Meandering freely . . .

Today is the birthday of Federico Fellini (January 20, 1920 – October 31, 1993), film director and writer.

"A different language is a different vision of life."
- Federico Fellini

"I discovered that what's really important for a creator isn't what we vaguely define as inspiration or even what it is we want to say, recall, regret, or rebel against. No, what's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters."
- Federico Fellini

"Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real."
- Federico Fellini

"All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography."
- Federico Fellini

"Experience is what you get while looking for something else."
- Federico Fellini

"You exist only in what you do."
- Federico Fellini
