"My mom used to say that the time never comes, so the time will always come, Robert." "God bless her, as your mom said!" "Actually, I enjoy this age, and I like the feeling that I don't have to prove anything to anyone. It feels so good to come on stage and sit down and play." "We need to fight this shrinkage, we need to move more so we can control Parkinson's disease, not let it control us. So, we need to be active." "Yesterday What happened between us last night was real, Robert, you understand? And you can't deny the feelings, you gotta enjoy life and feel it." "He added color and texture and rhythm to the music, and he always Intensifies your playing, sets you up, but never overwhelms you." "Many quartets have good first violinists, but the quality of the second violinist is the key to a good quartet. Your father is great! "It's fascinating to see the past, but life has its stumbling blocks. I can't believe it's just because of one extremely sad night."

"It's the only way to find the truth. When great composers want to convey their truest thoughts and feelings, to tap into their souls, they always use the quartet, always. If they're brave enough." "Congratulations You, sir, you just took a good violin from a musician." "People want old people to die, they don't really mourn for old people, old people are special, when people look at old people indifferently, they feel inside Will think about when he will die, but only old people know when the elderly die."

"Casals always emphasizes the good side of things, and has always enjoyed it. He likes to encourage, and as for the rest, worry about the idiots! In Spanish, the nitpickers, I can Treat it with gratitude, so you have to. Even for just one festival, one moment." "Wow! Pablo Casals, a real winner!"

    Twenty years have been close to each other, and they have a tacit understanding on the stage, but each has a story that can't be hidden, a pain that can't be removed, and a knot that can't be solved. Life is always messy; music has its own order and discipline that override everything. Under this supreme discipline, before the giant ship Titanic overturns, it is possible to ignore the approaching death and play another song with dignity. Also under this discipline, all needs give way and are suspended, and tangle and chaos can be smoothed out in an instant.

    I can actually see such a wonderful thing as the axis jumping within a 30° angle... In addition, the story is too bloody, and the emotional and plot twists are too sudden, right? The more you look, the more rotten~

A Late Quartet quotes

  • Juliette Gelbart: Why are you so angry with me? What did I do to cause you to talk to me in this way? I mean, did we just spoil you too much? Is that what it is?

    Alexandra Gelbart: Do you think I had fun? Do you think it was fun growing up with two roving quartet players as parents? Who were gone 7 months of the year and I was always taking a back seat to a violin and a viola? Always. Is that fun? Does that seem fun to you?

    Juliette Gelbart: You have always been our first priority.

    Alexandra Gelbart: That is bullshit! That's bullshit, that's just words. That's nothing.

  • [first lines]

    Peter Mitchell: Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable. Or say that the end precedes the beginning, and the end and the beginning were always there before the beginning and after the end. And all is always now.
