Vittoria: Oh my beloved all creation overflows with passion, and like a golden comet in the sky, from my mouth bursts forth this cry: I love you.

Vittoria: I want to make love to you now.

Attilio de Giovanni: That's the best line I ever heard in my life.
Attilio de Giovanni: I told myself: "There must be people whose job it is to use the right words, put things in a way... who when their heart beats, can get other people's hearts to beat."

Attilio de Giovanni: That day I decided to become a poet.
Fuad: He was a real poet. He was young, fell in love with a woman and married her. A few years later, while he was fighting in some war, he heard his wife had contracted smallpox and had been disfigured. So Al-Giumeili said, "My eyes hurt." And then: "I've gone blind." When his wife died, 12 years later, he opened his eyes again.

Attilio de Giovanni: So as not to upset his wife, he pretended to be blind for 12 years?

Fuad: Every person is a chasm. It makes you dizzy to look down.
Attilio de Giovanni: If she dies, they can close this whole show of a world... they can cart it off, unscrew the stars, roll up the sky and put it on a truck, they can turn off this sunlight I love so much. Do you know why I love it so much? Because I love her when the sun shines on her. They can take everything away, these carpets, columns, houses, sand, wind, frogs, ripe watermelons, hail, seven in the evening, May, June, July, basil, bees, the sea, courgettes...
Attilio de Giovanni: [in broken English] Tell him to stay calm! He's very nervous... he's going to shoot me; he's shaking! Stay calm! Molto calmo! Stay calm, I am having heart attack!

[breathes heavy]
Attilio de Giovanni: Allah, the only prayer I know is the Lord's Prayer in Italian. Do you understand Italian? It's a beautiful prayer.
Fuad: You know why there are wars? Because the world started without men and without men it'll finish.

This was the first Italian movie I ever watched, it was in Italian class in college. Most of the previous ones thought it was absurd and exaggerated, and I didn't like Bernini. At the end of the film, I suddenly realized that I wanted to cry. He is a person who is loyal to love. Later, I watched "Life is Beautiful". The most beautiful Italian film in my heart.

On April 21, 2013, on the side of the small train in Beijing, the weekend before I went to LA, I slept for half a day, and spent half a day visiting the neighborhood, accompany the cat, and push all the appointments. When people reach their thirties, they need to know what is the most important. The film was picked by Mr. Cat, and he knew it was my love in the first shot, it really is. It's a really good movie, except that the main character is too stubborn. This is true love.
