“Never try to convey your idea to the audience - it is a thankless and senseless task. Show them life, and they’ll find within themselves the means to assess and appreciate it.”
― Andrei Tarkovsky

“Some sort of pressure must exist; the artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn’t look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world.”
― Andrei Tarkovsky

“Little plots and stories, acted out and screened, can't possibly be called cinema. They have nothing whatever to do with cinema. A cinematographic work is above all a work which would not be possible in any other art form. In other words. it can be created by means of cinema, and cinema alone”
― Andrei Tarkovsky, Journal 1970-1986

“শিল্পীর সামাজিক দায়িত্ব সম্পূর্ণ আছে। সামাজিক দায়িত্ব যারা এড়িয়ে চলে তারাও সামাজিক দায়িত্ব পালন করছে। অর্থাৎ তারা ওপরতলার শুয়োরের বাচ্চাদেরকে সাহায্য করছে। সামাজিক দায়িত্ব প্রত্যেকেই পালন করছে।”
― Ritwik Ghatak, নিজের পায়ে নিজের পথে
