I find it very hard to separate respect from my approval of something.

Perhaps I saw too many romantic movies about master jewel thieves when I was an impressionable teen. The plot line usually included a detective who had grudging respect for the clever thief even as he sent him to jail. I have no trouble getting my head around that.

" Now I have to go finish my film based on Marcel Proust's work- Remembrance of Things Past.
It's very good, I highly
recommend it. "



Still have yet to rent the "Five Senses"....

Some Proust jousts:

~ All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last. ~

~ If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.

~Lies are essential to humanity. They are perhaps as important as the pursuit of pleasure and moreover are dictated by that pursuit.



~We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full.


~Often it is just lack of imagination that keeps a man from suffering very much. ~

~ The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. ~
