‘A second ago you were stepping into college with your lungs full of fresh air. Today you’re an old man.’
‘Old?’ asked Clevinger in surprise. ‘What are you talking about?’
‘Old.’
‘I’m not old.’
‘How much older can you be at your age? A half minute before that you were stepping into high school, and an unhooked brassiere was as close as you ever hoped to get to paradise. Only a fifth of a second before that you were a small kid with a ten week summer vacation that lasted a hundred thousand years and still ended too soon. Zip! The years go rocketing by so fast.’

Everything everybody does is so—I don’t know—not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and—sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you’re conforming just as much as everybody else, only in a different way.

I want to be a good woman. And I want for you to be a good man. This is why I will be leaving. And this is why, I can’t see you no more. I will miss your heart so tender. And I will love this love forever. I don’t want be a bad woman. And I can’t stand to see you be a bad man. I will miss your heart so tender. And I will love this love forever. And this is why I am leaving. And this is why I can’t see you no more. This is why I am lying when I say. That I don’t love you no more. ‘Cause I want to be a good woman. And I want for you to be a good man.

Le trailer tant attendu. En HD.
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.
