Krzysztof Kieslowski Quotes

The relationship between the films and the individual Commandments [is] a tentative one. The films should be influenced by the individual Commandments to the same degree that the Commandments influence our daily lives Picture Quote #1

Documentaries deal with people who live real, everyday lives. But if these people trusted us and told us the truth about their lives, it could be used against them - which sometimes happened Picture Quote #1

To tell you the truth, in my work, love is always in opposition to the elements. It creates dilemmas. It brings in suffering. We can’t live with it, and we can’t live without it. You’ll rarely find a happy ending in my work Picture Quote #1

I like chance meetings--life is full of them. Everyday, without realizing it, I pass people whom I should know. At this moment, in this cafe, we’re sitting next to strangers. Everyone will get up, leave, and go on their own way. And they’ll never meet again. And if they do, they won’t realize that it’s not for the first time Picture Quote #1

In ten phrases, the ten commandments express the essential of life. And these three words--liberty, equality, and fraternity--do just as much. Millions of people have died for those ideals Picture Quote #1

I have one good characteristic: I’m a pessimist, so I always imagine the worst - always. To me, the future is a black hole Picture Quote #1

Different people in different parts of the world can be thinking the same thoughts at the same time. It’s an obsession of mine: that different people in different places are thinking the same thing but for different reasons. I try to make films which connect people Picture Quote #1

I like chance meetings - life is full of them. Every day, without realising it, I pass people whom I should know Picture Quote #1

If I have a goal, then it is to escape from this literalism. I’ll never achieve it; in the same way that I’ll never manage to describe what really dwells within my character, although I keep on trying Picture Quote #1

For me optimism is two lovers walking into the sunset arm in arm. Or maybe into the sunrise - whatever appeals to you Picture Quote #1

The television industry doesn’t like to see the compexity of the world. It prefers simple reporting, with simple ideas: this is white, that’s black; this is good, that’s bad Picture Quote #1

Do people really want liberty, equality, fraternity? Is it not some manner of speaking? Picture Quote #1

That’s the greatest sin a director can commit; to make a film simply because he wants to make a film Picture Quote #1

I was happy when I got into film school. I’d simply satisfied my ambition to show them that I could get in - nothing else - although I do believe they shouldn’t have accepted me. I was a complete idiot. I can’t understand why they took me. Probably because I’d tried three times Picture Quote #1

I really don’t know anything about music, and it’s no great experience for me. But I do think that music has a purifying element Picture Quote #1

For 6,000 years, these rules have been unquestionably right. And yet we break them every day. People feel that something is wrong in life. There is some kind of atmosphere that makes people now turn to other values. They want to contemplate the basic questions of life, and that is probably the real reason for wanting to tell these stories Picture Quote #1

That’s the greatest sin a director can commit; to make a film simply because he wants to make a film Picture Quote #1

Of course, you could, no doubt, call my going to film school the biggest mistake I ever made Picture Quote #1

The television industry doesn’t like to see the compexity of the world. It prefers simple reporting, with simple ideas: this is white, that’s black; this is good, that’s bad Picture Quote #1
