“Our homeland in the language we spoke, thought, and wrote in, not the place where we were born. We live in the space of our language, and to expand it, it's not enough to just leave; we need to start thinking in other languages.”
― Dmitry Berkut, Clochard

“...coldness, cynicism, distance – all these things have a common identity somewhere. And this is very characteristic of our era. I have the impression that we are increasingly cold and cynical toward each other and create ever-greater distances. I even have the impression that I can remember a time when it was warmer, and that over the fifty years of my life I have been watching us grow colder around each and every one of us. This is a trend we are witnessing and that everything in the world changes at some point. It can easily be observed and so it finds its way into the films I have made, for I have tried to depict the times in which we live. (*1995*)”

“There is something in the widely held view that no lessons are learnt from history and that mankind takes no notice of what history has done. Certainly each successive catastrophe is evidence that the civilisation in question was misconceived; and when man is forced to start all over again, it can only be because up till then he has had as his aim something other than spiritual perfection.”
― Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time
