why do we live

The love between people is not rational, love is an instinct, there is no reason, logic or reason at all, you can say today and this year that I will never love you again, but maybe in a long time because of mutual eye contact, then This instinct is stimulated again, followed by cheating, divorce, cheating again, divorce again... Under the instinct of love, how can you still care about the immoral, honest and dishonest cosmic problems? So, Woody Allen finally said to the tape recorder "...the people of Manhattan have been making these real, unnecessary neurological problems for themselves, because it keeps them away from the unsolvable, terrible dealing with problems of the universe".

Of course, for Woody Allen, this is too pessimistic, even if life is so chaotic, life has to go on, enough for these things: music, painting, literature, movies.

Manhattan quotes

  • Yale: You know we have to stop seeing each other, don't you.

    Mary Wilke: Oh, yeah. Right. Right. I understand. I could tell by the sound of your voice on the phone. Very authoritative, y'know. Like the pope, or the computer in 2001.

  • Isaac Davis: You know what you are? You're God's answer to Job, y'know? You would have ended all argument between them. I mean, He would have pointed to you and said, y'know, "I do a lot of terrible things, but I can still make one of these." You know? And then Job would have said, "Eh. Yeah, well, you win."
