"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear."

—  “The Body” From Different Seasons
Stephen King

Give me hope in silence / It's easier; It's kinder / Tell me not of heartbreak / It plagues my soul, plagues my soul / We will meet back on this road / Nothing gaining, truth be told / But I am not the enemy it isn't me, the enemy / But I came and I was nothing / And time will give us nothing / So why did you choose to lean on A man you knew was falling? / Give me hope in silence / It's easier; It's kinder / Tell me not of heartbreak / It plagues my soul, plagues my soul / And bury me beside you / I have no hope / In solitude / And the world will follow / To the earth down below / But I came and I was nothing / And time will give us nothing / So why did you choose to lean on A man you knew was falling?

"I am better at dry sadness than at cold anger, for I remained dry eyed until now, as dry as smoked fish, but my heart is a kind of dirty soft custard inside.

[…]

I am not sad. Rather stunned, very far away fro myself, not really believing you are now so far, so far, you so near. I want to tell you only two things before leaving, and then I’ll not speak about it any more, I promise. First, I hope so much, I want and need so much to see you again, some day. But, remember, please, I shall never more ask to see you — not from any pride since I have none with you, as you know, but our meeting will mean something only when you wish it. So, I’ll wait. When you’ll wish it, just tell. I shall not assume that you love me anew, not even that you have to sleep with me, and we have not to stay together such a long time — just as you feel, and when you feel. But know that i’ll always long for your asking me. No, I cannot think that I shall not see you again. I have lost your love and it was (it is) painful, but shall not lose you. Anyhow, you have me so much, Nelson, what you gave me meant so much, that you could never take it back. And then your tenderness and friendship were so precious to me that I can still feel warm and happy and harshly grateful when I look at you inside me. I do hope this tenderness and friendship will never, never desert me. As for me, it is baffling to say so and I feel ashamed, but it is the only true truth: I just love as much as I did when I landed into your disappointed arms, that means with my whole self and all my dirty heart; I cannot do less. But that will not bother you, honey, and don’t make writing letters of any kind a duty, just write when you feel like it, knowing every time it will make me very happy.

Well, all words seem silly. You seem so near, so near, let me come near to you, too. And let me, as in the past times, let me be in my own heart forever.

Your own Simone"

The magic hour

.
“At Malick’s insistence certain parts of the film were made at what he calls the ‘magic hour’, that is, the time between sunset and nightfall. From the point of view of luminosity, this period lasts about twenty minutes, so that calling it a ‘magic hour’ is an optimistic euphemism.
The light really was very beautiful, but we had little time to film scenes of long duration. All day we would work to get the actors and the camera ready; as soon as the sun had set we had to shoot quickly, not losing a moment. For these few minutes the light is truly magical, because no one knows where it is coming from. The sun is not to be seen, but the sky can be bright, and the blue of the atmosphere undergoes strange mutations.
Malick’s intuition and daring probably made these scenes the most interesting ones visually in the film. And it takes daring to convince the Hollywood old guard that the shooting day should last only twenty minutes. Even though we took advantage of this short space of time with a kind of frenzy, we often had to finish the scene the next day at the same time, because night would fall inexorably. Each day, like Joshua in the Bible, Malick wanted to stop the sun in its imperturbable course so as to go on shooting.”

2046

He was a writer. He thought he wrote about the future but it really was the past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for 2046 every once in a while. Everyone who went there had the same intention.....to recapture their lost memories. It was said that in 2046, nothing ever changed. Nobody knew for sure if it was true, because nobody who went there had ever come back- except for one. He was there. He chose to leave. He wanted to change.

If I find the right person? A man like me has nothing much except free time. Thats why I need company.
So people are just time fillers to you?
I wouldn't say that. Other people can borow my time to.
And tonight? Are you borrowing me, or am I borrowing you?
No difference. Maybe I borrowed you earlier,now your borrowing me.

Por não estarem distraídos...


havia a levíssima embriaguez de andarem juntos, a alegria como quando se sente a garganta um pouco seca e se vê que por admiração se estava de boca entreaberta: eles respiravam de antemão o ar que estava à frente, e ter esta sede era a própria água deles.

andavam por ruas e ruas falando e rindo, falavam e riam para dar matéria peso à levíssima embriaguez que era a alegria da sede deles. por causa de carros e pessoas, às vezes eles se tocavam, e ao toque - a sede é a graça, mas as águas são uma beleza de escuras - e ao toque brilhava o brilho da água deles, a boca ficando um pouco mais seca de admiração.

como eles admiravam estarem juntos! até que tudo se transformou em não. tudo se transformou em não quando eles quiseram essa mesma alegria deles. então a grande dança dos erros. o cerimonial das palavras desacertadas. ele procurava e não via, ela não via que ele não vira, ela que, estava ali, no entanto.

no entanto ele que estava ali. tudo errou, e havia a grande poeira das ruas, e quanto mais erravam, mais com aspereza queriam, sem um sorriso. tudo só porque tinham prestado atenção, só porque não estavam bastante distraídos. só porque, de súbito exigentes e duros, quiseram ter o que já tinham. tudo porque quiseram dar um nome; porque quiseram ser, eles que eram.

foram então aprender que, não se estando distraído, o telefone não toca, e é preciso sair de casa para que a carta chegue, e quando o telefone finalmente toca, o deserto da espera já cortou os fios.


tudo, tudo por não estarem mais distraídos.

but she can't change me ii

She can do anything at all
Have anything she pleases
The power to change what she thinks is wrong
So what could she want with me?

But wait just one minute here
I can see that she's trying to read me
Suddenly I know

Shes going to change the world
But she can't change me
No she can't change me

She has the daylight at her command
She gives the night it's dreams
She can uncover your darkest fear
And make you forget you feel it

But wait just one minute more
I can see that shes trying to free me
Suddenly I know

Shes going to change the world
But she cant change me

Suddenly I can see everything that's wrong with me
But what can I do?
I'm the only thing I really have at all

But wait just one minute here
I can see that she's trying to need me
Suddenly I know

Shes going to change the world
But she cant change me
No she cant change me

(…) uma das coisas que aprendi é que se deve viver apesar de. apesar de, se deve comer. apesar de, se deve amar. apesar de, se deve morrer. inclusive muitas vezes é o próprio apesar de que nos empurra para a frente. foi o apesar de que me deu uma angústia que insatisfeita foi a criadora de minha própria vida. foi apesar de que parei na rua e fiquei olhando para você enquanto você esperava um táxi. e desde logo desejando você, esse teu corpo que nem sequer é bonito, mas é o corpo que eu quero. mas quero inteiro, com a alma também. por isso, não faz mal que você não venha, espararei quanto tempo for preciso.
