“We enter our studies, and enjoy a society which we alone can bring together. We raise no jealousy by conversing with one in preference to another; we give no offence to the most illustrious by questioning him as long as we will, and leaving him as abruptly. Diversity of opinion raises no tumult in our presence: each interlocutor stands before us, speaks or is silent, and we adjourn or decide the business at our leisure.” GivingLongTogetherSpeakEnjoyOpinionStudyDiversityRaisesSilentLeavingLeisureQuestioningPreferenceOffenceTumultLeaving Him Book:Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen Source: Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen
“I encourage film students who are interested in cinematography to study sculpture, paintings, music, writing and other arts. Filmmaking consists of all the arts combined. Students are always asking me for advice, and I tell them that they have to be enthusiastic, because it's hard work. The only way to enjoy it is to be totally immersed. If you don't get involved on that level, it could be a very miserable job. I only have one regret about my career: I'm sorry that we are not making silent movies any more. That is the purest art form I can imagine.” IfsWayWritingArtI CanHardJobsFilmFormEnjoyLevelsMusicCareersStudyImagineAdviceStudentsPaintingRegretHard WorkInvolvedPureAskingSilentSorryMiserableCombinationCinemaMovieFilmmakingI'm SorrySculptureGet InvolvedEnthusiasticInvolvementCinematographySilent MoviesMusic WritingFilm Students Author:Vilmos Zsigmond
