“I don’t like the idea of “understanding” a film. I don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.”
― Federico Fellini

“I think literature is best when it's voicing what we would prefer not to talk about.”
― Rick Moody

“HALT stands for hungry, angry, lonely and tired and you should never make a decision when you are any of those things.”
― Gary Halbert, The Boron Letters

“It is never too late to ask yourself, ‘Am I ready to change the life I am living? Am I ready to change within?’ Even if a single day in your life is the same as the day before, it surely is a pity. At every moment and with each new breath, one should be renewed and renewed again. There is only one way to be born into a new life: to die before death.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love
