More quotes by Errol Morris
You can't really trust anybody who doesn't talk a lot, because how would you know what they're thinking?
Errol Morris
Everything is a reenactment. We are reenacting the world in the mind. The world is not inside there. It does not reside in the gray matter of the brain.
Errol Morris
There is something about the photographs that is endlessly disturbing. The fact that we like to think of them as torture actually hides what is really deeply offensive about them.
Errol Morris
The pursuit of truth, properly considered, shouldn't stop short of insanity.
Errol Morris
The proper route to an understanding of the world is an examination of our errors about it.
Errol Morris
A lot of the distinctions that we make between drama and documentary are spurious. We're deeply confused about these issues. About the difference between the two, about where documentary ends and drama begins.
Errol Morris
I probably wouldn't have done [ Fred Leuchter story] if it was just a story about an executioner or a holocaust denier, but the combination of the two elements was irresistible. So yeah, I find it strange that there are so many people out there now.
Errol Morris
There is only one direction. (Down.) There is only one color. (Black.) And there is only one number (Zero.)

There's a line I love in Conan The Barbarian where someone says, That used to be another snake cult, now I see it everywhere. That's certainly true of documentaries. I wouldn't say it's ubiquitous, but it's become close to ubiquitous. It's everywhere.
Errol Morris
The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.
Errol Morris
The imprimatur of truthfulness does not guarantee truthfulness. People should know better. But they don't.
Errol Morris
Finding truth involves some kind of activity. As I like to point out, truth isn't handed to you on a platter. It's not something that you get at a cafeteria, where they just put it on your plate. It's a search, a quest, an investigation, a continual process of looking at and looking for evidence, trying to figure out what the evidence means.
Errol Morris
The perfect war is started for obscure reasons, is hopelessly murderous, and accomplishes nothing.
Errol Morris
Not suing others does not mean that others won't sue you.If people are desperate enough to think that they can gain some kind of financial advantage, they'll sue.
Errol Morris
You know, anything more negative, anything more disparaging, anything more adversarial than what [Donald Trump] does already. The mystery is how he's gotten as far as he's gotten.
Errol Morris
The smarter people I know declined to watch the most recent debate [with Donald Trump].
Errol Morris
I actually wanted to publish [ interview with Donald Trump about Citizen Kane] in the New York Times, but the circumstances under which I did that movie made me vulnerable to a lawsuit and at this point in my career, I don't want to go there. But it's amazing.
Errol Morris
Photographs attract false beliefs the way flypaper attracts flies.
Errol Morris
I've always wondered where explanations end and excuses begin.
Errol Morris
Nothing is so obvious that it's obvious.
