As Long As Movies Are Depressing, Life

The More Real Things Get, The More Like Myths They Become. There Have Always Been Myths, But The Myths Of Earlier Times Were, Im Convinced, Bad Ones, Because They Made People Sick. So Certainly, If We Can Tell Evil Stories To Make People Sick, We Can Also Tell Good Myths That Make Them Well.

Since I'm Not A Second Marx Or Freud Who Can Offer People Alternatives, I Have To Let Them Keep Their Own Wrong Feelings. And I Don't Believe That Melodramatic Feelings Are Laughable-they Should Be Taken Absolutely Seriously.

Everyone Must Decide For Himself Whether It Is Better To Have A Brief But More Intensely Felt Existence Or To Live A Long And Ordinary Life.

Better A Street-sweeper In Mexico Than A Filmmaker In Germany!

As Long As Movies Are Depressing, Life Isn't.
