The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Krzysztof Kieślowski
- I believe the life of every person is worthy of scrutiny, containing its own secrets and dramas.
- For me optimism is two lovers walking into the sunset arm in arm. Or maybe into the sunrise – whatever appeals to you.
- Different people in different parts of the world can be thinking the same thoughts at the same time. It’s an obsession of mine: that different people in different places are thinking the same thing but for different reasons. I try to make films which connect people.
- I have one good characteristic: I’m a pessimist, so I always imagine the worst – always. To me, the future is a black hole.
- Real artists find answers. The knowledge of the artisan is within the confines of his skills. For example, I know a lot about lenses, about the editing room. I know what the different buttons on the camera are for. I know more or less how to use a microphone. I know all that, but that’s not real knowledge. Real knowledge is knowing how to live, why we live, things like that.
- I like chance meetings – life is full of them. Every day, without realising it, I pass people whom I should know.
- We all steal, but if we’re smart we steal from great directors. Then, we can call it influence.
- In believing too much in rationality, our contemporaries have lost something.
- Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.
- You have to want to make a film for other reasons – to say something, to tell a story, to show somebody’s fate – but you can’t want to make a film simply for the sake of it.
