One reason that I don’t look at my films again once they’re finished is because I’ve already learned from them what I’m going to learn and watching them over again doesn’t teach me anything. There’s a quote by the French poet Paul Valéry; he said, "a poem is never finished, only abandoned."

Black and white photograph of Pasolini in 1964 on the set of 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew'. Pasolini looks up in almost expectantly to the right, eyebrows somewhat raised and his right hand almost touching his right cheek.
"[T]he way I look at the things of the world... is not secular: to some extent I take things as miraculous. Every object is miraculous for me: my worldview—in an always amorphous way, let’s say—is not strictly in accordance with any religion, but is somehow religious."
Pier Paolo Pasolini
"Soy mujer.
Y un entrañable calor me abriga
cuando el mundo me golpea.
Es el calor de las otras mujeres,
de aquellas que hicieron de la vida
este rincón sensible, luchador,
de piel suave y corazón guerrero".

Zhuang Zi:
"Language is not merely the sound of blowing wind.
Words carry meaning,
even if that meaning is not fixed.
Is something truly being said? Or has nothing been said at all?
It’s believed to be different from the chirping of birds,
but is there really a difference, or not?"
“The void, the concept of nothingness, is terrifying to most people on the planet. And I get anxiety attacks myself. I know the fear of that void. You have to learn to die before you die. You give up, surrender to the void, to nothingness.”
Harry Dean Stanton.

"In making for ourselves a place to live, we first spread a parasol to throw a shadow on the earth, and in the pale light of the shadow we put together a house.”
