*jesse:...You spend all this time trying to reach your destination, you get there, you see around, it's never exactly what you'd hoped, you head off somewhere else, and hope for something else.
celine:...That's why when i'm traveling I kind of force myself not to expect anything from anywhere or anyone. And then, what happens is a surprise.The most insignificant thing can become an endless subject of interest, no?
jesse:...--you can sit down, maybe talk to someone interesting, see something beautiful, read a good book, and that's enough to qualify as a good day. You do that at home and everyone thinks you're a bum.
*celine:...I was especially rejecting words. They seem so rusted and dirty. And they've been used for such evil ends. Sometimes, you know, language is so limited. ...This is an individual's mental experience and perception and... This is how much can be expressed through language. We just don't have words for so many of the impressions we have. So most of our life we will never be able to express to anyone.
*celine: Americans always think Europe is perfect. But such beauty and history can be really oppressive. It reduces the individual to nothing. It just reminds you all the time you are just a little speck in a long history, where in America you feel like you could be making history...
celine: ...to make sure they are not going to fight for the first two weeks of their marriage because they'll be too busy looking around at all the beautiful things. That's what people call a romantic place—somewhere where the prettiness will contain your primary violent instinct....
*celine: ...But i think it's a healthy process to rebel against your parents and everything that came before.
