Quote by Jeremy Goldberg

My Fair Lady (1964) dir. George Cukor

“I tried to hang out with my peer group, Defne, Murat and Yudum, but was unable to assimilate myself to their mode of being. They seemed always to be waiting for something, for the removal of some obstacle – for a business to open, for the sun to move, or for someone to come back from going to get something. Whenever they actually did anything, like go in the water, eat lunch, or walk somewhere, they did it in an abstracted, halfhearted way, as if to show that this was just a side diversion from the main business of waiting. All they talked about was when the thing they were waiting for was going to happen. But whenever that thing did happen, nothing seemed to change. The sense of provisionality was the same, it just gradually found a new object.” - Elif Batuman, The Idiot

“It’s enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.” - Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
