Affirmation Quote by Andrei Tarkovsky

“The artist is always the servant, and is perpetually trying to pay for the gift that has been given to him as if by a miracle. Modern man, however, does not want to make any sacrifice, even though true affirmation of the self can only be expressed in sacrifice.” quote by Andrei Tarkovsky — Download Open image
