In any case, in life, we always want sweetness, love, and wholeness. Different ages, we want different things. At any time, we envy others, who always look radiant, charming, happy, and happy. And myself, in comparison, is always worthless.
Bad journalist job, irresponsible father, unknown girlfriend, self-serving photographer friend. All in all, Marcello felt more and more bored, and more and more wanted to find the real meaning in life.
Madeleine, Sylvia, Steiner, Paula, why do they all look so happy, so satisfied and happy, with careers they like, things they like, and exuberant vitality.
But Sylvia, instead of having a nasty boyfriend, Steiner faced the vulgarity of life, chose suicide and ended the lives of a pair of children with her own hands.
Only young Paula, who can start over, wants to learn to be a typist. And Marcello, at this time, rejected her, and who knows whether it was her, Paula, or herself who rejected him.

The Sweet Life quotes

  • Marcello Rubini: [to Sylvia] You are everything... everything! You are the first woman on the first day of creation. You are mother, sister, lover, friend, angel, devil, earth, home.

  • Steiner: Don't be like me. Salvation doesn't lie within four walls. I'm too serious to be a dilettante and too much a dabbler to be a professional. Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected.
