Photographers [Oo] I don’t trust those who need to understand things | Stanley Kubrick, 1998

.

“There is far too much focus on understanding–on being understood. The defining characteristics of those things–books, films, paintings, pieces of music–that I consider to be art were not things I understood, but things I felt, and felt very deeply. I was left–happily, I might add–altered and confused and amazed. I felt enthusiastic about what I had seen and what I now faced. I don’t trust those who need to understand things. There is artistry and joy in not knowing.

Feel more. That was what I meant to say.”
