I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic. Eli Roth
The ode lives upon the ideal, the epic upon the grandiose, the drama upon the real. Victor Hugo
And now may the blessing of God rest upon all men. I have told unto them the Epic of Kings, and the Epic of Kings is come to a close, and the tale of their deeds is ended. Ferdowsi
My darlings, if I can’t write dark, epic music, I can’t live! Amy Lee
We don’t tend to write about disease in fiction – not just teen novels but all American novels – because it doesn’t fit in with our idea of the heroic romantic epic. There is room only for sacrifice, heroism, war, politics and family struggle. John Green
The thing about sports movies is, they can’t help but feel epic – putting music to images, etc. Lindsey Shaw
I’m inspired by the words: ‘electrifying’, ‘epic’, ‘minimalistic’, ‘transcendent’, ‘timeless’ and ‘rock n’ roll.’ Janelle Monae
As a southerner born after the epic events of the civil rights movement, I’ve always wondered how on earth people of good will could have conceivably lived with Jim Crow – with the daily degradations, the lynchings in plain sight, and, as the movement gathered force, with the fire hoses and the police dogs and the billy clubs. Jon Meacham
I love big budgeted, epic rock landscapes. That’s what turns me on. Melissa Auf der Maur
The awesome thing about ‘Fortnite’ is it’s brought a huge volume of digital commerce to Epic. Tim Sweeney
My earliest acting memory is making up a play for my mom and dad called The Lonesome Baby. I have no idea what The Lonesome Baby was about. I just remember the title. But I’m sure it was an epic. Jane Horrocks
Personally, I consider ‘Titanic’ the most brilliant example of successful counterprogramming; the film actually countered itself by embedding an epic chick flick within a classic disaster movie. Diablo Cody
Any long work in which poetry is persistent, be it epic or drama or narrative, is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them. John Drinkwater
We pay for content that we like, and we like the content we pay for. It’s a lot more satisfying to pay $7.50 for Steven Spielberg’s next epic than it is to watch my home movies for free. Even for me. Nathan Myhrvold
Sometimes you have to make a complete disaster of your life in such an epic way that it will be absolutely clear to you what you’ve been doing. David Whyte
The methods and tools of science perennially breach barriers, granting me confidence that our epic march of insight into the operations of nature will continue without end. Neil deGrasse Tyson
From the beginnings of literature, poets and writers have based their narratives on crossing borders, on wandering, on exile, on encounters beyond the familiar. The stranger is an archetype in epic poetry, in novels. The tension between alienation and assimilation has always been a basic theme. Jhumpa Lahiri
One of the things that made Epic strong when I wrote the original code was that it never occurred to me to do anything other than put the patient at the center. I developed a clinical system at a time when the health care world had pretty much only billing and lab systems available. Judith Faulkner
On the television planet, where men make up the tribe, the law of the caveman rules. So, for a woman coming from another world, without experience or cunning, to succeed gradually in gaining control over what is to be taped, what goes out over the air, what is said without censorship, is an epic feat. Cristina Saralegui
What I wish is that people would look beyond the tribbles and see I’ve written some other books that I really would like people to notice. There’s ‘The Man Who Folded Himself,’ there’s ‘The Martian Child,’ which is about my son and the adoption. There’s ‘The War Against The Chtorr,’ which is my magnum opus, my great epic story. David Gerrold
An epic is not made by piecing together a set of heroic lays, adjusting their discrepancies and making them into a continuous narrative. Lascelles Abercrombie
From its inception by Michael Bennett, ‘Dreamgirls’ has always been an epic story with an ensemble cast. I didn’t change that. The screen version remains, really, a group story. Bill Condon
History is nothing if not an epic tale of missed opportunities. Graydon Carter
You no longer have much in the way of knowing what to do in a big, epic novel about the future, because nobody knows what the hell is going to happen. Jerry Pournelle
I just think that sports movies have such a built-in visceral, rooting interest, an epic win or lose redemptive quality. When they get it right, it can make for a really rousing movie experience. Shawn Levy
There’s a song called ‘Slip To The Void,’ which is fairly long and has more of an epic approach. And I guess for lack of a better term some people might throw the progressive tag on it. I don’t know if it necessarily falls into that – a few people have brought that up who have heard it. Myles Kennedy
Everything that’s going on within the peloton – there’s about ten different races going on. There is also a survival element to it – I love the fact that it’s so epic. You crash on a bike, the first thing you do is try and get back up on it. No whinging! David Millar
I don’t know what has happened to movies, but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic – a movie about Gandhi; something with very important subject matters. Ethan Hawke
I want to have an epic life. I want to tell my life with big adjectives. I want to forget all the grays in between, and remember the highlights and the dark moments. Isabel Allende
Sci-fi films are the epic films of the day because we can no longer put 10,000 extras in the scene – but we can draw thousands of aliens with computers. William Shatner
Koons’s work has always stood apart for its one-at-a-time perfection, epic theatricality, a corrupted, almost sick drive for purification, and an obsession with traditional artistic values. Jerry Saltz
We’ll turn down crappy games that are submitted to the Epic Store. Tim Sweeney
If epic poetry is a definite species, the sagas do not fall within it. Lascelles Abercrombie
I wanted the feel in these books to be like an epic fantasy, with kings, queens, dukes and court politics, but of course like what I was explaining before, about making the science make sense, you have to make the politics make sense, too. Kevin J. Anderson
‘Lincoln’ is a powerful film. It’s one of those epic films that talk about this very specific issue in history of the United States. Demian Bichir
The epic poet has behind him a tradition of matter and a tradition of style; and that is what every other poet has behind him too; only, for the epic poet, tradition is rather narrower, rather more strictly compelling. Lascelles Abercrombie
To me, the fact that the Mexican came North in search of a better life is a tremendous epic that hasn’t been written. It’s an odyssey that we know nothing about. And they came with a dream for a better life. Rudolfo Anaya
In fantasy there are no limits or boundaries. The worlds are so epic. A lot of people like losing themselves in these fantastical worlds. Madeleine Madden
The fact that The Bridge contains folk lore and other material suitable to the epic form need not therefore prove its failure as a long lyric poem, with interrelated sections. Hart Crane
And for the city’s birthday, we will host events in every neighborhood of the city, inviting all of our residents to share in the celebration of Boston’s great epic – the story of neighbors who support one another where it matters most. Thomas Menino

‘Avatar’ is the greatest, most comprehensive collection of movie cliches ever assembled, but it’s put together in a brand new way with a new technology, and tremendous imagination, making it a true epic and a kind of a milestone. Joe Dante
There are epic downsides to living a somewhat public life. The upshot of that is there’s nothing to hide. It’s a relief in a way. There’s nothing about me that can’t be said. Natasha Lyonne
I’m struggling with what is epic. People decided I was epic – if by epic, do you mean a big, heavy book? ‘David Copperfield’ is a big book – is it epic? Amount of time covered, length, drama, or story – that’s the real appeal – if the story is long you have a better chance of becoming more connected. Patrick Rothfuss
But the development of human society does not go straight forward; and the epic process will therefore be a recurring process, the series a recurring series – though not in exact repetition. Lascelles Abercrombie
‘Mayabazar’ was the film I immensely loved as a kid. Only when I became a filmmaker about 20 years later did I realise its technical marvel and what a great epic it was. I and my visual effects supervisor, while making ‘Yamadonga,’ took two days to understand the magnification shot of Ghatothkatcha’s persona. S. S. Rajamouli
The first epics were intended for recitation; the literary epic is meant to be read. Lascelles Abercrombie
Historically, epics are set in Africa or Asia or the Wild West, but if you make an epic today it’s hard to disassociate from the contemporary realities of those places. Baz Luhrmann
I went into writing ‘The Young Elites’ with a great deal of fear – I’d been told repeatedly that a villain’s story would be far too dark for young readers to want and that no one would like my villainess, Adelina. I braced myself for epic failure. Marie Lu
I often make movies that involve depression or deep holes of sadness, although there are also these other great things in ‘New Moon,’ like this epic set-piece at the end of the film in Italy. Chris Weitz
The epic implications of being human end in more than this: We start our lives as if they were momentous stories, with a beginning, a middle and an appropriate end, only to find that they are mostly middles. Anatole Broyard
The world knows of a vast stock of epic material scattered up and down the nations; sometimes its artistic value is as extraordinary as its archaeological interest, but not always. Lascelles Abercrombie
When Ulysses hears his own story sung by an epic poet and then he reveals his identity and the poet wants to continue singing, Ulysses isn’t interested any longer. That’s very astonishing. Raymond Queneau
Evolution isn’t just a story about where we came from. It’s an epic at the center of life itself. Far from robbing our lives of meaning, it instills an appreciation for the beautiful, enduring, and ultimately triumphant fabric of life that covers our planet. Understanding that doesn’t demean human life – it enhances it. Kenneth R. Miller
Considered subjectively, philosophy always begins in the middle, like an epic poem. Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
In an age robbed of religious symbols, going to the shops replaces going to the church. We have a free choice, but at a price. We can win experience, but never achieve innocence. Marx knew that the epic activities of the modern world involve not lance and sword but dry goods. Stephen Bayley
There is only one thing which can master the perplexed stuff of epic material into unity; and that is, an ability to see in particular human experience some significant symbolism of man’s general destiny. Lascelles Abercrombie
Australia has suffered a decade of drought, epic floods, a Category 5 cyclone, and a plague of locusts. But just because Aussies have the biggest carbon footprint in the world, it doesn’t mean they’re stupid. Jeff Goodell
‘Grey’s’ is just a machine. I wasn’t really prepared for the epic nature of how popular the show is. Kevin McKidd
‘War and Peace’ may be the most epic thing ever created by a human being. Mark Manson
Asking why rappers always talk about their stuff is like asking why Milton is forever listing the attributes of heavenly armies. Because boasting is a formal condition of the epic form. And those taught that they deserve nothing rightly enjoy it when they succeed in terms the culture understands. Zadie Smith
I’ve read ‘Valley of the Dolls’ at least four times. It’s so epic! Ashley Madekwe
Feminine passion is to masculine as an epic is to an epigram. Karl Kraus
I think, in the grand epic, Jesus is the hero of our stories. And our stories, as they were, are subplots in a grand epic and our job is not to be the hero of any story. Our job is to be a saint in a story that he is telling. Donald Miller
At its best, Aboriginal art has been effective in translating an entire culture and the understanding of an entire continent. Indeed, the more we interpret Australia through Aboriginal eyes, through the experience of their long and epic story, the more we allow ourselves to understand the land we share. Paul Keating
That is to say, epic poetry has been invented many times and independently; but, as the needs which prompted the invention have been broadly similar, so the invention itself has been. Lascelles Abercrombie
To make three films out of one shortish book, they have to turn it into an epic, just as ‘Lord of the Rings’ is an epic. But ‘The Hobbit’ isn’t an epic: its tone is intimate and personal, and although it’s full of adventures and excitement, they’re on a different scale to those of the bigger book. John Lanchester
Cut quarrels out of literature, and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left. Robert Staughton Lynd
Epic will manually curate the Epic Games storefront rather than relying on algorithms or paid ads. Tim Sweeney
Epic science fiction game, that’s always been on my mind. Post-apocalyptic, ‘Fallout,’ was our first choice. Sci-fi was our second at the time, when we got the ‘Fallout’ license. We were going to do our own post-apocalyptic universe if we didn’t get ‘Fallout.’ Todd Howard
I wouldn’t know how to write a weak female character. I read so much epic fantasy growing up, where you have these sword-wielding, in-your-face warrior maidens. Richelle Mead
At the same time, it’s a family story and more of an epic. I needed the third-person. I tried to give a sense that Cal, in writing his story, is perhaps inventing his past as much as recalling it. Jeffrey Eugenides
I’m a big John Steinbeck fan. Cormac McCarthy. I’ve always loved the stories of regular people. Mark Twain, too. When you look back at some of the epic writers of our country’s history, very rarely do you find upper-class royalty. We seem to delve into the struggle of life and the labor of life much more frequently. Lucas Neff
Gamers always believe that an epic win is possible and that it’s always worth trying, and trying now. Gamers don’t sit around. Jane McGonigal
These days young kids don’t have any place to form an epic adventure. It’s more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That’s very hard on them. They’re being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It’s so sad. John Lydon
I’ve always wanted to play a role as a producer and a curator and to help make drag really have an epic scale and a large audience and a lot of interest. Sasha Velour
The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out. Walter Benjamin
All the men in my life have been two things: an epic and an epidemic. Ethel Waters

I realize that Facebook today is a global success with more than 600 million users worldwide. But I also understand, maybe a bit sadly, that it is not for me. Perhaps it is because I am a bit too old? Or perhaps it is because I am more interested in exploring the epic text, which I have lived with for all my life. Henning Mankell
The epic poet collaborates with the spirit of his time in the composition of his work. That is, if he is successful; the time may refuse to work with him, but he may not refuse to work with his time. Lascelles Abercrombie
I grew up reading ‘Lord of the Rings’ and comic books, so that kind of epic quality I like. Joseph Morgan

Mike and I were really interested in other epic ‘Legends & Lore’ properties, like ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Lord of the Rings,’ but we knew that we wanted to take a different approach to that type of genre. Our love for Japanese Anime, Hong Kong action & Kung Fu cinema, yoga, and Eastern philosophies led us to the initial inspiration for ‘Avatar.’ Bryan Konietzko
Your primary presumption that The Bridge was proffered as an epic has no substantial foundation. You know quite well that I doubt that our present stage of cultural development is so ordered yet as to provide the means or method for such an organic manifestation as that. Hart Crane
With several different kinds of poetry to choose from, a man would decide that he would like best to be an epic poet, and he would set out, in conscious determination, on an epic poem. Lascelles Abercrombie

You have to be doing things that matter – responsibility, but also responsibility with epic and beautiful and noble tasks. Michelle Bachelet

My A&R at Epic got fired the first week I got signed. Travis Scott
My secret dream is to write an epic poem. That’s probably the most pretentious thing I’ve said. Laurie Anderson

I think our relationship with Epic had run its natural course, and it happened to coincide with the fulfillment of our contract. We decided not to resign with them. Mike McCready
