“Learn to love solitude – to be more alone with yourselves. The problem with young people is their carrying out noisy and aggressive actions not to feel lonely – and this is a sad thing – the individual must learn to be on his own as a child – for this doesn’t mean to be alone: it means not get bored with oneself which is a very dangerous symptom, almost a disease.”
Andrei Tarkovsky
what he said.
this quote jumped out at me after coming home from a screening of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s beautiful new film I WISH, in which there are at least 5 little kids after whom i should pretty much remodel my entire worldview. more on that one tomorrow.
