Sergio Leone Quotes

I'm trying to get more into other things, where reality is nothing but each individual's way of thinking.

The only thing that made me, or any of us, special was that no one in the whole of history would ever see the universe exactly the same way any other of us saw it.

People make their own reality. That was what Praxis had taught him years ago. A hundred people can witness the exact same event, and give two hundred and three different accountings of it.

Everyone's entitled to their own experience.

I wonder whether my bleak-o-meter is set differently from other people's.

We see the world through the lens of all our experiences; that is a fundamental part of the human condition.

To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.

You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life.

All experience is subjective.

We are artists. We are all subjective people; we have a point of view. It doesn't mean we are right.

The prism through which you experience life is so unique. There is no objective experience.

When someone starts talking to me about the truth, what I hear is what they're telling me about themselves.

I never believe I'm presenting objective reality; I also don't want to delude people into thinking that my subject is talking directly to them.

It's easier to be skeptical because it's easier to understand that every human lives in their own world.

The individual point of view is the only point of view from which one is able to look at the world in its truth.

Life, in her experience, had a kind of velvet luster. You looked at yourself from one perspective and all you saw was weirdness. Move your head a little bit, though, and everything looked reasonably normal.

I think anything you listen to is going to be different.

You believe that you live in the world, where in fact the world lives within you.

The reality is in this head. Mine. I'm the projector at the planetarium, all the closed little universe visible in the circle of that stage is coming out of my mouth, eyes, and sometimes other orifices also.

Imagine a set of people all living in the same building. Half of them think it is a hotel, the other half think it is a prison. Those who think it a hotel might regard it as quite intolerable, and those who thought it was a prison might decide that it was really surprisingly comfortable. So that what seems the ugly doctrine is one that comforts and strengthens you in the end. The people who try to hold an optimistic view of this world would become pessimists: the people who hold a pretty stern view of it become optimistic.

There is no single face in nature, because every eye that looks upon it, sees it from its own angle. So every man's spice-box seasons his own food.

Yes, I am letting my own experience color my answer, which is what experience is for.

I'm coming 'round to the view that there's only a personal view of the world.

Our personal dispositions are as windowpanes through which we see the world either as rosy or dull. The way we color the glasses we wear is the way the world seems to us.

I'm fascinated by the mysterious element that runs through our lives. Everyone is looking out of the world through their emotion and history. Nobody has an absolute reality.
