“In every remodelling of the present, the existing condition of things must be supplanted by a new one. Now every variety of circumstances in which men find themselves, every object which surrounds them, communicates a definite form and impress to their internal nature. This form is not such that it can change and adapt itself to any other a man may choose to receive; and the end is foiled, while the power is destroyed, when we attempt to impose upon that which is already stamped in the soul a form which disagrees with it.” MenMaySoulEndsFormConditionsObjectsCircumstancesCommunicateDestroyedVarietyInternalsSurroundDisagreeImpressDefinite Author:Wilhelm von Humboldt

“One of the things I admire so much about Atom Egoyan is that again and again he makes movies about the human condition, who we are, what we want, how we communicate to one another and this is also an exploration of a long-term relationship and what happens in it. There's human sexuality and all those kinds of things, so that helps - it all helps. You realise that I'm not a Playboy bunny.” WantHumansKindLongHelpingHappensTermConditionsCommunicateSexualityAdmireLong TermWho We AreExplorationRealisingAtomsHuman ConditionAgain And AgainBunniesPlayboyLong Term RelationshipPlayboy Bunnies Author:Julianne Moore
