Jean-Luc Godard

Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.

All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl.

— Jean-Luc Godard

The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't.

— Jean-Luc Godard

The truth is that there is no terror untempered by some great moral idea.

— Jean-Luc Godard

To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body -- both go together, they can't be separated.

— Jean-Luc Godard
