# 에이젠의 마지막 글 ## Quotes > For me art has never represented “art for art’s sake”. It has never been a project to create something dissimilar to the existing world – “my own world”. Just as well I have never tried to “reect” the existing world. My aim has always been – using art’s means – impact on thoughts and feelings, impact on psyche and through this impact mould the viewer’s consciousness in a desirable, needed, selected direction. ^[Eisenstein, _Method_ (Moscow: Museum of Cinema, Eisenstein-Centre, 2002), p. 46. (This and other Eisenstein texts are translated by the author.)]
