"The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think that they sing, they just screech in pain."

"What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams."

"The world reveals itself to those who travel by foot."

"Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life."

"Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness."

"Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination."

"There are deeper strata of truth in cinema, and there is such a thing as poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization."
