Hayao Miyazaki Quotes

“In the past, humans hesitated when they took lives, even non-human lives. But society had changed, and they no longer felt that way. As humans grew stronger, I think that we became quite arrogant, losing the sorrow of 'we have no other choice.' I think that in the essence of human civilization, we have the desire to become rich without limit, by taking the lives of other creatures.”
― Hayao Miyazaki

“Today, all of humanity's dreams are cursed somehow. Beautiful yet cursed dreams.”
― Hayao Miyazaki

“Of course I believe that other world exists. If they didn't life wouldn't be interesting. It's like love: you can't see but it exists-simply because you believe it. It's just a matter of believing.”
― Hayao Miyazaki

“Out of the ugliness of the ironworks lepers will eat, children will be born, their parents will grow old.”
― Helen McCarthy, Hayao Miyazaki: Master of Japanese Animation

“Normalizar el papel de la mujer en cualquier ámbito y exactamente a la misma altura que el hombre.”
― Anna Junyent, Mujeres de Ghibli

“The film critic Roger Ebert once wrote: “I told Miyazaki I love the ‘gratuitous motion’ in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit there for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are. ‘We have a word for that in Japanese,’ [Miyazaki] said. ‘It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”
― Jessica Niebel, Hayao Miyazaki
