for you in silence

This film is about romance, but it’s a romance that can’t work…Just looking in somebody’s eyes and thinking, “I know we’re meant to be but we can’t be.” – Paul Thomas Anderson on “The Master”

People go by the names their parents give them, but they don’t believe in God.

In the beginning of our marriage, I made a bargain.Gena would fight me to the bitter end, and I would fight her to the bitter end. And the bargain never has been broken. Together we lead a magnificent, unassembled, emotional and undisciplined life. I can’t think of anyone with whom I would rather argue or love than my wife. We fight and argue and kill each other off every single day, Gena and me. But that’s only surface. Because we both have the understanding that when we don’t do that… it’s all over.

That’s just exactly what I don’t want.”

I’m not cute. I’m grouchy. I’m inflexible. Give me a lawn chair and an open robe, and I’m my grandfather.
