"(...) You'll have to learn to live in a very strange new world."

"The years shall run like rabbits,For in my arms I holdThe Flower of the Ages,And the first love of the world.'But all the clocks in the cityBegan to whirr and chime:You cannot conquer Time.
'In the burrows of the NightmareWhere Justice naked is,Time watches from the shadowAnd coughs when you would kiss.
'In headaches and in worryVaguely life leaks away,And Time will have his fancyTo-morrow or to-day."

‎"For me, the cinema is primarily a form. A film must have a form, otherwise it doesn't say anything. 'Form' is something visual, not intellectual. When I'm making a film I look a lot, and think very little. You think later, during the editing, not while you're shooting"

"I'm the hero of the story

Don't need to be saved

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right

No one's got it all"

"não conseguiu firmar o nobre pacto

entre o cosmo sangrento e a alma pura

(...)

gladiador defunto, mas intacto

(tanta violência, mas tanta ternura)"

"But what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself,into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously..."

"Nada de valor absoluto de uma imagem.

Imagens e sons só terão valor e força na utilização à qual você os destina."

se na literatura há "livro do desassossego", em cinema um paralelo equivalente com "notas sobre o cinematógrafo".

"Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it."

"(...) Tied to a night they never met

You know it's time
That we grow old and do some shit"

"(...) who dreamt and made incarnate gaps in Time & Space through images juxtaposed, and trapped the archangel of the soul between 2 visual images and joined the elemental verbs and set the noun and dash of consciousness together jumping (...)"

"You are no longer inaccessible, the limpid, the transparent one (...) You are waiting."

"Because now I am grown so old and neutral...."

"By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired."

"(...) Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that."

"Only by living absurdly is it possible to break out of this infinite absurdity."

‘The man’s the work. Something doesn’t come out of nothing"

"You cannot find peace by avoiding life."

"I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken.' And, uh, the doctor says, 'Well, why don't you turn him in?' The guy says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.' Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs."

"I learned that just beneath the surface, there's another world, and still different worlds as one digs deeper. Nothing is as it seems -- I knew it as a kid, but couldn't find proof. It was just a feeling. There is goodness like those blue skies and flowers, but another force -- a wild pain and decay also accompanies everything."
