John Cassavetes
“I’m very worried about the depiction of women on the screen. It’s gotten worse than ever and it’s related to their being either high- or low-class concubines, and the only question is when or where they will go to bed, with whom, and how many. There’s nothing to do with the dreams of women, or of woman as the dream, nothing to do with the quirky part of her, the wonder of her.”
John Cassavetes

Tonino Guerra
“Contento, proprio contento
sono stato molte volte nella vita
ma più di tutte quando
mi hanno liberato in Germania
che mi sono messo a guardare una farfalla
senza la voglia di mangiarla.”
Tonino Guerra

Ryszard Kapuściński
“When man meets an obstacle he can't destroy, he destroys himself”
Ryszard Kapuscinski, The Other

Eve Babitz
“Culturally, L.A. has always been a humid jungle alive with seething L.A. projects that I guess people from other places just can't see. It takes a certain kind of innocence to like L.A., anyway. It requires a certain plain happiness inside to be happy in L.A., to choose it and be happy here. When people are not happy, they fight against L.A. and say it's a 'wasteland' and other helpful descriptions.”
Eve Babitz, Eve's Hollywood

John Cassavetes
“I’ve never seen an exploding helicopter. I’ve never seen anybody go and blow somebody’s head off. So why should I make films about them? But I have seen people destroy themselves in the smallest way, I’ve seen people withdraw, I’ve seen people hide behind political ideas, behind dope, behind the sexual revolution, behind fascism, behind hypocrisy, and I’ve myself done all these things. So I can understand them. What we are saying is so gentle. It’s gentleness. We have problems, terrible problems, but our problems are human problems.”
John Cassavetes
