1. "People on land like to find out the bottom line and waste a lot of time. In winter, they worry about the late arrival of summer, and in summer, they worry about the coming of winter. So they keep wandering around in pursuit of a distant place where the four seasons are like Xia's place - I don't envy."
2, "All those cities, you just can't see the end. The end? Please! Please show me where the end of it is? At that time, it was fine to stand on the gangway and look out. I I was wearing my coat and it felt great, and I felt like I had a great future, and then I was about to get off the boat. Don't worry! No problem! But it wasn't what I saw that stopped me, it was what I couldn't The things I see. Do you understand? The things I can't see. In that sprawling city, there's everything, but there's no end. There's no end at all. What I can't see is the end of it all, the world's The end."
3. "The keyboard has a beginning and an end, and you know exactly where the 88 keys are, you can't go wrong. It's not infinite, but music, which is infinite. The music you can do on a keyboard is infinite, and I love it. That way, I can handle it with ease!"
4. You pushed me up the gangway and threw me a piano with a million keys, a million keys with no end, that's a fact, max, they have no end. That keyboard is infinitely extensible. However if the keys are infinite, then there is no music you can play on that piano, you are sitting in the wrong place, that is God's piano"

5. "Oh my God! You... have you seen those streets? Just the streets, there are thousands! What are you going to do when you go down? How do you choose one of them to go? How to choose "your own" a woman, a house, a piece of land, or choose a landscape to admire, choose a way to die. 6. "
That world is so heavy, and it weighs on me." You don't even know where it ends, don't you ever get terrified of breaking down because you're living in endless choices? 7. "
I was born on this ship, and the whole world walks with me, but only two thousand people are carried at a time." There is desire here too, but not so vain beyond the bow and stern. You express your joy with the piano, but the notes are not infinite. I'm used to living like this. "
8. Land? Land is too big a ship for me, a woman too beautiful, a journey too long, a bottle of perfume too pungent, a kind of music that I can't make. I will never be able to give up this ship, but fortunately, I can give up my life. No one remembers me being there anyway, and you're the exception, max, you're the only one who knows I'm here. You are the only one, and you better get used to it. Forgive me, friend, I won't get off the boat. "

    One of the trilogy of Giuseppe Tornatore. I watched it in the cinema and I wanted to be a crew member so much.

The Legend of 1900 quotes

  • Max: I often thought about him during the war; if only 1900 were here, who knows what he'd do, what he'd say. 'Fuck war' he'd say. But somehow, coming from me, it wasn't the same.

  • 1900: And fuck jazz, too.
