Quote

I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am most certain of the first time.

Every view, and every object I studied attentively, by viewing them again and again on every side, for I was anxious to make a lasting impression of it on my imagination.

The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.

The older you get, the better you get, because you've seen more. You don't necessarily have to go through a lot, but you have to witness it in order to recreate it.

Seeing comes from the inside, from the heart, from life's experiences.

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

I knew people were going to see me see deteriorate before their eyes.

I try to see my films just once. it's like a dream you've been through when it's been intense, and you just have to go through it once more just to make sure you've had it.

When we shift our perception, our experience changes.

You realize you're alive while you're alive, and you better notice it then, because later, it's hard to see.
