Why "afternoon" and not other times of the day

This is a serious proposition. Our people all know that the wind, the clear moon, and the bright moon are the time when the two are in love with each other, and Hou's title is "afternoon", which is indeed beautiful.

In the noon, when the flames are high in the day, it means that the strength of love and the tenacity of marriage have reached their peaks, and the principle of success in the month will inevitably lead to losses. The period of laziness and slack is a "good opportunity" that others can take advantage of! Master Hou's wisdom is to grasp the most difficult part of people's inner illusions, the most secret places of people's desires, and the most treacherous places of people's curiosity and turmoil. In a nutshell, all fabrications begin in the afternoon, and if night falls, everything will be done! Therefore, those who are not married can't experience it and cut it deeply, and those who are not bred can't come to the scene and fully understand it! Alas! In this world, teachers and students who are disorganized, who are officials greedy for sex, and who are empathetic and estranged, all indulge in the confusion of "afternoon", indulge in "afternoon" fascination, and indulge in "afternoon" delusion! It is said that Rohmer is a master of observing human nature, which can be seen in "Love in the Afternoon".

Love in the Afternoon quotes

  • Frédéric: I think some element of mystery is essential for people who live together.

  • Chloé: You make me laugh. You really do. Why this insistence on proving you love your wife? If you don't love her, or less than at first, it's not a catastrophe. It's normal. It's normal not to want to always be tied to the same person. Marriage makes less and less sense these days.

    Frédéric: I don't love her because she's my wife. I love her because of who she is. I'd love her even if we weren't married.

    Chloé: No. You love her - if you really do - because you're supposed to. I couldn't stand being loved like that. But then I'm an exception. I won't accept compromises.
