The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions.

We know not through our intellect but through our experience.

We should be sensitive to the thread of silence from which the tissue of speech is woven.

We must therefore rediscover, after the natural world, the social world, not as an object or sum of objects, but as a permanent field or dimension of existence.

To understand is to experience harmony between what we aim at and what is given, between the intention and the performance - and the body is our anchorage in the world.

Because we are in the world, we are condemned to meaning, and we cannot do or say anything without its acquiring a name in history.

The body is our general medium for having a world.

Our own body is in the world as the heart is in the organism: it keeps the visible spectacle constantly alive, it breathes life into it and sustains it inwardly, and with it forms a system.

I live in the facial expressions of the other, as I feel him living in mine.

The body is to be compared, not to a physical object, but rather to a work of art.

The photograph keeps open the instants which the onrush of time closes up forthwith; it destroys the overtaking, the overlapping, the metamorphosis of time.

The branches of the trees looked as if they were holding hands and bowing their heads in prayer.

How womanly it is to ask the unanswerable at the moment impossible.

The biggest challenge for me in every film is believing that what I have to say is important enough to have lots of people collaborate to make a whole movie. I work on this belief every day.

We laugh and laugh. Then cry and cry- Then feebler laugh, Then die.

In a way, putting actors deep into this sort of complicated universe frees them from thinking about who they should be. They just are somebody.

Started using Google+ while I was living in space.

You've got to take the sour with the bitter.

The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls.

Open your heart and mind like the wings of a butterfly. See then how high you CAN fly.
