“the worst part about being lied to is knowing you werent worth the truth”

“To know what life is worth you have to risk it once in a while.”

“Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being - like a worm.”

“INEZ: There...you know the way the catch larks - with a mirror? I'm your lark-mirror,my dear, and you can't escape me...There isn't any pimple, not a trace of one. So what about it? Suppose the mirror started telling lies? Or suppose I covered my eyes - as he is doing - and refused to look at you, all that loveliness of yours would be wasted on the desert air. No, don't be afraid, I can't help looking at you. I shan't turn my eyes away. AndI'll be nice to you, ever so nice. Only you must be nice to me too.”

“You know, it's quite a job starting to love somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment, in the very beginning, when you have to jump across a precipice: if you think about it you don't do it.”

“All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.”

“Life has no meaning, the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.”
