The Cranes Are Flying (1957) Dir. Mikhail Kalatozov

Most would come into this world and leave it without even knowing what they had missed. A soul only came forward when it found its twin, when it felt no need to rely on mere words to explain itself… It was only then that we truly began to live - live with our soul. At that moment, all doubts and shame could be set aside. All rules could be broken, as two souls joined in embrace. All my inhibitions had disappeared. All I wanted was to pour out my heart to her, the good with the bad, the weaknesses with the strengths, holding nothing back, baring my soul. — Sabahattin Ali, Madonna in a Fur Coat

“The disappearance of animals is a phenomenon of unprecedented gravity. Their executioner has invaded the landscape; there is no room left for anyone or anything but him. The horror of finding a man where you could contemplate a horse!” - Emil Cioran, ‘The New Gods’ (1969) [p. 91]
