And Twin Peaks, the film is the craziest film in the history of cinema. I have no idea what happened, I have no idea what I saw, all I know is that I left the theater floating six feet above the ground.

Twin Peaks

Bring together things that have as yet never been brought together and did not seem predisposed to be so.

Robert Bresson - impatiences
The eye solicited alone makes the ear impatient, the ear solicited alone makes the eye impatient. Use these impatiences. Power of the cinematographer who appeals to the two senses in a governable way. Against the tactics of speed, of noise, set tactics of slowness, of silence.

Hide the ideas, but so that people find them. The most important will be the most hidden.

deform or invent
To create is not to deform or invent persons and things. It is to tie new relationships between persons and things which are, and as they are.
Robert Bresson
The sound of a train whistle conjures up the whole station
The ear is profound, whereas the eye is frivolous, too easily satisfied. The ear is active, imaginative, whereas the eye is passive. When you hear a noise at night, instantly you imagine its cause. The sound of a train whistle conjures up the whole station. The eye can perceive only what is presented to it.
