I asked her if she believed you could ever truly understand another culture. I told her the longer I stayed, the more asinine the attempt seemed, and that what I’d become more interested in is how we believed we could be objective in any way at all, we who each came in with our own personal definitions of kindness, strength, masculinity, femininity, God, civilization, right and wrong.
We’re always, in everything we do in this world, she said, limited by subjectivity. But our perspective can have an enormous wingspan, if we give it the freedom to unfurl.
And then I fear that this awareness of their impending doom alters my observations, laces all of it with a morose nostalgia.
This mood is glacial, gathers up all the debris as it rolls through …
‘Because death is not tragic to them, not in the way it is to us,’ I said.‘They mourn.’
‘They feel sorrow, great sorrow. But it isn’t tragic.’
‘No, it isn’t. They know their ancestors have a plan for them. There’s no sense that it was wrong. Tragedy is based on this sense that there’s been a terrible mistake, isn’t it?’
‘We’re sort of big dramatic babies in comparison,’ I said.
She laughed.
He said surely it is more civilized to kill one man every few months, hold up his head for all to behold, say his name, and return home for a feast than to slaughter nameless millions.
Through the windscreen I had a last look at the sea, which was rumpled and agitated, a thick muscle that would hold on tight to everything it swallowed.

Land is a too big ship for me, It's a woman too beautiful, a vogue too long, a perfume too strong, It's music i don't know how to make.
How do you choose just one, one woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die.
我其实很少看一些名气很大的电影，第一次看这个电影是在高铁上，车窗外漆黑一片，车箱里异常安静，我想我永远不会忘记那天
偶然刷到有人说这个电影无聊至极，19年重映的时候去电影院看睡着了，我瞬间就流泪了，因为我好羡慕他，羡慕他在大荧幕上看过（虽然他睡着了[顶]
是的，23年夏天我才第一次看这个电影，到现在9个月过去了，我已经看了不下10次，有时候整理房间或者出门坐车我也会放着听台词。怎么说呢，我很难用语言解释为什么喜欢它，我想过很多次也没有想出来一个原因。我猜，大概我上辈子也登上过那艘船吧
我觉得我不是一个很懂欣赏文艺作品的人，很多不接地气的艺术我都理解不了，但看到这个电影的那天，我真正被电影的艺术震撼到了，每一个情节每一个镜头的构思都让我觉得天呐，我要用一辈子感谢这个世界，感谢这个世界上有电影[泪]

“如果找个男人，钱还得自己赚，饭还得自己做,礼物自己买,遇事自己扛,病了自己去医院，你都这么优秀了，还要他干嘛，你又不缺祖宗.”
"If you find a man, you have to earn your own money, you have to do your own food, you have to buy your own gifts, you carry your own shoulders, and you go to the hospital when you're sick, you're so good, why do you want him? You don't lack ancestors."
