New QuotesWhatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them. I choose to love you in silence… For in silence I find no rejection, I choose to love you in loneliness… For in loneliness no one owns you but me, I choose to adore you from a distance… For distance will shield me from pain, I choose to kiss you in the wind… For the wind is gentler than my lips, I choose to hold you in my dreams… For in my dreams, you have no end. For I have had them as if I should one day lose them; I have lost them as if I have them still. Love doesn't have to be received. It can just be. Reservation Dogs I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane. I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once. The Fault in Our Stars With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion. Morality is doing what is right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right. If I could stop a person from raping a child, I would. That’s the difference between me and your God. Grief is a most peculiar thing; we’re so helpless in the face of it. It’s like a window that will simply open of its own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it. Memoirs of a Geisha You playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won't feel insecure around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same. To me, heaven is where I put a person who I love dearly, who is kind, who is generous, who made a difference in my life and other people's lives. I keep them in a spot in my head, like that front row that you have of all of your friends. And you always have a good feeling when you think of them. Pay what you owe when the time is right, in this lifetime or the next. And if in the next I’m a horse you can pay me in oats. And if I’m a cow, milk me gently. Reservation Dogs This is what life does for you in the end; it arranges a fight you can't win. Happiness is amazing. It's so amazing it doesn't matter if it's yours or not. After Life What is grief if not love persevering? WandaVision How much truth is contained in something can be best determined by making it thoroughly laughable and then watching to see how much joking around it can take. For truth is a matter that can withstand mockery, that is freshened by any ironic gesture directed at it. Whatever cannot withstand satire is false. Critique of Cynical Reason But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one. Oathbringer When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending. We're just here to be memories for our kids. Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future. Interstellar previous « 1 » next |
