Quote by Jean-Luc Godard

Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.

Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times

Summary

This quote by Jean-Luc Godard highlights the idea that both photography and cinema have the ability to capture and depict truth. Photography freezes a single moment in time, capturing a genuine representation of reality. On the other hand, cinema captures this truth through the rapid succession of individual images, creating the illusion of motion and bringing the truth to life. The quote suggests that photography is a single truth while cinema presents truth continuously and dynamically, as it plays out frame by frame.

Fatigue dulls the pain, but awakes enticing thoughts of death. So! that is the way in which you are tempted to overcome your loneliness -- by making the ultimate escape from life. -- No! It may be that death is to be your ultimate gift to life: it must not be an act of treachery against it.
