The dead are invisible, but they are not absent.

"A film should challenge the viewer, not just entertain them."

The artist's role is to create order out of chaos, to bring clarity to confusion.

君主对于有才能的贤良之人应当抬举，让他处于尊位，富贵绵长；对于没有能力且无德的人应当废弃，让他贫困低贱，成为受驱使的奴仆。

If your art doesn’t challenge you, it won’t challenge anyone else.

Understanding is inventing.

写作是达到只有语言在行动、'表演'，而不是'我'的那个点。
