Δημήτρης Λιαντίνης
“Την απόκρυψη και την καταφυγή από τον πανικό φόβο του θανάτου ο άνθρωπος την εβάφτισε θεούς και θρησκείες. Και ζωή μετά θάνατο. Προπαντός αυτό. Η πίστη στη ζωή μετά θάνατο είναι το σύστημα ανάρτησης, είναι η ραχοκοκαλιά όλων
των θρησκειών. Βρες μου μια θρησκεία, που ο ιδρυτής της να μην εστερέωσε το οικοδόμημα της απάνου στην θεμέλια πέτρα της πίστης για μια ζωή μετά θάνατο, κι εγώ θα σου δείξω πως η θρησκεία αυτή δεν έχει οπαδό ούτε τον ίδιο τον ιδρυτή της.”
Δημήτρης Λιαντίνης, Γκέμμα

Luis Buñuel
“Sometimes, watching a movie is a bit like being raped.”
Luis Buñuel, My Last Sigh

Luis Buñuel
“As inexplicable as the accidents that set it off, our imagination is a crucial privilege. I've tried my whole life simply to accept the images that present themselves to me without trying to analyze them. I remember when we were shooting That Obscure Object of Desire in Seville and I suddenly found myself telling Fernando Rey, at the end of a scene, to pick up a big sack filled with tools lying on a bench, sling it over his shoulder, and walk away. The action was completely irrational, yet it seemed absolutely right to me. Still, I was worried about it, so I shot two versions of the scene: one with the sack, one without. But during the rushes the following day, the whole crew agreed that the scene was much better with the sack. Why? I can't explain it, and I don't enjoy rummaging around in the cliches of psychoanalysis.”
Luis Buñuel, My Last Sigh

Alejandro Jodorowsky
“One does not go to the theater to escape from himself, but to reestablish contact with the mystery that we all are.”
Alejandro Jodorowsky, Psychomagic: The Transformative Power of Shamanic Psychotherapy

Alejandro Jodorowsky
“During a party, Luis Buñuel, seduced by Carrington’s beauty and emboldened by the notion that she had transcended all bourgeois morality, proposed (with his characteristic bluntness) that she become his mistress. Without even waiting for her answer, he gave her the key to the secret studio that he used as a love nest and told her to meet him at three o’clock the next afternoon. Early the next morning, Leonora went to visit the place alone. She found it tasteless: It looked exactly like a motel room. Taking advantage of the fact that she was in her menstrual period, she covered her hands with blood and used them to make bloody handprints all over the walls in order to provide a bit of decoration for that anonymous, impersonal room. Buñuel never spoke to her again.”
Alejandro Jodorowsky, The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky: The Creator of El Topo
