When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on" 

When the Good Place said "Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.” 

When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also 'Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

“One First of April, the question had arrived from Paris in a single Latin sentence, starting off dispiritedly. “Num…?”- a particular which notoriously “expects the answer No.” Harriet, rummaging the Grammar book for “polite negatives,” replied, still more briefly, “Benigne.””

Oooh yes… Sir Walter isn’t just conceited and vain, he used to be “remarkably handsome” in his youth and still very fine at fifty four. To give you an idea of a fine looking fifty-something:

Hugh Jackman (55 years old as of 2024)

John Hamm (52 years old as of 2024)

When Jane Austen writes: Sir Walter Elliot was now 54 years old and still really pretty“ what face comes into your mind?

I always imagined one of those 55 years old Hollywood stars who are ridiculous pretty and sure as hell had plastic surgery. I most definitely didn’t imagined… well… *looks at 1995, 2007 and Netflix*
