darling

The name that L and I had been looking for turned out to mean "God's darling".
Watched it at midnight. When L read it again the next afternoon, he read the book next to him and listened to it half a time. Most people like the feeling of remembering everything, I used to think I couldn't do it, and now I'm slowly starting to understand that it's because I don't like to remember that I completely forget most things. Including good books, good movies. I rarely reread, rewatch, and never open them again when I can remember. When they are so unfamiliar that I can only know them conceptually and completely lose my senses, that's when I'm reawakened. What I have, has always been curiosity, nothing else.
But I understand L, like I understand little V, they are more willing to remember what they like than ordinary people. Like Mozart.
We learn his laughter. She's not sharp enough, I'm too thin.
I don't know anything, but I like Mozart's music, and I don't understand why that music arouses my liking. Maybe I just like the fluidity of it. They are connected to the world without any barriers. The world I personally understand, the world I love. There is understanding and love in that music.
If the communication with the world is too smooth, then maybe he is the messenger of God, through him God transmits a rare but existing beauty to make people believe that this beauty exists. So, those who are pious are jealous of this God's darling.
Beloveds are miracles of God's indulgence. They live, and they die, short and without grief, because they have performed miracles. When the mortal body dies, the miracle lives on forever.

Amadeus quotes

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Why must I submit samples of my work to some stupid committee just to teach a thirteen-year-old girl?

    Count Von Strack: Because His Majesty wishes it.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Is the emperor angry with me?

    Count Von Strack: Quite the contrary.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Then why doesn't he simply appoint me to the post?

    Count Von Strack: Mozart, you are not the *only* composer in Vienna.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: No, but I'm the best!

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: [of his great opera "Figaro"] Nine performances! Nine, that's all it's had! And withdrawn!

    Antonio Salieri: I know, I know, it's outrageous. Still, if the public doesn't like one's work, one has to accept the fact gracefully.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: But what is it that they don't like?

    Antonio Salieri: I can speak for the Emperor. You make too many demands on the royal ear. The poor man can't concentrate for more than an hour... you gave him four.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: What did you think of it yourself? Did you like it at all?

    Antonio Salieri: I thought it was marvelous.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Of course! It's the best opera yet written, I know it... why didn't they come?

    Antonio Salieri: I think you overestimate our dear Viennese, my friend. You know you didn't even give them a good *bang* at the end of songs, to let them know when to clap?

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: I know, I know... maybe you should give me some lessons in that.
