More Quotes from Luis Bunuel:
Poor workers First they're cuckolded, and, as if that weren't enough, then they're beaten Work's a curse, Saturno. I say to hell with the work you have to do to earn a living That kind of work does us no honor all it does is fill up the bellies of the pigs who exploit us. But the work you do because you like to do it, because you've heard the call, you've got a vocation --that's ennobling We should all be able to work like that. Look at me, Saturno --I don't work. And I don't care if they hang me, I won't work Yet I'm alive I may live badly, but at least I don't have to work to do itLuis Buñuel
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
Luis Buñuel
A paranoiac like a poet, is born, not made.
Luis Bunuel
If alcohol is queen, then tobacco is her consort. It's a fond companion for all occasions, a loyal friend through fair weather and foul. People smoke to celebrate a happy moment, or to hide a bitter regret. Whether you're alone or with friends, it's a joy for all the senses. What lovelier sight is there than that double row of white cigarettes, lined up like soldiers on parade and wrapped in silver paper I love to touch the pack in my pocket, open it, savor the feel of the cigarette between my fingers, the paper on my lips, the taste of tobacco on my tongue. I love to watch the flame spurt up, love to watch it come closer and closer, filling me with its warmth.
Luis Buñuel
Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.
Luis Bunuel
I'm still an atheist, thank God.
Luis Buñuel

So I'm sorry, I'm going to continue to talk to the people, because I do believe that if they get to know you and what you are as a human being, they can more appreciate what you are as a performer.
