One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.
Patrick SwayzeRead
What's powerful about a love scene is not seeing the act. It's seeing the passion, the need, the desire, the caring, the fear.
Interpretation
A love scene is defined more by the emotions involved than by the physical act itself.
This quote emphasizes that the true essence of a love scene lies in the underlying emotions such as passion, desire, and fear rather than the physical act of love. It suggests that the deeper connections and feelings between individuals bring depth and meaning to their expressions of love, making them more powerful and impactful.
In practice
In a discussion about romance films, this quote could be used to emphasize the importance of emotional depth over physicality.
One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.
When those you love die, the best you can do is honor their spirit for as long as you live. You make a commitment that you're going to take whatever lesson that person or animal was trying to teach you, and you make it true in your own life... It's a positive way to keep their spirit alive in the world, by keeping it alive in yourself.
A person who can connect with their partner, another human being who can connect with their soul β it's not just learning steps, it's about expressing something. I've found in dancing all my life that I can release something as a dancer that I can't in any other way.
I kiss you and kiss you, With arms around my own, Ah, how shall I miss you, When, dear, you have grown.
We do what only lovers can: make a gift out of necessity.
Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person, how beautiful it will be when the right person comes along.
I am still learning about love. I thought I understood it--not just mother love, but the love for one's parents, for one's husband, and for one's laotong. I've experienced the other types of love--pity love, respectful love and gratitude love. But looking at our secret fan with its messages written between Snow Flower and me over many years, I see that I didn't value the most important love--deep-heart love.
How beautiful you are! You are more beautiful in anger than in repose. I don't ask you for your love; give me yourself and your hatred; give me yourself and that pretty rage; give me yourself and that enchanting scorn; it will be enough for me.
For me the only things of interests are those linked to the heart
