Adaptation
“You are what you love not what loves you.”
“There are too many ideas and things and people, too many directions to go. The reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size.”
“Anybody who says he's got "the answer" is going to attract desperate people.”
“I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion. I want to know how it feels to care about something passionately.”
“Adaptation is a profound process. It means you figure out how to thrive in the world."
“What's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship with the insect that pollinates it. There's a certain orchid that looks exactly like a certain insect so the insect is drawn to this flower, its double, its soul mate, and wants nothing more than to make love to it. And after the insect flies off, spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it. And neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. I mean, how could they know that because of their little dance the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do, something large and magnificent happens. In this sense they show us how to live, how the only barometer you have is your heart. How, when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.”
“Life seemed to be filled with things that were just like the ghost orchid – wonderful to imagine and easy to fall in love with but a little fantastic, fleeting and out of reach.”
“Your characters must change and the change must come from them.”
