really?

Or it's just not enough time.

Mary uses Issac as a spare tire, and Issac uses Tracy as a spare tire... There is no real

love for EGO in Woody Allen's film

, and the full screen of mockery

likes his unadorned expression Men, women, and literary youth are all stripped down. In

pessimism , the true wisdom and courage to face life frankly

come and go, and

only the beautiful picture will last forever.

To quote a few of my favorite lines:
The brain is the most overrated organ.

Manhattan quotes

  • Emily: Well, I don't think 17 is too young. Beside that, she's a bright girl.

    Yale: You'll get no argument from me. I think she's terrific. He could do a lot worse. He has done a lot worse. I just think he's wasting his life. You know, he writes that crap for television.

  • Yale: What about Isaac? We can't abandon him, you know? He can't function anywhere other than New York, you know that. Very Freudian.
