Fear and Desire Lines
"There is war in this forest.Not a war that's been fought,or one that will be,but any war.And the enemies who struggle here do not exist,unless we call them into being.This forest,then,and all that happens now,is outside History.Only the unchanging shapes of fear and doubt and death are from our world.These soldiers that you see keep our language and our time,but have no other country but the mind."莫名喜欢这段旁白。 "Once you understand how a mousetrap works,if you're clever enough,you can use it as a springboard."
"Cold stew on a blazing island.We've just made a perfect definition of war,Mac."
"We spend our lives running our fingers down the lists and dictionaries,looking for our real names,our permanent adresses.No man is an island?Perhaps that was true a long time ago,before the Ice Age.The glaciers have melted away and now we're all islands,parts of the world made of islands only."
"I'd give anything to trade places with that dog we chased yesterday.Seems like whenever people get in a hole they get to get jealous of dogs."
"Well,it's not that I wanna seem important.Half the trouble in the world happens because of some people do,but I think half the good things happen that way too."
"Sometimes,talk is an indispensable medicine.""Yeah,but you get sicker later."
"It's better to roll up your life into one night and one man and one gun.It hurts too much to keep hurting everyone else in every direction and to be hurt with all the seperate hates exploding day after day.You can't help it.A curse buzzes out of your mouth with every word you say and nobody alive can tell which is which or what you mean.Yeah.You try door after door when you hear voices you like behind them,but the knobs come off in your hand…"
"I'm not sure yet whether even we've come back.I think we've travelled too far from our own private boundraies to be certain about these other things anymore…Or come back to ourselves.Part of me is glad,but…""I'm glad in a way too.And I feel free all of a sudden.But somehow I don't want what I wanted before.I know it's good.There's nothing else I can want.I'm all mixed up…I wish I could want what I wanted before."
"It's all a trick we perform when we'd rather not die…immediately."
