“I have never in my life met anyone more spiritual than she; with her wisdom, her kindness, her deep understanding. And at the same time she has a meekness and a tolerance that clutch your heart to the point where it hurts. When I look at her I often feel ashamed of myself. All is vanity of vanities and weariness of spirit.”
— Andrei Tarkovsky, from a diary entry featured in Time Within Time; The Diaries (1970 - 1986)
“Don’t wait around for others to experience life with you. Take the lead, go out, and get the most out of life. Eventually, you’ll have more company than you can handle.”
— (via purplebuddhaquotes)
In the life of the painter, death may perhaps not be the most difficult thing. For myself I declare I don’t know anything about it, but the sigh of the stars always makes me dream. Why, I say to myself, should the spots of light in the firmament be inaccessible to us. Maybe we can take death to go to a star, and to die peacefully of old age would be to go there on foot. For the moment I’m going to go to bed because it’s late, and I wish you good-night and good luck with a handshake.
Loving Vincent (2017) dir. Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman
