    The life of others is your own life. I can't say I understand it, but everything is really boring and surprising, with no answers.

Slacker quotes

  • Old Man: When young, we mourn for one woman... as we grow old, for women in general. The tragedy of life is that man is never free yet strives for what he can never be. The thing most ferared in secret always happens. My life, my loves, where are they now? But the more the pain grows, the more this instinct for life somehow asserts itself. The necessary beauty in life is in giving yourself to it completely. Only later will it clarify itself and become coherent.

  • Working on Same Painting: Sorry, I'm late.

    Having a Breakthrough Day: That's okay, time doesn't exist.
