How did he know that?

These "film of tomorrow" quotes are really hitting me these days. I've had these tucked away for the past year and a half. I liked the way they sounded instantly, but they didn't make sense until now. Truffaut (much like Fellini) was so open-hearted and uncynical - certainly a font of his wisdom. If this pursuit is not an act of love; what is it? It's along the lines of the spiritual life not being a theory but a life we must lead. There's no intellectualizing it. We can't think ourselves into right action. We act our way into right thinking. We must walk the walk. And if we're going to walk nolens volens, we might as well keep our hearts open as best we can along the way.

Grazie,
Signore Direttore
