Life happens

-I think one of the things I loved the most about being here was the feeling that anything was possible. It's just infinite choices ahead of you. You'd get out of school, and anything could happen. And then you do get out, and life happens, you know? Decisions get made. And all those many choices you had in front of you are no longer really there. At a certain point, you just got to go, "Oh, I guess this is how it's going down ." And there's just something a little depressing about that.
-Well, don't you think you're romanticizng youth a bit much? You know,'cause it's just as hard and annoying to be young as it is to be old, I'm assuming.


They were miserable men who were granted a few moments of transcendence, and they had the talent and foresight to grab pen and paper and write it down. Byron was probably the happiest of the lot, only because he put his dick in everything.
My advice to you is this: put some armor around that gooey little heart of yours.


Well, any place you don't leave is a prison.


I sometimes feel like I'm looking down on myself, like there's this older, wiser me watching over this 19-year-old rough draft, who's full of all this potential, but has to live more to catch up with that other self somehow. I know I'll get there. It's just sometimes I think I want to rush the process, you know? And I don't know. Maybe…maybe I thought you were some sort of shortcut.


You know, he said the purpose of fiction was to combat loneliness.
Well, on the other hand, spending most of your time with an 1,100-page book tends to put a dent in your social life.
Yeah.Loneliness simultaneously increased and decreased.

Everyone in this story is fatally lonely. There are a few actors in the whole movie, but everyone's existence is a lonely one. Whether it’s the heroine who kept her chastity just because she didn’t meet the right person, whether it’s the protagonist’s resistance to New York, whether it’s Professor Peter who spent 37 years in this town as a New Yorker and did it later No matter what you like, whether it is the female teacher who is the hero's first favorite seems to penetrate the meaning of life and see the essence of life, even the essence of the poet, or Dean who tries to commit suicide. There is also a girl in a bookstore. She said that she hopes to read less, because savoring life from books takes up too much time for her, and she hopes to truly experience life firsthand. Everyone is so cute.
Some people say that the director tried to pay tribute to Woody Allen. But apart from the large lines at the beginning and the anxious tone, I think the director is himself. The story doesn't need to be ups and downs, it's just plain and desperate. Fortunately, there is a wise man with a red hat believing that everything will go right.
The factors that attracted me to watch this movie were the liberal arts students and the campus. The feeling of leaving the campus is like the first excerpt of the lines. On campus, we feel that everything is possible, and no one will think you are a strange thing if you do anything. And when you really leave school, you have to make a choice, and then you realize that the choice in front of you no longer exists. When I graduated, I was reluctant to leave like Jesse. I hope I will always be a part of the university campus, reading books all day, and dealing with book wisdom. The helplessness and despair of entering society really make people lose confidence in life. Just like the female professor answering what happens.
Life happens in jesse .

Liberal Arts quotes

  • Jesse Fisher: The other day I was crossing the street, lost in my head about something - a not uncommon state of affairs. I was listening to the overture and as the music began to swell I suddenly realized that: I had hands. And legs, and a torso, and that I was surrounded by people and cars. It's hard to explain exactly what happened, but I felt in that moment that the divine - however we may choose to define such a thing - surely dwells as much in the concrete and taxi cabs as it does in the rivers, lakes, and mountains. Grace, I realized, is neither time nor place dependent. All we need is the right soundtrack.

  • Dean: I just can't get around the fact that I'm, like, aggressively unhappy here.
