The Lighthouse’ couldn’t have been made without this kind of freedom that is allowed to some filmmakers to be able to play around with genre.

My brother and I grew up in a setting in the woods very much like ‘The Witch’ in southern New Hampshire, and then we would drive up north to Maine to settings like ‘The Lighthouse’ for vacations. Robert Eggers

At some point, I picked up an old library copy of ‘To The Lighthouse’ someone had bought for 25 cents. I began to read and didn’t stop until the sun had blistered my back. A mysterious rightness, a beautiful submerged truth had invaded me, one that has ever since seemed slightly beyond my grasp. Lauren Groff
The Lighthouse’ isn’t scary. A few people have said it is, but I don’t think it is. Robert Eggers
I went through the immigration thing. But when I got to New York it wasn’t so tough for me. I went to school. I went to P.S. 57, then I went to the Lighthouse for the Blind on 59th St. I guess being blind is a great leveler. Jose Feliciano
We go by the lighthouse; paddle out. After we got out, we paddled way down to get the biggest peak. George Downing
Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse. Charles Dickens
For me, a writer should be more like a lighthouse keeper, just out there by himself. He shouldn’t get his ideas from other people all around him. Robert M. Pirsig
The best place for puffin watching is Sumburgh Head, at the south end of the Shetland mainland. There used to be a lighthouse there, but it’s now a visitor centre and gallery; they run a webcam, so you can check on the puffins in advance. Ann Cleeves
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck. Immanuel Kant

From Captain Britain’s point of view we live in a great, heavily populated omniverse and our reality is just one part of that. In each of the parallel worlds there is a lighthouse on every shore of every England where the champion has his base. Chris Claremont

Three years into getting ‘The Witch’ financed, I was hanging out with my brother and he was like, ‘I’m working on this script. It’s a ghost story in a lighthouse.’ I thought, ‘Damn, that’s a really good idea, I wish I’d had it.’ Robert Eggers
When ‘The Lighthouse,’ bizarrely, became the film that people wanted to greenlight, it was really clear that those were the only two people to play the roles. And I knew that they would want to do it. Robert Eggers
Country music is always changing but the Opry is always there to serve as a lighthouse for what country music really is. The past, present and future is all encompassed by not only the physical structure of the building but also the radio show. Dierks Bentley
The Witch’ was very well planned, but ‘The Lighthouse’ was so much more so. Robert Eggers
I think I had my answers to the questions in ‘The Witch,’ and I had my answers to the questions in ‘The Lighthouse;’ I need those in order to write and direct them. Robert Eggers
A fallen lighthouse is more dangerous than a reef. Navjot Singh Sidhu
I’d worked at a small town newspaper, and I was thinking of all the strange stories that I had seen float through the newsroom in my time there that were dismissed as kind of amusing curiosities. Somehow from that I got to this idea of an eccentric alcoholic who built a lighthouse in the woods. Michael Koryta
