Dunes Movie Quotes

I wanted adventures. I wanted to go up the Nung river to the heart of darkness in Cambodia. I wanted to ride out into a desert on camelback, sand and dunes in every direction, eat whole roasted lamb with my fingers. I wanted to kick snow off my boots in a Mafiya nightclub in Russia. I wanted to play with automatic weapons in Phnom Penh, recapture the past in a small oyster village in France, step into a seedy neon-lit pulqueria in rural Mexico.

It is the difference between “BDHIGE-HGDVNB,” which is complex but has no design, “BBBBBBBB,” which has design but is not complex, and “Be back at 8 p.m.,” which is both designed and complex. When we see complex, specific design, we recognize it as the result of an intelligent being.
