Where can love
come from? Permeated youth, beautiful body, slightly restrained temperament, slightly swaying figure under the light. Beautiful girls are works of art, invisible, you can never see through.
People who yearn for freedom and do not want to be bound by any responsibility, this time is finally a little serious, but at the age of 30 years, she is not sure why she loves, not sure how much she loves and how long she can love.
So, have you ever thought about my future?
She is brave enough. Bravery is the prerogative of the beautiful girl, she can decide to continue to love or to let go.
And he, confined to continuing to love, was afraid of her letting go.
So when she was desperate to move forward, he avoided everything that was important to her, he let her down.
Is there a constant process of trial and error in every relationship? Do you care about me, who cares more, what kind of existence do I have in your heart, and whether there is me in your future. Even if you are always confident, you will become inferior in the face of people who care a lot, and you will be afraid that you are not good enough.
At last she came back to him haggard, like a helpless little animal. With teary eyes, he embraced her. He said, I am here.
Taking the rest of the time as a treasure, once he was poor, she was rich enough to rival the country, but now they are both poor as children, and there is no gap to separate them.
Always thought we had the same tomorrow. In so many parallel time and space, there must be one of us together.

About friendship
David and George.
Share unreservedly, listen attentively, make suggestions, and stand firm by each other’s side, right or wrong.
I've seen a lot of righteousness and righteousness. How good is this indiscriminate friendship.
David lost Consuela and was seriously ill, and George stayed with him like a child, feeding him food.
When he was dying, George put a kiss on David's lips. Is he still awake? Remember what? It doesn't matter anymore.
He owes him too much.
thought of myself. A person has been independent for too long and is used to taking everything by himself. I want to be free, but I can't tell the line between being bound and being cared for. Friends have new friends, I will be afraid that I will not be important from now on, possessiveness is not something unique to love.
Over the years, I dared not expect to be a significant friend to anyone I newly met. You see, your first 20 years are so wonderful, you must have experienced a lot of interesting things and met a lot of interesting people. I've only known you for a short time, and I don't know much about you. How dare I rush into your life? How dare you hope that you can stand out and become very important among so many people who have accompanied you through the long years?
So close friends can't do it, let alone expect love.
In friendship and love, there is neither the ability to love nor the capital to be loved.

Regarding life
, Consuela said that after she became ill, she felt that it was silly to quarrel with her mother and let life pass by in sleep.
When time became limited, what Manager Zeng should have started to become a luxury. Everyone has to say goodbye to someone important or to yourself. The time spent together became a countdown, and I began to regret that I had wasted so much before, and I could no longer spend it recklessly. With loss as a yardstick, everything will be tragically despairing, awaiting the final pending judgment.
The future and the accident, I don't know which one will come first, then how to cherish the time.

Elegy quotes

  • George O'Hearn: Beautiful women are invisible.

    David Kepesh: Invisible? What the hell does that mean? Invisible? They jump out at you. A beautiful woman, she stands out. She stands apart. You can't miss her.

    George O'Hearn: But we never actually see the person. We see the beautiful shell. We're blocked by the beauty barrier. Yeah, we're so dazzled by the outside that we never make it inside.

  • David Kepesh: I think it was Betty Davis who said old age is not for sissies. But it was Tolstoy who said the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age. Old age sneaks up on you, and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself, why can't an old man act his real age? How is it possible for me to still be involved in the carnal aspects of the human comedy? Because, in my head, nothing has changed.
