There is no beauty without transience, just as there would be no starlight, without the pitch blackness of the night.

"We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real ?"

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."

- Andrei Tarkovsky, an excerpt from the documentary Andrei Tarkovsky - A Poet in Cinema (1983), dir. by Donatella Baglivo
