This is a mission and a vision to do good as well as doing well.

Art is ruled uniquely by the imagination.

All history is contemporary history.

History is various and sinuous and no essential part of the human spirit is ever wholly absent from it.

We shall not understand the history of men and other times unless we ourselves are alive to the requirements which that history satisfied.

The writing of histories - as Goethe once noted - is one way of getting rid of the weight of the past.... The writing of history liberates us from history.

Art is what everyone knows it is.

Historical judgement is not a variety of knowledge, it is knowledge itself; it is the form which completely fills and exhausts the field of knowing, leaving no room for anything else.

The translation called good has original value as a work of art.

Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action a superior mind exists in torture.

...so i will greet youin a wayall loved thingsare meant to be greetedwith a tear in my heartand a poem in my eye.

You'd better do what you feel good about doing. If we [try] to figure out what it is the audience wants and then try to deliver it to them, we're lost souls on the ghost ship forever.

The psychiatrists examine you and ask you about your life and work, and then they decide whether your film can be shown or not. It's a horrible experience.

I have never been a communicant.

We willingly accept and even embrace this mind control, and probably without even knowing it.

Forgiveness is the nature of my art in general. It's expressing love and compassion, the kinds of things that don't make sense in any other context other than emotive expression.
