Hope is not a form of guarantee; it’s a form of energy, and very frequently that energy is strongest in circumstances that are very dark. (John Berger Quotes)
A boycott is directed against a policy and the institutions which support that policy either actively or tacitly. Its aim is not to reject, but to bring about change. (John Berger Quotes)
I think I’m very permeable. I can very easily, without even choosing to do it, enter the life of another. Or, to put it in a more modest and accurate way, for that life to enter mine. (John Berger Quotes)
Globalisation means many things. At one level, it talks of trade, which since the 16th century has exchanged goods and now, increasingly, ideas and information across the globe. But globalisation is also a view of the world - it is an opinion about man and why men are on the world. (John Berger Quotes)
The Cro-Magnons lived with fear and amazement in a culture of Arrival, facing many mysteries. Their culture lasted for some 20,000 years. (John Berger Quotes)
What do drawings mean to me? I really don’t know. The activity absorbs me. I forget everything else in a way that I don’t think happens with any other activity. (John Berger Quotes)
The true content of a photograph is invisible, for it derives from a play, not with form, but with time. (John Berger Quotes)
I wanted to write about looking at the world, so it’s more about helping people, or persuading people, to see what is around us; both the marvellous and the terrible. (John Berger Quotes)
Today the discredit of words is very great (John Berger Quotes)
Photography, because it stops the flow of life, is always flirting with death (John Berger Quotes)
Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion (John Berger Quotes)
Never again shall a single story be told as though it were the only one (John Berger Quotes)
Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak (John Berger Quotes)
It can happen that a book, unlike its authors, grows younger as the years pass (John Berger Quotes)
Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at (John Berger Quotes)
At times failure is very necessary for the artist. It reminds him that failure is not the ultimate disaster. And this reminder liberates him from the mean fussing of perfectionism (John Berger Quotes)
I use charcoal a lot. Partly because it has such a fantastic range but also because it is very easy to erase. For me, drawing is a lot to do with taking out, with returning to the white of the paper (John Berger Quotes)
What is saved in the cinema when it achieves art is a spontaneous continuity with all mankind (John Berger Quotes)
Every authentic poem contributes to the labour of poetry... to bring together what life has separated or violence has torn apart (John Berger Quotes)
We can become anything. That is why injustice is impossible here. There may be the accident of birth, there is no accident of death. Nothing forces us to remain what we were (John Berger Quotes)
A cigarette is a breathing space. It makes a parenthesis. The time of a cigarette is a parenthesis, and if it is shared, you are both in that parenthesis. Its like a proscenium arch for a dialogue (John Berger Quotes)
Without ethics, man has no future. This is to say, mankind without them cannot be itself. Ethics determine choices and actions and suggest difficult priorities (John Berger Quotes)
Propaganda requires a permanent network of communication so that it can systematically stifle reflection with emotive or utopian slogans. Its pace is usually fast (John Berger Quotes)
It is comparatively easy to achieve a certain unity in a picture by allowing one colour to dominate, or by muting all the colours. Matisse did neither. He clashed his colours together like cymbals and the effect was like a lullaby (John Berger Quotes)
Every painted image of something is also about the absence of the real thing. All painting is about the presence of absence (John Berger Quotes)
Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural (John Berger Quotes)
Ours is the century of enforced travel of disappearances. The century of people helplessly seeing others, who were close to them, disappear over the horizon (John Berger Quotes)
The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open (John Berger Quotes)
What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time (John Berger Quotes)
A peasant becomes fond of his pig and is glad to salt away its pork. What is significant, and is so difficult for the urban stranger to understand, is that the two statements are connected by an and not by a but (John Berger Quotes)
