Quote by Dew Platt

“This causation exists as a streamed organization of constantly fluid potential. Anything that can be must first hold the streaming potential to be. It is soul. It is always potential. It is never static. It is never rigid. Its essence is all these, which means it can not be anything other and be the Primal Cause. It is never nothing. Nothing does not exist with it. It is something. It is anything. It is everything. At the same time! Just like your consciousness. Pure Unordered Potential!”

“E a, agora que estou sem ela, com mais dinheiro do que tempo para gastar, com meu nome carimbado na história do cinema, percebo o quanto isso é vazio, e me torturo por ter escolhido isso em vez de me orgulhar do meu amor. Mas isso é um luxo. Só quem é rico e famoso pode fazer isso. Concluir que o dinheiro e a fama, depois que obtidos, não valem nada.”

“In Europe my family left their toes, but to Ellis Island they brought a dream. The old American dream. Work hard, save your money, be decent, and success you're bound to have. A business of your own. A house. Nice food on the table, carpets, curtains. Maybe two weeks in December in Miami Beach. Only if you're my family you swim with your slippers on. Okay. I grew up with that dream. But these artists you're describing, the self-promoting crybabies what are intentionally being scholckmeisters and gonifs, they dream the new American dream. And the new one is to achieve wealth and recognition without having the burden of intelligence, talent, sacrifice, or the human values what are universal.”

“Lei si siede nell’angolo del divano. Discreta come se fosse solo di passaggio. Vedendola seduta lì, vicino a me, capisco che da troppo tempo non la guardo. Ho conservato in me anche i minimi dettagli dei suoi tratti. La sua bellezza è sempre stata un mistero per me. Un’entità che non ho mai saputo scomporre. Un tutto, sensuale e femminile, desiderabile e materno, fragile e incrollabile. Più di una volta avrei voluto mangiarla. La sua pelle, la sua carne di mela e il suo sapore zuccherino. Ho scritto il mio primo racconto e l’ho divorata, l’ho inghiottita, senza lasciare niente. Ho posato il suo corpo sulle mie pagine e il libro si è richiuso. Quello che mi aveva impedito di fare dodici anni prima posando la sua mano sulla mia l’avevo fatto alle sue spalle, senza che lei potesse dire niente, senza che potesse farmi ragionare. Oggi che la nostra storia è diventata una storia, che i nostri personaggi vivono in autonomia, è tempo di ritrovarla.”

“Imagine if you looked different to every person who saw you. Not, like, some people thought you were more or less attractive, but one person thinks you're a sixty-five-year-old cowboy from Wyoming complete with boots and hat and leathery skin, and the next person sees an eleven-year-old girl wearing a baseball uniform. You have no control over this, and what you look like has nothing to do with the life you have lived or even your genome. You have no idea what each person sees when they look at you. That's what fame is like. You think this sounds like beauty because we sometimes say that beauty is all in the eye of the one beholding the beauty. And, indeed, we don't get to decide if we are beautiful. Different people will have different opinions, and the only person who gets to decide if I'm attractive is the person looking at me. But then there is some consensus about what attractive is. Beauty is an attribute defined by human nature and culture. I can see my eyes and my lips and my boobs when I look in a mirror. I know what I look like. Fame is not this way. A person's fame is in everyone's head except their own. You could be checking into your flight at the airport and 999 people will see you as just another face in the crowd. The thousandth might think you're more famous than Jesus. As you can imagine, this makes fame pretty disorienting. You never know who knows what. You never know if someone is looking at you because you went to college with them or because they've been watching your videos or listening to your music or reading about you in magazines for years. You never know if they know you and love you. Worse, you never know if they know you and hate you.”
