    "Sometimes thoughts are closer to the truth and closer to reality than actions."

    I want to end this. "who am I?

    After watching the movie, it is not difficult to see that "I" is Lucy, Jake, and the lonely old man - the school cleaner, and more importantly, each of us.

  • Young Woman: Coming home is terrible whether the dogs lick your face or not; whether you have a wife or just a wife-shaped loneliness waiting for you. Coming home is terribly lonely, so that you think of the oppressive barometric pressure back where you have just come from with fondness, because everything's worse once you're home.

Your vision blears. You carry your weather with you, the big blue whale, a skeletal darkness. You come back with X-ray vision. Your eyes have become a hunger. You come home with your mutant gifts to a house of bone. Everything you see now, all of it: bone.
