Nostalgia – Andrei Tarkovsky, 1983

-What would you like to tell young people?
-I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view.

A message from Andrei Tarkovsky

(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Son cosas imperceptibles. Basta con nombrarlas y su sentido desaparece. Se desvanece y se disuelve como una medusa al sol. Mi consciencia desea la victoria del vegetarianismo en todo el mundo. Mi subconsciencia anhela un pedazo de carne fresca.”

– Andrei Tarkovski

Stalker (1979)

Andrei Tarkovsky (April 4, 1932 – December 29, 1986)

I know only one thing. When i sleep, i know no fear, no, trouble no bliss. Blessing on him who invented sleep. The common coin that purchases all things, the balance that levels shepherd and king, fool and wise man. There is only one bad thing about sound sleep. They say it closely resembles death.”

Andrei Tarkovsky, Solaris (1972)
Based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem
