Natasha is the leader of the Avengers in many ways. […] In this movie, she has the most matured point of view of any of the characters. What fascinating about her is that she is a reformed villain, so she has an understanding of life in a way that other characters don’t. She has an empathy. She can see both sides in a way that not everyone else can. She is the middle ground of maturity. Captain America Civil War Audio Commentary.

i am not a person and i am not an animal.
there is something i am here for
something i must do before i can go.

there are so many kinds of burning. i think that
i have touched them all; i have owned them all. they have
all taken shelter inside of me.

And at certain moments time is obliterated in the presence of somebody you love; there seems to be a transcendence of time in love. Or I believe that there is. I carry a lot of people with me that aren’t here anymore. And so love transcends time. The normal markers of the day, the month, the year, as you get older those very fearsome markers… in the presence of love - they lose some of their power.But it also deals with the deterioration of your physical body. It drifts away, it’s just a part of your life. But beauty remains. It’s about two people and you visit that place in each other’s face. Not just the past and today, but you visit the tomorrows in that person’s face now. And everybody knows what that holds.
Bruce Springsteen explains the line “I don’t see the summer as it wanes, just the subtle change of light upon your face.”

…let’s talk about the things that haunt us.
In other words,
let’s talk about the consequences.

I hand you my fate. But don’t take pity. And don’t come back.
This is our one chance to amaze each other.

Anything that we think we’ve learned,
we’ve learned in the dark.
If there is one secret to this life, it is this life.

The wolf runs.
It runs three legged, like all damaged creatures, across the snow.
She thinks: this is true.
She thinks: this is a life.
She thinks: I do not want to die, but my life will always be like this—wounded and animal, lurching against white.

My friend Michael and I are walking home arguing about the movie.
He says that he believes a person can love someone
and still be able to murder that person.

I say, No, that’s not love. That’s attachment.
Michael says, No, that’s love. You can love someone, then come to a day

when you’re forced to think “it’s him or me”
think “me” and kill him.

I say, Then it’s not love anymore.
Michael says, It was love up to then though.

I say, Maybe we mean different things by the same word.
Michael says, Humans are complicated: love can exist even in the
murderous heart.

I say that what he might mean by love is desire.
Love is not a feeling, I say. And Michael says, Then what is it?

Услышишь гром и вспомнишь обо мне,
Подумаешь: она грозы желала…
Полоска неба будет твердо-алой,
А сердце будет как тогда – в огне.


Случится это в тот московский день,
Когда я город навсегда покину
И устремлюсь к желанному притину,
Свою меж вас еще оставив тень.

What can your past now say to you
that has never been said before? What
of that clock that forbade you to move

forward. What of the clock that asked
for nothing but passage, the minutes
careening into you like a fitful arrow.

What of the clock that summoned nothing,
not even mercy. Once you tired of wanting,
a face to break, you started the clock again.
TINA CHANG, AN EXCERPT FROM THE IDEA OF REVELATION.
