We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like. I have prepared one of my own. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder, and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like.

Additional quotes by Alfred Hitchcock

You know what I think? I think that . . . we're all in our private traps — clamped in them — and none of us can ever get out. We scratch and claw, but only at the air, only at each other, and for all of it, we never budge an inch.

I’m full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm.
