Tudo o que os FILMES DO WONG KAR-WAI me ensinaram sobre o amor (mesmo que eu nao concorde com duas ou três coisinhas)

por palavras minhas


Love, connection, desire, devotion, dreams...are the substance of it all. everything else in existence is just there to fill up the canvas.

- One of the best ways of staying within someone...is to move away.

- you will have ONE great “love of your life” and spend the rest of your time on earth recovering.
(athough, the fact that there is one great unrecoverable love, doesn't mean you won't love again)

- all things are transitory.

- phones, pagers and devices such as those are just additional elements that emphasise your blind notion/feeling that no one really cares about you.

- Everyone is an island. Everyone carries their past with them.
Everyone needs "heat" (specially on the 24th and 25th of December).

- Mutual, altruistic, simultaneous and level to level LOVE is an impossibility (except maybe with your family)

- Sometimes you can tell what a woman is feeling by observing her neck or the way she smokes.

- Running until you sweat is a good way of drenching your body of tears and making yourself feel stronger.

- Tears are what happens when emotion is overwhelming and violent and there is nothing you can do to change or express something.

- women who are mysterious and distant will turn out to be crazier and more passionate than all others.

- Love is what everyone needs and is short of/searching for.

- A girl who is obsessed with another country will surely leave on a plane someday without saying goodbye.

- The best cure for the pain of loss, rejection, unrequited love...is distraction (or giving something to someone else).

- Never travel with someone who you always love but who loves you on Monday, Tuesday thinks you should part and wants you back on Friday. If you must travel with them make sure you have enough money to return at any given time.

- The most meaningful profound moments you’ll experience with other people probably won’t involve sex. Shared moments of things not said nor done will have much greater impact on you than that.

- Buying a girl silk stockings is a good way to respectfully acknowledge her --» while pointing out your interest in her legs. The type of girl you would give silk stockings to is, however, not the same type you can be drinking pals with.

- Love is as complicated and intense between a man and a women as it is between two men. The main difference being that, between the two men, jealousy talks are about comparing how many guys each of them has had sex with.

- Jealousy can kill you (LITERALLY and especially if you are a professional assassin, but not only).

- eating alone is dangerous because your mind wonders way too fast.

- You will keep track of the progression of time by recalling the meaningful people who crashed into your path.

- Sometimes the best way to let go of a secret is to whisper it into the gap of a tree or a temple and seal it forever.

- Jukeboxes are cool and smoke can be downright sexy.

- Nothing of good can come from regret.

- If you are crazy in love with someone who speaks another language...LEARN the goddamn language!

- If you are wondering what a certain person is doing (haven’t talked to them in a while and know they love you) CALL THEM.

- If you realize that what makes you passionately lured to a wonderful person is actually their resemblance to your old love.............treat them well, kiss them as if they were the last someone you would ever kiss, and leave.

- The curves of a womans’ body are sexy but a beautiful foot or back can be magnificent and rock your world, specially if the person to whom it belongs is walking away.

- Sometimes you will think that the one you love is incapable of loving you back....but actually sometimes it is just that they are in love with someone else.

- don't be dependent on someone who doesnt depend on you...although you probably will be either way.

- Never EVER take advantage of a drunken women. Instead gently put her in her bed, take off her shoes and move away. She will remember your gesture with affection.

- the amount of regret is inversly proportional to the amount of kindness and respect you showed someone who was good to you. so always treat people with care and respect (unless they are coming on to you too strong.)

- love is the greatest joy, the greatest catharsis, the greatest persuasion that life has a lot to give, the greatest catalyser of creation, the greatest evasion and resonance of life in your body AND the greatest sorrow.

- No one who tried desperately to recover moments from their past has ever returned (except maybe one person who moved on in time).

- observe others so you’ll learn from their rights and wrongs....…although you probably will end up doing those same mistakes anyway.

- If you can’t be with someone, spend time among their things.

- Sometimes you can catch a ride towards the highway of the future through the kindness of a stranger.

- we walk an inch apart from everyone else but barely touch a few.

- Just because someone enjoys sleeping with you does NOT mean they think about you as often, and want to be with you as much, as you want to be with them.

- Trust people but keep yourself covered and one step back if you realise they are using you.

- don't pitty yourself, don't indulge in your sorow, but don't fight it...when shit happens just let go to whatever comes.




- SOMETIMES THE BEST WAY OF FORGETTING SOMETHING IS TO KEEP IT IN YOUR MEMORY.
