Stable Love

It suddenly occurred to me that if a person chooses to become an artist, this may be the epitome of her future life. The same wandering, actively choose a kind of closed and lonely life. This background is why she is afraid of establishing a stable emotional connection with people, and losing is more painful than never. I really don't want to see that she doesn't even dare to touch a child's hand, and the most scheming creature in the world can't melt the window edge in her heart. Maintaining a stable emotional connection is as hard as climbing mountains. If love keeps us waiting forever, I can't even answer whether it can bring you joy and warmth.

Nomadland quotes

  • Swankie: I'm gonna be 75 this year. I think I've lived a pretty good life. I've seen some really neat things kayaking all of those places. And... You know, like a moose in the wild. A moose family on the river in Idaho and big white pelicans landed just six feet over my kayak on a lake in Colorado. Or... Come around a bin, was a cliff and find hundreds and hundreds of swallow nests on the wall of the cliff. And the swallows flying all around and reflecting in the water. So it looks like I'm flying with the swallows and they're under me, and over me, and all around me. And little babies are hatching out, and eggshells are falling out of the nest, landing on the water and floating on the water. These little white shells. That was like, it's just so awesome. I felt like I've done enough. My life was complete. If I died right then, at that moment, would be perfectly fine.

  • Fern: Bo never knew his parents, and we never had kids. If I didn't stay, if I left, it would be like he never existed. I couldn't pack up and move on. He loved Empire. He loved his work so much. He loved being there, everybody loved him. So I stayed. Same town, same house. Just like my dad used to say: "What's remembered, lives." I maybe spent too much of my life just remembering, Bob.
