life experience

Humans have so many problems to solve. Money is only a very small part of it. People have to figure out themselves. your own spirit, your own heart. The problems you have to face at every age. Reconcile with yourself. With his mother, his son. what you want to pursue. Skateboard, make ceramic bowls, fix cars, listen to punk or rock. Not loving your mother, sick, cancer. Constantly changing girlfriends, getting married, getting divorced, getting married again, having children. In short, life is more like a process of experience. The body is just a vehicle on which the soul is attached to experience the process of life. Your favorite shoes, your underwear, the books you read, pictures of your mom, your birth control pills, that's what makes you. You keep looking for people you can love, you hope to find security in them, and finally you realize that you need to live with your insecurities and fears. This is the meaning of life. Embarrassment, poverty, love, and pain are all experiences. It's like there is a God's perspective, watching you silently, but the current feeling is so strong that you are immersed in it, and you don't realize that this is only part of the life experience.

    No matter what stage you are in, you can only understand the stage you are in.

    Obviously the autobiography has a little cleverness but the whole is too art fag...

20th Century Women quotes

  • Dorothea: That was my husband's Ford Galaxy. We drove Jamie home from the hospital in that car.

    Jamie: My mom was forty when she had me. Everyone told her she was too old to be a mother.

    Dorothea: I put my hand through the little window, and he'd squeeze my finger, and I'd tell him life was very big... and unknown.

    Jamie: And she told me that there were animals, and sky, and cities...

    Dorothea: ...music, movies. He'd fall in love, have his own children, have passions, have meaning, have his mom and dad.

    Jamie: When they got divorced, my father moved back east and left the car with us. He calls on birthdays and Christmas. Last time I felt close to him was on my birthday in 1974. He bought me mirrored sunglasses. I saw the president fall down the stairs and I threw up on the carpet.

    Dorothea: Since then it's just been us.

  • Dorothea: Actually, it was, it was built in 1905, and the same family had it forever, but they lost all their money during the war, and then there was a fire and... You should've been here for that. Anyway, so, it was just a mess. They let it fall apart. Then a bohemian inherited it in the '60s, then a bunch of free spirits moved in, and they lost it to the bank.
