record the lines

After watching it twice in a row, I really like the lines of this movie. It is full of philosophical discussions on the ultimate issues of life such as religion, belief, God, death, and fear.

"Is it so difficult to feel the existence of God with the human senses? Why does he hide in vague foreshadowings and unseen miracles? When we lose faith, how do we believe in those believers? When we want to believe in God but Can't do it, what will happen to us? What about those who neither want nor believe? Why can't I kill God in my heart? Why does he live inside me in such a painful and humiliating way? Even if I want to Rip him off, why is he a jerk so I can't get rid of it? I want knowledge, not speculation, but knowledge. I want God to reach out and speak to me. But he It's been silent, and I'm calling out to him in the dark, but sometimes I feel like there's no one there."

"Maybe there was no one there."

"Then life is too scary and meaningless. No one can live in the face of death knowing that everything is empty."

"Most people don't think about death and nothingness."

"But one day their lives will come to an end, staring into the dark abyss. Out of fear, we make an idol and call it God."

"I have spent my whole life wandering and searching in vain, talking to people without meaning, and getting nothing. Most people are like this. And I will use the borrowed time to accomplish a meaningful thing."

"Faith is a heavy burden, like falling in love with someone in the dark, no matter how much you cry, he won't show up. But when I'm sitting here with you couples, it all becomes unreal , suddenly becomes insignificant. I will remember this moment, this silence, this evening, this bowl of wild strawberries and milk, and your faces in the sunset. Mikael sleeping, Jove playing the piano. I will try to remember what we said, and I will hold this memory in my hands like a full bowl of fresh milk. For me, it is a symptom and a great satisfaction."

"Love is the most terrible kind of plague. Only death can be relieved, but you will be healed in the end. In this imperfect world, if everything is imperfect, then love perfectly embodies its not perfect."
