Quote by Abbas Kiarostami
Poetry always runs away from you - its very difficult to grasp it,

Poetry always runs away from you – its 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

Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie. If you happen to like my films, its because my films provide a bed for you on which you can find your creativity. The Hollywood movies do not provide that for you. – Abbas Kiarostami
