Some people will say that they no longer believe in anything, but there are always people who say that it is because you have not met the right person.

She He admired his erudition, and he admired her true beauty.

She finally left him and he sat weak in the empty room, refusing to eat, refusing to get out of the room into a world without her. It was a painful separation, he knew that he had lost her, no matter how silent and deep his love for her was, time pushed him further away like a tide, he thought What voice he heard, was it the song he talked about for her, he didn't remember, and he didn't know.

The house was empty, leaving only the tennis ball still rolling on its own track in the storm of time, until Hit the wall, until the moment when life stops abruptly, everything is quiet.

They hugged tightly, time Flocking to them again, what sound did he hear this time? Is it singing? Is it the sound of the waves in life? He wasn't sure.

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.
