One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life. – Robert Bresson
Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen. – Robert Bresson
Films can only be made by by-passing the will of those who appear in them, using not what they do, but what they are. – Robert Bresson
You must have this charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needful is charm. – Sarah Bernhardt
