More From G. I. Gurdjieff

You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already. it is but a small matter whether you read with anyone or not. i did not read with anyone. get the books, and read and study them till you understand them in their principal features; and that is the main thing. it is of no consequence to be in a large town while you are reading. i read at new salem, which never had three hundred people living in it. the books, and your capacity for understanding them, are just the same in all places.
Book Reading People
There is an enormous redundancy in every well-written book. with a well-written book i only read the right-hand page and allow my mind to work on the left-hand page. with a poorly written book i read every word.
Book Hands Mind
I suppose that it was inevitable that my word-base broadened. i could now for the first time pick up a book and read and now begin to understand what the book was saying. anyone who has read a great deal can imagine the new world that opened. let me tell you something: from then until i left that prison, in every free moment i had, if i was not reading in the library, i was reading in my bunk. you couldn’t have gotten me out of my books with a wedge...months passed without my even thinking about being imprisoned. in fact, up to then, i never had been so truly free in my life.

Book Wonderland London
Of all my films, people wrote to me most about this one... ...i had wanted to make the idiot long before rashomon. since i was little i've liked russian literature, but i find that i like dostoevsky the best and had long thought that this book would make a wonderful film. he is still my favourite author, and he is the one - i still think - who writes most honestly about human existence.
Book Writing Thinking
It's hard no to work, so i find a way to put myself back to work. and i think it's important, in between projects, for me to sit down with who i've just become and allow her to continue to evolve and find a home inside me before i go and become somebody else. but i think i also need to learn to relax and not prepare too much, just enjoy life. i notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but i spend so much time on their lives, i don't have much of a personal life of my own. i have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me.
