David Lynch More Quotes by David Lynch More Quotes From David Lynch I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense. David Lynch creativitypeopleart I'm not comfortable with words. I love images ,and I love sounds, and I love feelings. I like the idea of intuition. I think a lot of things in life are understood that way. But you internalize these things; they don't really pop out. Certain things are built inside - little areas of understanding. I feel that I live in darkness and confusion, and I'm trying, like we all are, to make some sort of sense of it.

Feeling correct is a feeling I think everyone knows. David Lynch intellectualfeelingsthinking I learned that just beneath the surface there's another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper.
