Rainer Werner Fassbinder's quotes

• Love is the best, most insidious, most effective instrument of social repression.
• Everyone must decide for himself whether it is better to have a brief but more intensely felt existence or to live a long and ordinary life.
• I let the audience feel and think.
• I'm against caricatures, I'm against parodies;if you say that this scene has the effect of a parody, then I have to take your word for it, but then I'm ashamed of myself and I apologize.
• The American method of making films left the audience with emotions and nothing else; I want to give the spectator the emotions along with the possibility of reflecting on and analyzing what he is feeling.
• What I would like is to make Hollywood movies, that is, movies as wonderful and universal, but at the same time not as hypocritical, as Hollywood.
• I hope to build a house with my films. Some of them are the cellar, some are the walls, and some are the windows. But I hope in time there will be a house.
• In order to understand the present, what has and will become of a country, one has to understand its whole history or to have assimilated it.
