Sometime reality is too complex. Stories give it form.

If we think today the way TV is ordering us to think, we think of Einstein as someone modern. Stravinsky is modern music, but it came at the time of Birth of a Nation, which is an old movie.

Sometimes reality is too complex for oral communication. But legend embodies it in a form which enables it to spread all over the world.

Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.

I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.

When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other.

Suddenly, I don't know what to say. It happens often to me. I know what I want to say, I think about whether it is what I mean, but when the moment comes to speak, I can't say it. - Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie.
