“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”
David Lynch (American filmmaker)
(January 20, 1946 - )
His early ambition was to become a painter, and, after graduating from high school (1964) in Alexandria, Virginia, he enrolled at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He later (1965–69) studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. There he created his first film, a 60-second animation entitled Six Men Getting Sick (1967), for an experimental painting and sculpture contest. In 1970 Lynch became a student at the American Film Institute’s Center for Advanced Film Studies (later the AFI Conservatory), where he began working on his first feature film, Eraserhead (1977).

“I don't think it was pain that made Vincent Van Gogh great - I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.”
“I hate slick and pretty things. I prefer mistakes and accidents. Which is why I like things like cuts and bruises - they're like little flowers. I've always said that if you have a name for something, like 'cut' or 'bruise,' people will automatically be disturbed by it. But when you see the same thing in nature, and you don't know what it is, it can be very beautiful.”
“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure.They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.”

“Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see, one chance out between two worlds, fire walk with me!”
“I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.”
“We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination.”
