“In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.”
Abbas Kiarostami“The world is my workshop. It is not my home.”
Abbas Kiarostami“Poetry always runs away from you - it's very difficult to grasp it, and every time you read it, depending on your conditions, you will have a different grasp of it. Whereas with a novel, once you have read it, you have grasped it.”
Abbas Kiarostami“In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.”
Abbas Kiarostami“The calling of art is to extract us from our daily reality, to bring us to a hidden truth that's difficult to access - to a level that's not material but spiritual.”
Abbas Kiarostami“When you look at nature, you see a hidden mystery that gives a special flavor to the photograph.”
