“ People are mysterious, even to themselves. ”
...that out of the quarrel with others we produce rhetoric, matter for the editorial page, while out of the quarrel with ourselves we create art.
~ Frank Lentricchia
Our personal past is only available to us now through black-and-white film, it's a medium for communication with the dead, including our dead selves, the way we used to be, which is why we're drawn to it.
Only the past is real.
No one can be the total cure for another person.
