"You are not ashamed, you are fear"

This is a true love movie

Reminds me of Martin Walser's words "When she saw him, he already saw her"

As a friend said, "You are not ashamed, you are fear"

Your beauty scares me

Your beauty makes me ashamed

Your beauty drives me away

Your beauty makes me feel like it's blasphemy to be near

So love is involuntarily following your gaze wherever and whenever

So love wants to touch and withdraw

So love is the murmur of "God bless you" when passing by before leaving

So love is going back and forth Standing in front of the window watching you on the beach and waving your hand when nobody knows

My temples are already gray, I have experienced life and death joys and sorrows, I thought my heart was calm, I thought I had seen it through, but I didn't expect that the moral wall I was proud to build would collapse for you. I'll run away, I'll be overjoyed because I "had to return" to you because the trip was canceled, I'll be as happy as a fledgling boy when I see you on the beach, I'll Follow behind you like a fool, step by step, sweating profusely.

You should be able to see what I'm thinking, my poor disguise can't hide my eyes at all. Are you responding to me? When you look back and smile, your smile is like a poppy flower, making me know the danger and willingly moth to the flame. "You shouldn't laugh like that, you shouldn't laugh like that to anyone". "I love you."

But I didn't dare. I only dared to hide in the dark. Later, I dyed my hair and put on makeup, and the barber said that I can now fall in love. I feel funny and sad.

"Wisdom, truth, human dignity, it's all over."

How a man, an artist, should be perfectly balanced

"Tacchio, Tacchio..."

are you looking at me

At the end of my life, I want to be close to you and touch you

I am done

And you are eternal purity

Death in Venice quotes

  • Alfred: You have achieved perfect balance: the man and the artist are one. They have touched bottom together.

  • Alfred: You never possessed chastity. Chastity is the gift of purity not the painful result of old age and you are *old* Gustav.
