Jean-Luc Godard
» Arts and Artists » “Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.”
» Beauty » “Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.”
» Cinema » “All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl.”
» Cinema » “The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
» Fear » “The truth is that there is no terror untempered by some great moral idea.”
» Style » “To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body — both go together, they can’t be separated.”
