Not everybody gets corrupted.

really?

Or it's just not enough time.

Mary uses Issac as a spare tire, and Issac uses Tracy as a spare tire... There is no real

love for EGO in Woody Allen's film

, and the full screen of mockery

likes his unadorned expression Men, women, and literary youth are all stripped down. In

pessimism , the true wisdom and courage to face life frankly

come and go, and

only the beautiful picture will last forever.

To quote a few of my favorite lines:
The brain is the most overrated organ.

nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind. Everything really valuable has to enter you through a different opening

He longed to be an artist but balked at the necessary sacrifices . In his most private moments, he spoke of his fear of death, which he elevated to tragic heights when in fact it was mere narcissism.

Chapter One: He adored New York City. To him it was a metaphor for the decay of contemporary culture.

    I silently felt shameless that if I were a straight man, I would definitely be of Woody Allen's type. I was constantly attracted by strong mature women who were battling with me. Stop regards the young, innocent and natural girl as the most comfortable "past" and the most perfect "home." Woody Allen used his real life to prove that he is the most accurate definition of "author's film".

    Mary Wilke: What do you mean?

    Mary Wilke: Yeah.

    Isaac Davis: And that he opened you up sexually...
