“There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life. ”
“If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet...maybe we could understand something.”
“You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.”
“I don’t like the idea of “understanding” a film. I don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.”
“A different language is a different vision of life.”
“I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.”
“We must get beyond passions, like a great work of art. In such miraculous harmony. We should learn to love each other so much to live outside of time... detached.”
“An artist is a provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one. It’s this in-between that I’m calling a province, this frontier country between the tangible world and the intangible one. That is the realm of the artist.”
“Going to the cinema is like returning to the womb; you sit there still and meditative in the darkness, waiting for life to appear on the screen. One should go to the cinema with the innocence of a fetus”
“I’m just a storyteller, and the cinema happens to be my medium. I like it because it recreates life in movement, enlarges it, enhances it, distills it. For me, it’s far closer to the miraculous creation of life than, say, a painting or music or even literature. It’s not just an art form; it’s actually a new form of life, with its own rhythms, cadences, perspectives and transparencies. It’s my way of telling a story.”
“All art is autobiographical.”
“Experience is what you get while looking for something else.”
“Happiness is simply a temporary condition that proceeds unhappiness. Fortunately for us, it works the other way around as well. But it's all a part of the carnival, isn't it?”
“Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.”
“I even see the cinema itself as a woman, with its alternation of light and darkness, of appearing and disappearing images”
“ Fate is written in the face.”
“Jung acompanha-nos à porta do incognoscível e deixa que vejamos e compreendamos por nós próprios.”
“Ricordati che è un film comico. ['Remember, this is a comedy']”
"Nothing is more honest than a dream."
"Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets."
Federico Fellini
