Movie Trivia: The extras in the group lunch at the Lion’s Club in Take Shelter were only told they would get free lunch and be in a movie. They had no idea the scene would escalate to a physical fight and psychotic rant.

“One day Jean-Luc and I were sitting in a cafe in Boulevard St. Michel and we heard these two students talking about My Life to Live. One was screaming, ‘I love this picture!’ and the other one, who had his back to us, was saying, ‘I hate spending money on this kind of shit.’ And Jean-Luc tapped him on the back, gave him ten francs and said, ‘OK, you didn’t like my picture. Why don’t you go and see a picture you really like?’ The guy was very red-faced and apologetic.”

“I wanted to smoke Gauloises, drink black coffee and talk about absurdity and maquillage with wicked women and doomed young men… I wasn’t interested in happiness, I was looking for the Holy Grail.”

“Leading my list of leading men is most definitely James Stewart. For me, he encompasses all the things I appreciate in a man. He always has been-and always will be-my ideal. Setting him apart is his endearing shyness, an innocence that I found irresistible. He was the sexiest man who played opposite me in thirty years.”

“I want in fact more of you. In my mind I am dressing you with light; I am wrapping you up in blankets of complete acceptance and then I give myself to you. I long for you; I who usually long without longing, as though I am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy, really, utterly long for every bit of you.”

“Don’t confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are.”

“You know those moments, at school or college, when suddenly the cosmos seems like one vast plan after all, patterned in such a way that the novel you’re reading at bedtime connects to your astronomy lecture, connects to what you heard on NPR, connects to what your friend discusses in the cafeteria at lunch – and then briefly it’s as if the lid has come off the world, as if the world were a dollhouse, and you can glimpse what it would be like to see it whole, from above – a vertiginous magnificence. And then the lid falls and you fall and the reign of the ordinary resumes.”
— Claire Messud, The Woman Upstairs. (via somethingchanged)

“He was shy, timid, gentle, and kind, but he wrote gruesome and painful books. He saw the world as full of invisible demons, who tear apart and destroy defenseless people. He was too clear-sighted and too wise to be able to live; he was too weak to fight, he had that weakness of noble, beautiful people who are not able to do battle against the fear of misunderstandings, unkindness, or intellectual lies. Such persons know beforehand that they are powerless and go down in defeat in such a way that they shame the victor. He knew people as only people of great sensitivity are able to know them, as somebody who is alone and sees people almost prophetically, from one flash of a face. He knew the world in a deep and extraordinary manner. He was himself a deep and extraordinary world.”
