“Some people dreamed of a cinema that would give us the magnificent but frightening economy of fiction, of its characters and its artificial time — a cinema that would be one with our own presence, unfolding in a perpetual offering, in that thickness proper to reality given by the unique freedom granted to every individual.
Others dreamed of a cinema that would be the miracle of doubles reunited once more at their origin — simple, unique, placed without the escapes of thought and with all the power of the senses. A cinema after which we would never be the same again.”
― What is Cinema? Volume I

“There is an art in the future, and it will be so beautiful and so young that, true enough, if we sacrifice our youth for it now, we can only gain serenity in return.”
