Andrei Tarkovsky
“If you look for a meaning, you’ll miss everything that happens.”
Andrei Tarkovsky

“What was great about the '50s is that, for one brief moment - maybe, say, six weeks - nobody understood art.”
Morton Feldman

U.G. Krishnamurti
“The body cannot be afraid of death. The movement that is created by society or culture is what does not want to come to an end. . . . What you are afraid of is not death. In fact, you don't want to be free from fear. . . . It is the fear that makes you believe that you are living and that you will be dead. What we do not want is the fear to come to an end. That is why we have invented all these new minds, new science, new talk, therapies, choiceless awareness and various other gimmicks. Fear is the very thing that you do not want to be free from. What you call “yourself” is fear. The “you” is born out of fear; it lives in fear, functions in fear and dies in fear.”
U.G. Krishnamurti, No Way Out: Dialogues with Krishnamurti

Gustave Flaubert
“The more ideas they had the more they suffered.”
Gustave Flaubert, Bouvard and Pécuchet with The Dictionary of Received Ideas

“I hope you don’t mind tea in mugs,’ she said, coming in with a tray. ‘I told you I was a slut.”
