  2. Leonardo DiCaprio:

    I’ve been so blessed to work with some great filmmakers, that I’m probably cursed to probably ever work as a director myself, i don’t think I would be able to compare to what I’ve seen. There are so many things that come into play when you make a movie. I really don’t know how they do it. The truth is, the one thing I regret, if anything, in my long career having worked with the likes of Alejandro [G. Inarritu] and Marty [Scorsese] is not be able to be a voyeur and stand aside and watch what they do, because I’m only concerned about what the hell I’m doing every single day.

  3. William Shakespeare, Epitaph on his gravestone:

    Cursed be he that moves my bones.

  4. Gabonese Dorothee Adjakidjie:

    In our African culture there are taboos ... we say 'this child is cursed', we will say there is witchcraft, that this child is irrecoverable, when you live ... without knowing if you are he or she, when you have to constantly justify who you are, its not easy.

  5. Blaise Pascal:

    If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified Christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers. He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.
