old man with literary temperament

Kameron 2022-03-30 09:01:11

The professors of the literature department are all such literary men.
Food and clothing are worry-free, as well as identity, status, and admirers. There are two brushes for archaeology, film, diet, art, and writing.
Life seems to be in heaven and earth, but in fact, when you open your eyes, you really live by the lake.
Of course, such men are very attractive, and even they are better-looking than the male protagonist. . .
Talking to them has to make an appointment and register, but after entering, I gossip, and when I walk to the door, I see 10 people waiting, everyone's eyes are pure and innocent. Then have fun.

I watched the movie this summer and didn't feel it at the time. now think of it. Not without reason. They are like overripe, cracked watermelons, mouth-watering. . .

But such men are often very self-confident and self-confident. A young woman is not enough, a mature woman is not enough, a marriage is not enough, a lover is not enough.
So, the men I see every day who are actually a little snobbish when you think about it, are mostly single. There is also a man who became a tenured professor in his thirties, and the woman he once married married someone else with his child.

The movie is a little softer.

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.
