In the heart of the city I have heard the wild geese crying on the pathways that lie over a vanished forest.

If I built the cities near the water the plague always killed all the people and if I built the cities near the mountains the volcanoes always killed all the people and if I built the cities on the plain the other tribe always came over and killed all the people and I got sick of the whole thing.

Syntax, like government, can only be obeyed. It is
therefore of no use except when you
have something particular to command
such as: Go buy me a bunch of carrots.

A true artistic image gives the beholder a simultaneous experi-ence of the most complex, contradictory, sometimes even mutually exclusive feelings. It is not possible to catch the moment at which the positive goes over into its opposite, or when the negative starts moving toward the positive. Infinity is germane, inherent in the very structure of the image.

- Andrei Tarkovsky

Eventually everything will be happening
at once: nothing behind a screen unless a screen happens to be
in front. It will increasingly be a thump instead of
a bang. The thing to do is to gather up one's
ability to respond and go on at varying speeds.
Following, of course, the general outlines of the
Christian life. I myself tend to think of catching trains
more than Christianity.

Insisting on stimulating activity, though

Without a multiple loudspeaker system, all
becomes music and submissiveness. But,
fortunately, the piano is there and one can
always prepare it in a different way.
Otherwise it would become an instrument.
It is like, as
Artaud said, a disease. No avoiding. And
not having an idea about it.

The thing
to do is to keep the head alert but
empty. Things come to pass, arising
and disappearing. There can then be no
consideration of error. Things are always going
wrong.

Right there. They're about a half hour long each, so I've had them along for the morning and afternoon train ride. So far (through only a couple episodes), he's talked about a lot of poetry and music, and played quite a bit of it, too.

The pdf of his lectures (which can also be found on UBU) on Melies, Dreyer, Griffith, and Eisenstein is pretty great, too.

Let's record the dying century and the birth of another man… Let's surround the earth with our cameras, hand in hand, lovingly; our camera is our third eye that will lead us out and through … Nothing should be left unshown or unseen, dirty or clean: Let us see and go further, out of the swamps and into the sun.

The moon is a peephole. The earth is the show. God is an old man on the other side of the wall, gazing at his creation gone mad.

Whether intentional or not, this system is one of ideological exclusivity.
