Women react to me the way that they do, Don Octavio, because they sense that I search out the beauty that dwells within until it overwhelms everything else. And then they cannot avoid their desire, to release that beauty and envelope me in it. So, to answer your question, I see as clear as day that this great edifice in which we find ourselves is your villa. It is your home. And as for you, Don Octavio DeFlores, you are a great lover like myself, even though you may have lost your way and your accent.
Shall I continue? Don Juan : Every true lover knows that the moment of greatest satisfaction comes when ecstasy is long over and he beholds before him the flower which has blossomed beneath his touch.
Don Juan : Every woman is a mystery to be solved. Don Juan : There are those that do not believe that a single soul born in heaven can split into twin spirits and shoot like falling stars to earth where over oceans and continents their magnetic forces will finally unite them back into one. But, how else to explain love at first sight?
We were convinced that there was no other life beneath the sky but ours. We believed that we would never die. Don Juan : I would say that he has a rather limited and uncreative way of looking at the situation.
Look, you want to know if I understand that this is a mental hospital? Yes, I understand that. But, then how can I say that you are Don Octavio and I am a guest at your villa? I will accept that I'm not the first if you will tell me, with the same Don Juan : [voice-over] This would have been a very good time for me to lie.
But truth is a terrible habit. Don Juan : Including you Bill : Wh-who? Don Juan : My host at this villa. Bill : Via? Don Juan : Villa. Don Juan : Si, villa.
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer. And if it is true, as Nietzsche claims, that a philosopher, to deserve our respect, must preach by example, you can appreciate the importance of that reply, for it will precede the definitive act.
These are facts the heart can feel; yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect. If I ask myself how to judge that this question is more urgent than that, I reply that one judges by the actions it entails. I have never seen anyone die for the ontological argument. Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living "for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is same.
Only love. Last update Sept. Johnny Depp 76 American actor, film producer, and musician Effort , Life. Worth living for, too. On the one hand, for a man to have the same heroes at 57 as he did at 21 would seem to prove the old adage that the age you become famous is the age you stop growing.
Depp also proves another old adage: never trust a man over 30 who reveres Hunter S Thompson. Whereas most actors pick up causes and side interests the way other people go through takeaway sandwiches, Depp has been enduringly faithful to his original loves. Throughout his career, he sought out friendships with Richards, Thompson, Brando and Allen Ginsberg, which gave him a reflected retro sheen. He seemed to be from the past, his LA a grubby 50s version, as opposed to the glitzy 90s one in which he lived.
I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time. That year, Phoenix collapsed and died outside it from an overdose. In , Depp announced he and Paradis were separating, and he was now dating Heard.
I will fuck her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she is dead. His reputation for professionalism started to crack. He delayed the shooting of the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film because of what he said was a hand injury — which Heard claimed in court occurred when he punched a wall during one of their fights — and there were reports from that set that Depp was drinking heavily and needed to have his lines fed to him through an earpiece.
But probably one of the better clues came from Jerry Bruckheimer, who produces the Pirates franchise. It has been a long time now since Depp was cool. The photos of him in London during the case, wearing a Rasta hat and matching striped T-shirt, brought a sad pang for those old enough to remember when he was the most stylish man in the world.
His last genuinely good film was Sweeney Todd in , and he has spent the past few years making turkeys such as Lone Ranger, The Tourist and a genuinely unbearable cologne advert. His loyal fans would say that it all went wrong when he left Paradis for Heard in But it feels that the rot started before that. His life quickly became absurd. The whole thing is grotesquely over the top and crassly predictable, with Depp wanging on and on and on about Thompson and Richards, and sharing the advice Brando gave him about how to buy an island.
He insisted that his former managers had stolen millions from him; they claimed he had spent it. Who, really, can maintain any sense of reality when they are dealing with those sums of money? Maybe some people, but not fiftysomethings who idolise Hunter S Thompson. Depp made the classic fanboy mistake of focusing only on the glamorous, external trappings of his heroes.
But all of them wrestled with the question of how hellraisers deal with getting older in a way that Depp, apparently, has not. Richards quit hard drugs in and Iggy Pop also cleaned up long ago. Thompson killed himself at 67 , ground down by poor health and depression; Brando ended up a bloated mess.
Depp could easily have grown into a figure like Richards or Iggy Pop: clean, cool, critically acclaimed, a revered cultural figure. Instead, in the past few years, it has become clear he has chosen the other option. That now feels like an alternative universe. It would be easy to dismiss this as yet another spoilt, obnoxious celebrity shown up for being spoilt and obnoxious — easy but wrong, because that would miss why Depp was so compelling for so long.
Until the allegations of abuse emerged, the stories that came out about Depp were, by and large, notably nice. Kind, even. But over the past decade, things started to change. Where once he drove journalists around LA and France and regaled them with loquacious thoughts about life, his more recent encounters with the press have had the feeling of Kurtz barricading himself in the jungle.
