Federico Fellini Quotes

Jung acompanha-nos à porta do incognoscível e deixa que vejamos e comprendamos por nós próprios.

„Мисля, че животът крие повече от онова, което знаем или някога ще узнаем. Религиозното, мистичното, психичното, чудодейното; съдбата, предназначението, съвпадението. Страната на име Неизвестното. Зная, че понякога ми се смеят и подиграват за готовността да възприемам всичко от А до Я, от астрологията до ясновидството, от Юнг до спиритическите сеанси и кристалните топки, но обещанието за чудеса ме омайва. Подигравачите и мърморковците не ме спират. Нека си живеят, вкоренени в земното, онези, които считат, че всичко трябва да има прагматично научно обяснение. Не желая да познавам хора, които не могат да кажат; „Представяш ли си!“ в отговор на някакво вдъхновяващо благоговение, необяснено явление. Мисленето наужким е най-важният вид мислене. Човек се развива натам, накъдето може да се развие, без да взема предвид вече известното.

Experience is what you get while looking for something else.

All art is autobiographical.

أنا لا أتذكر أيام المدرسة جيدًا. لقد اختلطت كلها، فصار العام كأنه يوم، واليوم كأنه تكرارٌ للأيام السابقة كلها. لكن لم تكن حياتي في المدرسة.ففي أثناء الدروس كنت أشعر دائمًا وكأني أفتقد شيئًا أكثر أهمية، شيئًا أروع من أي شيء يُعرف في غرف الصف.

Quisiera decirles, muchachos, que cada cual cuenta sólo aquello que conoce.

Il bello sarebbe meno ingannevole e insidioso se cominciasse a venir considerato bello tutto ciò che dà un'emozione, indipendentemente dai canoni stabiliti.

The young watch television twenty-four hours a day, they don't read and they rarely listen. This incessant bombardment of images has developed a hypertrophied eye condition that's turning them into a race of mutants. They should pass a law for a total reeducation of the young, making children visit the Galleria Borghese on a daily basis.

You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.

Chaque langue voit le monde d’une manière différente.

We can all pretend to be cynical and scheming, but when we’re faced with purity and innocence, the cynical mask drops off.

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.

It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.

Borges is particularly stimulating to a man who works in the cinema, because the unusual thing about his writing is that it is like a dream, extraordinarily farsighted in calling up from the unconscious complete images in which the thing itself, and its meaning, coexist - exactly as happens in a film. And, just as happens in dreams, in Borges the incongruous, the absurd, the contradictory, the arcane and the repetitive, although as powerfully imaginative as ever, are at the same time illumined like the careful details of something larger, something unknown, and are the faultless elements of a cruelly perfect, indifferent mosaic. Even the fact that Borges's work is strangely fragmentary makes me think of a broken dreamlike flow; and the heterogeneous quality of his work - stories, essays, poems - I prefer to see not as the union of the multiple threads in a greedy, impatient talent, but as a mysterious sign of unending change.

Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
