Our duty as storytellers is to bring people to the station. There each person will choose his or her own train...But we must at least take them to the station...to a point of departure.
Federico Fellini
It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.
Federico Fellini
A creator always needs excuses.
Federico Fellini
Our minds can shape the way a thing will be because we act according to our expectations.

I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.
Federico Fellini
Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.
Federico Fellini
Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.
Federico Fellini
God may not play dice but he enjoys a good round of Trivial Pursuit every now and again.
Federico Fellini
You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.
Federico Fellini
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini
According to the doctors, I'm only suffering from a light form of premature baldness.
Federico Fellini
All art is autobiographical.
Federico Fellini
Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
Federico Fellini
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
