Goodbye First Love Page #3

---

I'm lost on a quest

for an utopian peace.

In Paris I could hardly find balance.

Everytime I manage to change,

I come closer to my ideal self.

But you don't let me go my way.

You follow me everywhere I go.

It's you I'm looking for

when I kiss someone else.

I think I love you,

but I want you to disappear.

I don't want to be anything

for you anymore.

It was a dream and I don't know

if there's anything left of it now.

The teachings of German

philosopher Leibniz are...

the topic treated in this story.

In Voltaire's simplified vision,

Leibniz proposes...

that everything is good

in the best of all worlds.

What are you doing this afternoon?

Reading?

Maybe.

Don't you have anything more fun?

You need to take a step, now.

Don't you think so, honey?

September 13th, 2003

Ladies, you're late. You've got

two minutes to get dressed.

I'm getting mad of standing there

for hours without doing anything.

I don't manage

to think of anything else.

No, don't take my carpaccio!

No.

- Don't be cruel.

It's not for you. It's the only thing

I have for my dinner.

So hands off.

- What shall I eat now?

Shall I starve?

- Have some cheese.

Here you go.

Is there any bread?

- No.

Only Swedish Toast.

Did you meet your father?

We had a dinner last week.

How's his girlfriend?

I heard she doesn't talk so much.

Don't question me like this.

- I won't.

What do I care?

I'm just glad for him.

Your concept has some qualities.

You have an original vision

you stick to. But...

I see a fundamental problem.

A student residence isn't a place

for walk and spiritual growth.

I like the way

you're using the site.

You want to work horizontally?

All right. But it must be functional.

Covered terraces, trees,

a pond. Why not?

Nice, that reflection.

Like that bridge to the library.

But where do the students live?

There aren't enough rooms.

And they are too small.

Broom closets.

Nice big windows,

but they're still closets.

Will students in winter want

to walk two km to the dining room?

All that water is at the expense

of the common areas.

It's more suitable for a retreat

than for collective living.

What you have created,

is a monastery.

A house

should appeal to everyone...

while art isn't required

to fall in anybody's taste.

Art is a private matter

for its creator. A house is not.

Art is created

without concrete needs.

Houses answer a need.

People must be asked

what comforts them.

They dislike everything that affects

their security and disturbs them.

That's why they love houses

and hate art.

Four years and what?

Only silence.

Every day's a day without him.

If only I had faith. But I've a call.

Something to live for.
