I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Art, like life, doesn't always have to make logical sense.
David Lynch's quote highlights the inherent contradiction in how people approach art compared to life. While individuals may understand that life is often irrational and chaotic, they frequently expect art to adhere to conventional logic and reason. This statement encourages a broader acceptance of the unpredictable and sometimes nonsensical nature of both experiences, urging individuals to embrace the ambiguity and subjective interpretation that art provides.

The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.
