Cold Mountain Quotes

Inman: This doesn't come out right,

If it were enough just to stand,

without the words...



Ada: It is.

It is.



Inman: You... Look,

Look, Look at the sky now,

What color is it?

Or the way... a hawk flies?

Or you wake up...

and your ribs are bruised

thinking so hard on somebody,

What do you call that?

昨天突然想起舊金山的街景。記得2001年去舊金山的時候，搭著鐺鐺車穿梭在高低起伏的街道。在車上的某一刻，也許只有0.1秒，我看到令我一生難忘的街景。

那是一條很長的街道，從腳下延伸到遠處，隨著地勢上下起落。兩旁有高聳的建築，把這條狹長的道路夾在畫面的中間。一個縱深很深的景，看盡大城市裡來往的人車，和屹立的建物。眾生盡收眼底。鐺鐺車很快就開過了，但僅僅是那一瞬間，畫面的美感令我震撼，甚至起雞皮疙瘩。

去年暑假去加州打工，有一個週末我和室友開車重訪舊金山。因為很想找回當年的那個畫面，我們在大街小巷繞啊繞，開啊開，甚至還跟在鐺鐺車後面尋找。可是我並沒有找到。是因為繞的不夠久嗎？還是，那美感只屬於那一瞬間呢？

附上一張稍微類似的照片：

Intellectual

"Hence my characterizations of the intellectual as exile and marginal, as amateur, and as author of a language that tries to speak truth to power." --Edward Said

"我把知識分子刻畫成流亡者和邊緣人，業餘者，對權勢說真話的人。" --薩伊德

車窗上的雪花

午夜時分，雪花爬上車窗

拍的實在很不怎麼樣，雪花依稀可見。在我把相機調整好之前雪花就霧掉了。希望下次會好一點。

Forrest Gump Quotes

Jenny: Were you scared in Vietnam?


Gump: Yes. Well, I don't know.

Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out.

And then it was nice.

It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou.

There was always a million sparkles on the water.

Like that mountain lake. It was so clear, Jenny.

It looked like there were two skies one on top of the other.

And then in the desert, when the sun comes up,

I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the earth began.

It was so beautiful.
