“ If there is anything worthwhile doing for the sake of culture, then it is touching on subject matters and situations which link people, and not those that divide people. There are too many things in the world that divide people…religion, politics, history, and nationalism. If culture is capable of anything, then it is finding that which unites us all…It doesn’t matter who you are or who I am, if your tooth aches or mine, it’s still the same pain. Feelings are what link people together. “
—Krzysztof Kieślowski
