The artist has a duty to be calm. He has no right to show his emotion, his involvement, to go pouring it all out at the audience. Any excitement over a subject must be sublimated into an Olympian calm of form. That is the only way in which an artist can tell of the things that excite him. - Andrei Tarkovsky
No-one will be able to make us believe that man is a sublimated animal once we can show that within him there is a repressed angel. - Viktor E. Frankl
