Sequel Quotes - page 2

The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original. (Dean Koontz)
We all approached doing a sequel with great trepidation and skepticism. View quote
Jason Biggs
You have to be very careful when you're working on a sequel, because it has to be a continuation of what you did before. View quote
Hideo Kojima
A sequel is an admission that you've been reduced to imitating yourself. View quote
Don Marquis
She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning. View quote
Jane Austen
After a few seconds, he said, "You're devout, aren't you? Some species of Christian, I imagine?” She smiled faintly. "Yes.” "I would say that was a mark against your intelligence, but since you're both nice girls, I won't say it. But you assume a sequel to this life, one in which noble sacrifices are rewarded, or at least noted. I'm convinced that no note is taken at all, and that, as far as any one of us is concerned, the universe comes to an end at the moment of his death.”. View quote
Tim Powers
Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through. View quote
Wisława Szymborska
It was not a very white jacket, but white enough, in all conscience, as the sequel will show. The way I came by it was this... View quote
Herman Melville
Not long after his (Justinian) accession, he reaffirmed the penalties which previous Emperors had enacted against the pagans, and forbade all donations or legacies for the purpose of maintaining "Hellenic impiety,"... by making the profession of (Christian) orthodoxy a necessary condition for public teaching Justinian accelerated the extinction of "Hellenism."... This event had a curious sequel. Some of the philosophers whose occupation was gone resolved to cast the dust of the Christian Empire from their feet and migrate. View quote

The latest chapter of the venerable slasher film saga represents the tenth movie to use the title (although only the ninth with Myers); it's a sequel to the remake but not necessarily a remake of the sequel. It is also a complete and utter abomination. The film is so bad that it may make me rethink my stance on installment #6 (The Curse of Michael Myers) as the worst entry. That one, at least by all accounts, was severely compromised as a result of distributor interference. This one represents Rob Zombie's "vision." View quote
James Berardinelli
If there was ever an action movie that didn't warrant a sequel, it's Speed. However, the film grossed enough money to be numbered among the big summer hits of 1994, and the unfortunate result is this film, which reunites director Jan de Bont with leading lady Sandra Bullock, while leaving Keanu Reeves somewhere safe and dry, "working on his music" with his band, Dogstar. Considering the dubious quality of the final product, this may be the wisest decision of the young actor's career. Speed 2 can be numbered among the worst second chapters ever made. (James Berardinelli)
Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders. View quote
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I thought 'UnSouled' would come in at around 400 pages, but it took 650 pages, and even then I felt like I was rushing the conclusion, so I asked my editor and publisher if I could divide it again. So a sequel became a trilogy, and the trilogy became a tetralogy - although we're not calling it that. View quote
Neal Shusterman
I don't have any specific plans to return to the 'Age of the Five.' If I do, it won't be a sequel. View quote
Trudi Canavan
What is at first small is often extremely large in the end. And so it happens that whoever deviates only a little from truth in the beginning is led farther and farther afield in the sequel, and to errors which are a thousand times as large. View quote
Franz Brentano
I don't write any kind of sequel or remake. View quote
Bong Joon-ho
'Shantaram' is the second in the series of a quartet of novels that I have planned about my life but is the first to be written. The third book is a sequel to 'Shantaram,' the first a prequel. View quote
Gregory David Roberts
To love in the sense of passion-love is the contrary of to live. It is an impoverishment of one's being, an askesis without sequel, an inability to enjoy the present without imagining it as absent, a never-ending flight from possession. View quote
Denis de Rougemont
I never thought about doing a sequel when I was actually writing 'The Magicians.' I only ever considered it a standalone. View quote
Lev Grossman
When you're an actress, there are only a few times you can really get paid. One of them is doing a sequel. They can't fake you or hire another actor to play you. View quote
Jennifer Coolidge
There's nothing worse than the sequel that's a letdown from the first movie. (Paul Feig)
Dalissem chuckled. It felt like being grinned at by a big mountain cat-delightful for the beauty of the animal, disturbing for the possible sequel. View quote
Michael Shea
I mean, frankly, I'm not speaking as a representative of Disney or Pixar, I'm speaking as just myself as a filmmaker: I don't go into anything that often thinking about a sequel. View quote
Andrew Stanton
I did three of the original 'Twilight Zone' episodes, yes. Also, I did a little thing in the feature film, and then I wrote one of the episodes in 'The Twilight Zone's last round where I starred with Cloris Leachman and my daughter Liliana in a true sequel to 'It's a Good Life.' So, yes, I have a good 'Twilight Zone' alumni jacket. View quote
Bill Mumy
I would love to see a sequel to 'The Rocketeer.' I'd love to see that! I don't know that I would be in it. I may be a little long in the tooth to play 'The Rocketeer.' But I would love to be a part of that in some form or fashion. View quote
Billy Campbell
