Just finished watching The Life of David Gale. Kevin "Keyser Söze" Spacey has, as always, done a commendable job in pulling off an intriguing plot.

Here are two dialogues from the flick that kinda hooked on to my grey cells:

"Fantasies must be unrealistic. The minute you get something, you don't, you can't, want it anymore. Living by your wants will never make you happy, what it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals and not to measure your life by what you ever attain in terms of your desires, but those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality, even self-sacrifice.
To exist, desire needs absent objects. So desire supports itself with crazy fantasies...

This is what Pascal means when he says the only time we're truly happy is when day-dreaming about future happiness. Or why we say, 'The hunt is sweeter than the kill' or 'Be careful what you wish for.' Not because you'll get it, but because you're doomed not to want it if you do. Think about it next time you're at a wedding."

And.....

"Death is a gift. We spend our whole lives trying to stop death. Eating, inventing, loving, praying, fighting, killing -- choose a verb. All to stall this evil, Job's 'king of terrors.' But what do we really know about death? Just that nobody comes back. There comes a point in life, when your mind out-lives its obsessions, when your habits survive your dreams, your losses... You wonder, maybe death is a gift."
