some words

These are some parts of my personal notes that I took from several books, authors, philosophers, designers, directors, etc. They mean a lot while I am reading/watching and I hope you find some pieces that mean to yourself too! 

(a work by me)


Time destroys all.  -Gaspar Noe, Love (2015) 

To those, who made us who we are and who can not be here right now. -Gaspar Noe, Climax (2018)

I had no intention of making things understandable to others that I could not even fully explain to myself.
 -Stefan Zweig

People dream of turning back rather than leaving. -Paulo Coelho

You want to learn the way to win, but you don't want to admit defeat. To accept defeat, to learn to die means to become independent from it. When tomorrow comes, you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying, my friend.- Bruce Lee

I mean, who would turn to look at their own shadow? -Stefan Zweig

"Of course, it sounds strange for the one who cannot understand."

Living is a selfish act. -Gaspar Noe

All pain is coward. It always withdraws in the face of a deeper joy of life than itself. -Stefan Zweig

To look is to listen. - Alan Fletcher

I do not feel I have wisdom enough yet to love what is ugly. -Stendhal

If what you find is made of pure matter, it will never rot. And you will come back there one day. If it's just a momentary thing like a starburst then you won't find anything on your return.  At least you will still have seen a burst of light. Solely, that is worth the trouble of living. -Paulo Coelho

Use your eye, not the rules. -David Carson

There is no such thing as a good effect, Mr. Gray. All effects are immoral.  Because to impress a person means to give him from your soul. The afflicted person can no longer think with his natural thoughts and burn with his natural passions. -Lord Henry, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

She lives the poet she cannot write. -Oscar Wilde

"Connections are fragile."

At a touch of love,everyone becomes a poet -Plato

Don' confuse legibility with communication. Just because something is legible does not mean it communicates and, more importantly, does not mean it communicates the right thing. -David Carson

If your mind is too open people can throw all kinds of rubbish into it. -Alan Fletcher

the kiss and shutter island

     Adaptation of some famous paintings to movie scenes, video clips have become common in the contemporary era. Gustav Klimt's  The Kiss  painting and Martin Scorsese's  Shutter Island movie  hugging scene is the painting - mise-en-scène adaptation I will mention about. The reason why I chose this dual is, Gustav Klimt's painting gives the senses of intensity, abstract sparkle occurring inside human emotion, attachment, and passion   in a very effective way. The denotation of the scene from Shutter Island is highly relative to the painting and I could not imagine any other artwork can be replaced with the scene.         Gustav Klimt is an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most well-known members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt's primary subject in his paintings is the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most affected by Japa...
