Quote by Ron Potter

“And I see my father once again, eternally once again. And as the moment fades, I realize I have recreated this scene countless times. And each time I forget that I had created it not long ago. “Longing is powerful,” I say out loud to no one but myself.”

Love Summer Longing Prison

Author:Albert Camus

“I look at you and I see how absolutely each person is afflicted, regardless of station, by envy. How envy is the best distraction from the completeness of our own lives. How longing is sacred and envy is rotten longing. How hard we are on our own happiness and how generous we are toward just about anyone else, how willing we are to believe that anyone else knows how.”

“Moderation and limitation represent the highest with regard to human strivings. If also an infinite longing never abandons the person because he is rooted ... in the infinite and, thus, if a secret or open mourning never leaves him - the homesickness of one banished to finitude - so the knowledge, which belongs to the effect of limitations, gives the resignation a consoling, indeed, a cheerful character. Life closes itself around a circle. Every thing points to its place and a glimpse in the space of nature reveals the law of modesty. Separation is necessary so that unification can demonstrate itself; longing is necessary so that silence does not become rigid.”

“Someone once told me that the book on someone's bedside table reveals a lot about the person -- their tastes, but also the mental space they are in. Perhaps Jihyun -- based on this song -- is dreaming of a simple, conventional life. He might always have been that way. It's a good thing, I think, to be able to listen to a popular song and be able to feel something. That means you are part of a larger world, the majority of people. I want that life -- it's simple, pleasant way to live.”
