I see that now a days the threads are flooded with off topic matters and personal comments. This prompted me to create a new thread so that all the other topics remain clean and focussed.
I hope you will use this thread for all your personal comments and off topic matters. If you wish to refer to a particular comment you can put in the link here as you cannot code from other threads.(I dont know if we can do it, if you know please mention how)
Cheers :) |

Just joined your gang. Was watching a film today....."Persona"....bujhte giya ektu research korlam.....got a great passage on the net.....Comments?
I understand, all right. The hopeless dream of being - not seeming, but being. At every waking moment, alert. The gulf between what you are with others and what you are alone. The vertigo and the constant hunger to be exposed, to be seen through, perhaps even wiped out. Every inflection and every gesture a lie, every smile a grimace. Suicide? No, too vulgar. But you can refuse to move, refuse to talk, so that you don't have to lie. You can shut yourself in. Then you needn't play any parts or make wrong gestures. Or so you thought. But reality is diabolical. Your hiding place isn't watertight. Life trickles in from the outside, and you're forced to react. No one asks if it is true or false, if you're genuine or just a sham. Such things matter only in the theatre, and hardly there either. I understand why you don't speak, why you don't move, why you've created a part for yourself out of apathy. I understand. I admire. You should go on with this part until it is played out, until it loses interest for you. Then you can leave it, just as you've left your other parts one by one.

Sister Alma: Is it really important not to lie, to speak so that everything rings true? Can one live without lying and quibbling and making excuses? Isn't it better to be lazy and lax and deceitful? Perhaps you even improve by staying as you are. (No response) My words mean nothing to you. People like you can't be reached. I wonder whether your madness isn't the worst kind. You act healthy, act it so well that everyone believes you--everyone except me, because I know how rotten you are.

Mr. Vogler: The important thing is the effort, not what we achieve.

Sister Alma: If she won't speak or move because she decides not to, which it must be if she isn't ill, then it shows that she is mentally very strong. I might not be equal to it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sister Alma: To change oneself. My trouble is laziness.
