“I felt aimless, but it felt fine.”

—  Why the lucky stiff

This is not what I wanted to feel though. I wanted to feel a great absence, a longing, a distance that would finally inspire.

“I liked Truffaut a lot, I've felt a lot of admiration for his way to address the audience, and his storytelling…. La nuit américaine is adorable, and another film I like to see is L'enfant sauvage, with its fine humanism.”

Ingmar Bergman (1918–2007) Swedish filmmaker

On the works of filmmaker Francois Truffaut
Variant translation: I liked Truffaut enormously, I admired him. His way of relating with an audience, of telling a story, is both fascinating and tremendously appealing. It's not my style of storytelling, but it works wonderfully well in relation to the film medium.

“Oh child that didst despise thy life so much
When it seemed only thine to keep or lose,
How the fine ear felt fall the first low word
"Value life, and preserve life for My sake!"”

The Ring and the Book (1868-69)

“I had long admired the Chief Justice Sir Timoci Tuivaga for his many fine personal qualities and his courageous commitment to principles after the 1987 coups. To write adversely of his conduct after the events of May 19, 2000 was a painful experience, but a task I felt I could not evade.”
