Music:
Without music, life would be a mistake.... IPod addict...
Movies:
"It's sad to fall asleep. It separates people. Even when you're sleeping together, you're all alone." (A bout de souffle, Jean-Luc Godard)"Tra dieci minuti sarà l'alba. [..] Se resto avrei l'impressione di abbandonarti non restando anche domani. Se resto anche domani si finirebbe per essere legati l'uno all'altro. Non sarebbe contrario ai patti?.." (Jules et Jim, Francois Truffaut)(…) Ogni sette anni c'e' un anno lunare. Gli individui la cui esistenza risente in modo particolare delle emozioni sono soggetti, durante questi anni, a despressioni, il che succede, anche se non in maniera cosi' rilevante, negli anni con tredici lune nuove. Se un anno lunare e' contemporaneamente un anno con tredici lune, i risultati sono spesso catastrofici. Ci sono sei anni nel ventesimo secolo in cui questa pericolosa coincidenza si verifica. Uno di questi e' il 1978. Prima di questo sono stati il 1908, il 1929, il 1943 e il 1957. Dopo il 1978 il 1992 minaccera' di nuovo la vita di molti.
(Un Anno con 13 lune - In Einen Jahr Mit 13 Monden, Rainer Werner Fassbinder)"To show the narrative on film is like the author telling a story, but there's a difference. When one reads a book, one creates - as a reader - one's own images, but when a story is told on screen in pictures, then it is concrete and really "complete" One is not creative as a member of a film audience, and it was this passivity that I tried to counter in Effi Brief. I would prefer people to "read" the film. It's a film which one cannot simple experience, and which doesn't attack the audience... one has to read it. That's the most significant thing about the film." (Effi Brief, Rainer Werner Fassbinder)"Cinema is identical to life, because each one of us has a virtual and invisible camera which follows us from when we're born to when we die. In reality cinema is an infinite film sequence-shot. Each individual film interrupts and rearranges this infinite sequence-shot and thus creates meaning, which is what happens to us when we die. It is only at our moment of death that our life, to that point undecipherable, ambiguous, suspended, acquires a meaning. Montage thus plays the same role in cinema as death does in life." (Salo' or the hundred and twenty days of Sodom, Pier Paolo Pasolini)"Most directors make films with their eyes; I make films with my testicles." (The Holy Montain, Alexandro Jodorowsky)
Television:
... sometimes ...
Books:
"The man with an ordinary sense of reality is like a fish that nibbles at the hook but is unaware of the line, while the man with that sense of realty which can also be called a sense of possibility trawls a line through the water and has no idea whether there's any bait on it.""The Thoughts of my emotionally so disturbed days must be found again, shifted and developed further. Here and there something of the loose remarks I make must be used, but only when it finds my attention again."... (Robert Musil, Der Mann Ohne Eigenschaften""I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking." "It seems to me that the real clue to your sex-orientation lies in your romantic feelings rather than in your sexual feelings. If you are really gay, you are able to fall in love with a man, not just enjoy having sex with him."... (Christopher Isherwood, Goodbye To Berlin)"Quando mi innamoro, è sempre all'estremo. Non mi capita spesso. Di solito la gente mi da ai nervi. L'amore ha la tendenza a cancellare la mia facciata di persona distaccata e un po' eccentrica. Quando mi innamoro divento caloroso, adorante, presente, devoto e generoso, tanto da spaventare e scocciare le altre persone che frequento ma di cui non sono innamorato, vale a dire la maggioranza di amici e conoscenti, e questo perchè comincio a snobbarli platealmente, non li richiamo quando mi telefonano, in loro compagnia sono distratto, eccetera."... (Dennis Cooper, Idols)"Either forswear fucking others or the affair is over."... "Obviously the facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by an imagination that is formed by your previous experience. Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories of your imaginings of the facts."... (Philip Roth, Sabbath's Theater)"Night was running ahead of itself."... (Jorge Amado, Teresa Batista Stanca di Guerra)"Per tornare a noi, ogni tanto capita di non fidarsi piu';, le persone si trasformano, nella tua mente, in marionette, come pupazzi, ai quali fai eseguire i movimenti che vuoi. O meglio, le tue paure muovono queste marionette, questo tuo teatrino interiore, secondo una sceneggiatura preordinata, che termina puntualmente con la realizzazione del tuo dramma preferito: scomparire dalla faccia della terra."... (Pier Vittorio Tondelli, Camere Separate)
Heroes:
"A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be"... "A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem"... "A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?"... (Albert Einstein)"I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance LSD"... "It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be."... (Albert Hofmann)
