The root of the pain in life is not that we obey our feelings, but that we surrender too much to reason

i spent my whole life jumping from one relationship to another

because this made me believe that i was never alone

and that time was not passing

...


i know she was sincere when she said she loved me but she will love

I know she has her own way and she will leave me sooner or later

I know that loss and jealousy can make me lose my calm and control and make me mean and childish I know it's a mistake to be too hard on close people

, but why do we always It's easier to forgive strangers

I know the reality of life is fickle and no one will really stop for you

I know that one cannot seek freedom and safety in life at the same time. That is impossible.

I know that life in reality is enough and shouldn't expect too much.

I know I'm terrified of this relationship

I know it's the way it should be, to protect myself

I know my feelings are easy to sink in and I have to control them I know

we want better and have to learn to forget

It's just a myth,

I don't want to

destroy it. Fantasizing about the future with you will make me feel scared.

I know what we have to give up

in order to protect ourselves ... i recovered my equilibrium and my independence who am i kidding? .... ..

    We don't believe we'll get it, so we're willing to go with the flow until we lose it

Elegy quotes

  • David Kepesh: You know for a Pulitzer prize winning poet, sometimes you display a remarkable lack of imagination.

    George O'Hearn: That's why they gave me the fucking prize.

  • Carolyn: You're fucking other women. I had two husbands who fucked other women. I didn't like it then, I don't like it now, least of all with you. *You have everything with me, David. Pure fucking. No hidden agendas, no icky entanglements.* How could you do this? There aren't many like me.

    [David shakes head]

    Carolyn: I actually understand you. I'm one in a million.
