Luis Buñuel's quotes

[asked why he made movies] To show that this is not the best of all possible worlds.
I've always found insects exciting.
Nothing would disgust me more morally than winning an Oscar.
Thank God, I'm an atheist.
Sex without religion is like cooking an egg without salt. Sin gives more chances to desire.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
If someone were to prove to me right this minute that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it wouldn't change a single aspect of my behavior.
"God and Country" are an unbeatable team; they break all records for oppression and bloodshed.
Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other 22 in dreams.
Tobacco and alcohol, delicious fathers of abiding friendships and fertile reveries.
A paranoiac, like a poet, is born, not made.
Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.
If you were to ask me if I'd ever had the bad luck to miss my daily cocktail, I'd have to say that I doubt it; where certain things are concerned, I plan ahead.
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Frankly, despite my horror of the press, I'd love to rise from the grave every ten years or so and go buy a few newspapers.
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese.
J'aime la solitude, Ã condition qu'un ami vienne m'en parler de temps en temps. (I like solitude, as long as someone drops by to chat about it from time to time.)
A Clockwork Orange (1971) is my current favorite. I was very predisposed against the film. After seeing it, I realize it is the only movie about what the modern world really means.
A writer of a painter cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of nonconformity alive.
I've always felt a secret but constant link between the sexual act and death . . . :Lately my own sexual desire has waned and finally disappeared, even in dreams, and I'm delighted.
Hate to leave while there's so much going on. It's like quitting in the middle of a serial.
