The satirical life of a cultural man
Edwina 2022-04-23 07:01:42
Most of the young men and women in literature and art are cowardly and good at hypnotizing and intoxicating themselves with the theory that they are wise and open on the surface but are actually empty and evasive. The actual effect is to hide their childish appearance in front of the real world, and feel that their pure rationality can save them. Get out of the chaos, always enlighten others with an attitude of seeing through love and seeing through you, but once the only threat in your life suddenly disappears, you immediately become vulnerable and at a loss. In fact, the person you care about the most is you, and the person who can’t see your inner feelings the most is also you. New York is an all-encompassing metropolis, and it also contains all-encompassing emotions. In the last sentence, you should have some confidence in people. It's quite a slap in the face, as if to say that you are such a mature and wise person, why are you so timid? Care so much about this moment of loss?

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."
