Bad Quote by John Hurt
“Where humanity is going to find itself in, say, 20, 30, 40, or 50 years would be very difficult to predict, I think. There are moments, of course, when you think that it's going from bad to worse, but there are other moments when you think that human efforts are really flowering into something really fantastic.”

![“I got used to [ Lars Von Trier] doing the narration for 'Dogville' and 'Manderley.' And I said to him I do these narrations for you but you never put me in a film! So he called my bluff and put me in 'Melancholia' and I was thrilled about that.” quote by John Hurt](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ccf/john-hurt-1669_bluffs_i-got-used-to-lars-von-trier-doing-the-n_55595.jpg)
