PIER PAOLO PASOLINI ON THE AUTHOR

Posted:  July 27th, 2010 - THE DAILIES

“An author, when he’s disinterested and passionate is always a living protest. As soon as he

opens his mouth, he protests against conformism, against what’s official, against the government,

against the nation. In short against everything, which is accepted by the majority.

Therefore, as soon as he opens his mouth an artist gets committed, because… when he opens

his mouth he is always against the tide.”

Pier Paolo Pasolini
