"A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a
few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather
than think, and things seem so sharp. And the world seems so fresh as
though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these
moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have
lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I
realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be."
George / A Single Man (2009)
