Is there ever a time for love

Many times we are asking whether love has chosen the right person, but love does not always ask this first, but when Mr. Right meets, can you accept it? Is there a difference between morning and evening for love?

I believe that Cheri's feelings are real, even for such a flamboyant teenager, even such a casual and insincere start. Love is ridiculous, at least the story here is, age becomes a gimmick that's not a gimmick, but I don't doubt that the world is accommodating countless such ridiculous stories. Cheri and nonoon, no one was prepared, but a disproportionate love still came. They depended on each other and missed each other, just like all people who are in love. Is the choice of nonoon right or wrong? Is she too rational and almost cold, or is she in love with Cheri and has no choice to imagine everything for him? In love, can it be considered that late is too late, and it is destined to give in to the mistakes that come early? Are we really so pale and weak in the morning and evening in our lives? Nonoon and Cheri seem to be the choice to give up, probably this is the final choice of most life, because human nature still has considerations, life has choices, and love is usually the ultimate abandonment, for the sake of life... . Is this a paradox? So love is ridiculous, but compared to life, life is especially ridiculous. Sooner or later can not be decided, the choice seems to be doomed.

Chéri quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: He was unable to suppress a sense that he had been able to escape from something. That he was a free man again. A feeling he eventually came to realize was entirely misguided. It was many years before he understood that both of them had been quite unjustly punished. Léa for being born so many years before him, and Chéri for having failed to grasp that Léa was the only woman he would ever be able to love. And once he was settled in his mind that this was the case, he took out his old service revolver, and put a bullet in his brain.

  • Lea de Lonval: You came back here and you found an old woman. Yes, you found an old woman. Don't cry. Why are you crying? I'm so grateful to you. Were you really in love with me? Did you really think I was such a good person? If I had been a truly good person, I'd have made a man of you instead of thinking of nothing but your pleasure and my happiness. I wouldn't have kept you all to myself. Look at me. You're right. The qualities you lack, I expect it is my fault. But 30 years of easy living does make you very vulnerable. So no, I never did talk to you about the future. Forgive me. I loved you as if we were going to die the same day. I carried you in my heart for such a long time. I forgot you were going to have to carry your own burdens. A young wife. Perhaps even a child. And so you're going to suffer. You're going to miss me. And you're going to have to try to find enough wisdom and tolerance not to cause suffering to others. The thing is, now you've had a taste of youth. It's never satisfying, but you'll always want to go back for more. You must go. I love you. But it's too late. So get dressed. And go away now.
