The Oblique Paradox Of Propaganda Is That

We Believe That The Cinema's Capacity For Getting Around, For Observing And Selecting From Life Itself Can Be Exploited In A New And Vital Art Form

Some Of Us Learned In A School Of Philosophy Which Taught That All Was For The Common Good And Nothing For Oneself And Have Never, In Any Case, Regarded The Pursuit Of Happiness As Anything Other Than An Aberration Of The Human Spirit.

Art Is Not A Mirror But A Hammer.

Such Manifestations I Account As Representing The Creative Leadership Of The New Forces Of Thought And Appreciation Which Attend Changes In Technological Pattern And Therefore Of The Pattern Of Human Relationships In Society.

I Look On Cinema As A Pulpit, And Use It As A Propagandist.
