#before sunset.

"in a way, i put all my romanticism into that one night. and i was never able to feel all this again. like somehow that night took things away from me. and i expressed them to you and you took them with you. it made me feel cold. like if love wasn't for me."

"it's not so easy for me to be a romantic. you start off that way, and after you've been screwed over a few times, you forget about all your delusional ideas and you just take what comes into your life. "

"it's better that i don't romantizie things as much anymore. i was suffering so much all the time. i still have lots of dreams, but not in regard to my love life. it doesn't make me sad. it's just the way it is."

"sometimes i put things in drawers inside my head and forget about it. i guess it's less painful to put certain things away than to live with them."

"memory is a wonderful thing, if you don't have to deal with the past."

"it's the same with people. i see in them little details. so specific to to each other. that move me and that i miss. and will always miss."

"i feel i was never able to forget anyone i've been with. because each person has specific qualities. you can never replace anyone. what is lost is lost."

"i will miss the person for the most mundane things. "

"there's been so much water under the bridge that it's not even about you anymore. it's about that time. that moment in time that is forever gone."

"reality and love are almost contridictory for me."

"i guess when you're young, you just believe there will be many people with whom you'll connect with. later in life, you realize that it only happens a few times."

"what does it mean? the right man? the love of your life? the concept is absurd. the idea that we can only be complete with another person is evil."

"it reminded me how genuinely romantic i was. how i had so much hope in things. and now it's like, i don't believe in anything that relates to love."

"i'm really happy only when i'm on my own. even being alone, it's better than sitting next to a lover and feeling lonely."

"we're moving all our industries to developing nations so we can get cheap labor, free of any environmental laws. the weapon industry is booming. five million people die every year from preventable water disease. so how is the world getting any better?"
