators of ancient Rome -- if you lose you get torn to pieces.

We danced the Chief`s Dance and blessed our artifacts. It was so powerful for me. We danced in our modern regalia in front of these magnificent ancient cedar capes and headdresses that would have done the same dance 200 years ago. I`ve done that dance hun...

To me, there is spirit in a reed. It`s a living thing, a weed, really, and it does contain spirit of a sort. It`s really an ancient vibration.
