Federico Fellini
A different language is a different vision of life.
Federico Fellini
No critic writing about a film could say more than the film itself, although they do their best to make us think the oppposite.
Federico Fellini
Freedom, especially a woman's freedom, is a conquest to be made, not a gift to be received. It isn't granted. It must be taken.
Federico Fellini
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
Federico Fellini
Going to the cinema is like returning to the womb you sit there, still and meditative in the darkness, waiting for life to appear on the screen.
Federico Fellini
You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.
Federico Fellini
The greatest danger for artists is total freedom.
Federico Fellini
A creator always needs excuses.
Federico Fellini
Peellaert's comic strips were the literature of intelligence, imagination and romanticism.
Federico Fellini
Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
Federico Fellini
Everyone knows that time is Death, that Death hides in clocks. Imposing another time powered by the Clock of the Imagination, however, can refuse his law. Here, freed of the Grim Reaper's scythe, we learn that pain is knowledge and all knowledge pain.
Federico Fellini
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
I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from the other.
Federico Fellini
Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It's a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.
Federico Fellini
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
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
Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
