“I don’t believe that responsibility in an author ever worked. I don’t believe that any author ever did any good because he was feeling a responsibility. I believe some authors instinctively feel a certain love for the human being, and they will do a lot of good, I hope. And some of the ones don’t, and that’s all.”-Jean Renoir
