More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
There are two kinds of homeland: one that is given is like a negative, and one that you have to conquer is like the positive.
Jean-Luc Godard
I've decided that what interests me most is that you can only capture the light at a certain time. But after that, five minutes after that, then it's a different thing. So if you don't have the right aperture, you've missed it. Of course, you can correct it in the lab. But not really.
Jean-Luc Godard
Objects exist and if one pays more attention to them than to people, it is precisely because they exist more than the people. Dead objects are still alive. Living people are often already dead.
Jean-Luc Godard
In the beginning there was not even talking. In movies, there was no need for that. Because it was more evident if there was no talking. Only in sports does there remain this fervor, which can even become violent. There's this desire to see something big.
Jean-Luc Godard
Now at my age I understand how sad it must have been for some directors or actors at the time the talkies began. Because, really, a whole continent disappeared.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start the cinema doesn't.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.
Jean-Luc Godard
I am nowhere. You can call me the man in the middle.
Jean-Luc Godard
Poetry is a game of loser-take-all.
Jean-Luc Godard
Once we know the number one, we believe that we know the number two, because one plus one equals two. We forget that first we must know the meaning of plus.
Jean-Luc Godard
It makes me laugh when you bring two things together which have nothing to do with one another.
Jean-Luc Godard
Reportage is interesting only when placed in a fictional context, but fiction is interesting only if it is validated by a documentary context.
Jean-Luc Godard
Why must one talk? Often one shouldn't talk, but live in silence. The more one talks, the less the words mean. (Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie)
Jean-Luc Godard
When you are out in the land, OK, you have the land but you are alone with it. And sometimes it is too much.
Jean-Luc Godard
One must confront vague ideas with clear images.
Jean-Luc Godard
Give me more. Let's do what has not been done.
Jean-Luc Godard
the movie is not a thing which is taken by the camera the movie is the reality of the movie moving from reality to the camera.
Jean-Luc Godard
Living, it can be sad too.
Jean-Luc Godard
A critic is a soldier that fires on his own men.
Jean-Luc Godard
I'm satisfied to have an ordinary success and an ordinary life and an ordinary income. Later, I don't know.
Jean-Luc Godard
