"What do you do for a living?" I asked.
His hand shook so badly, as he lit another cigarette, that he knocked over the whisky bottle at his elbow.
"Oh I'm a psychiatrist," he said. "I help people who have problems."

Unless you love yourself...
Unless you are a healthy, growing individual – unless, as it were, you love yourself – you can't love others.

One is as though nothing is a miracle
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Η ποίηση συμβαίνει όταν ένα ρήμα, ένα ουσιαστικό κι ένα επίθετο συναντιούνται για πρώτη φορά
Οι Ινδιάνοι λένε ότι η ποίηση συμβαίνει όταν ένα ρήμα, ένα ουσιαστικό κι ένα επίθετο συναντιούνται για πρώτη φορά. Η ερώτηση δεν είναι αν σου αρέσει, αλλά αν την αντέχεις. Η συντριβή είναι δεδομένη.

El que se tenga por grande (flamenco, scene from "The Limits of Control", review)
Perhaps the song below (second video from the actual movie) is the only thing of interest in the movie The Limits of Control. Ok, some quotes from the moronic scenario are good too (one, aptly characterized the entire movie: "Sometimes I like it in films when people just sit there, not saying anything.").
