I wasn't kissed, I was the kisser

Are women passive-aggressive? Fox or Hedgehog... This kind of metaphor like abstraction, allen is really an iron INFP

I feel more and more allen's movies, each one has a lot of allen flavor, neuroticism...intellectual ridicule, middle-class lust,

The couple who broke up at the beginning is very similar to the couple in my heart.... Allen's couple is very similar to Annie Hall

And all kinds of literature... No wonder it attracts literary youth, "You lose patience if the student isn't Dostoyevsky or Joyce."

"Tolstoy is a full meal, Turgenev is a fabulous dessert, That's how I characterize him. "

"Dostoyevskv?"

"Dostoyevskv is a full meal with a vitamin pill and extra wheat germ."

What did allen think? With such a second setting, the breakup of a friend has aroused the heart of allen's lover, and the man introduced to his friend is actually the man he likes in his heart, passive-agressive

More and more I feel that Allen is really a genius, the lines are so good, and so prolific, they have to be filmed. Really, art is too talented

The only time Rifkin and his wife experienced a simultaneous orgasm was when the judge handed them their divorce.

You can't teach writing. It's not something you can teach. You can only expose the students to good literature and hope it inspires them. The ones that can write can write, when they come to my class, the others never learn.

Life doesn't imitate art; it imitates bad television

You use sex to express every emotion except love.

Well, Mr. Intellectual, Shakespeare wrote in English, not Japanese.

I got a couple of theories about it. One is that, deep down somewhere, he knows it's not gonna work. So he suffers, and that, that kind of atones for some sort of early-on guilt he's got. Another is like, you know, all of us he grew up on movies and novels where doomed love was romantic.

It's cruel to bring life into this terrible world, you know?

You really trust no one, do you? No wonder people accuse you of cynicism, Jesus!

Can I tell you that they don't want an old man, all right?

I think an old man does better than old woman

Don't defend your sex!

"I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed. I uesd to think that was so romantic."

"To write, to fall in love, and to experience real passion."

"Really? You think passion could actually be sustained?"

"I don't know, Time magazine said you lose your sexual attraction for the other person in four years, I think it was, Time must know, right?"

"I sometimes think of living in Paris. Europe in general. I find that romantic. I like cafe life. I'd like to write, get a flat. Walking the streets is fun in Paris. Listen, let me tell you, Until you've been kissed on a rainy Parisian afternoon... you've never been kissed."

"And were you kissed in the rain?"

"I wasn't kissed, I was the kisser"

    Wonderful balance! The script is like a chessboard. The five protagonists, from the role to the character to the performance, each take their own part, confronting and blending with each other. You never know who will have the last laugh in the emotional game. The lines are also full of punchlines. Favorite Judy Davis' arrogant inferiority complex and fragile ego, she and Diane West are the most brilliant women under Woody's lens.

    "maybe in the end the idea was not to expect too much out of life." and then see "whatever works is the deal"
