You know how it goes. Contempt has always followed possession. To spend your whole life with someone, you don't need lust - which is quickly extinguished - but a harmony of minds, temperaments, and humor.
Le Plaisir, Max Ophüls (1952)

“The future is unknown. The past is melancholy. We only have the present. It’s hard to get one’s bearings.”
- Jacques Natanson (La Ronde)
We're in the past. I adore the past. It's so much more peaceful than the present and so much more certain than the future.
La Ronde, Max Ophüls (1950)
