Palo Alto (2013)

ALEX: Marriage is complicated. Surprisingly. MARNIE: I’m sure it is. ALEX: I mean, anything like that is complicated, I imagine. MARNIE: I know. ALEX: I didn’t mean to get in a big conversation about it here, but– MARNIE: You don’t wanna have a conversation? ALEX: Well, I mean, yeah. I mean, if it were okay for me to come here to your house late at night and to tell you how great I thought you were and how much I appreciate you, and, like, all that stuff, that’s what I would be doing, I guess. That’s the conversation I would like to have.

MARNIE: Oh, Mitchell, I cannot play this game with you. MITCHELL: It’s your game. You started this game by being depressed. MARNIE: Oh, I’m sorry. I mean, look, I’m not even depressed, A; and B, even if I was, I mean, that’s my right.

Kester: Did I ever tell you that when I was 17, when all this was black and white, I got asked to train to try out for Wrexham Football Club. My team. Did I ever tell you that? Rae: Thought you weren’t allowed to tell me anything from your life. Kester: And even though I knew deep down inside that I wasn't good enough, I mean, I wasn't even the best footballer in my school, I still went. I stood there in line with all the other lads, in our tracksuits and our hair. Three days running around in the pissing rain and I barely got a touch of the ball. Complete and utter disaster. Rae: Well, it's not the best story I've ever heard. Kester: But if I'd never have gone, then I'd never have known. And that would have been torture. Just because I didn't deserve a place didn't mean I didn't deserve a chance. Someone saw something in me. Just like someone, some stuffy professor, saw something in you. But this is where we differ, you see, you and me. Because you are good enough, and you can do it. But you have to take your chance. You owe yourself that.

“Dear diary, when life is shit, turn to music. When life is scrape-it-off-the-walls shit, turn to Steven Patrick Morrissey. Because when it's done to perfection, music speaks to you in a way nothing else can.”

What a terrible thing it is to wound someone you really care for—and to do it so unconsciously.

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

(When asked "What present can I give my wife to get her to like jazz?") This is just my personal opinion, but I don't think you fully understand married life yet. There's nothing you could give to your wife and expect her to be happy about it. Life is lonely, so we must listen to jazz alone. That's what jazz is. Remember that.

Haruki Murakami, “Mr. Murakami’s Place”
