What matters is performances, regardless of what the name is, whether it's the rock - which is my nickname and people call me that all the time - it's no big deal. so, whether it's the rock or dwayne johnson, in terms of being recognised i just think that the goal is to be recognised as a good actor. i don't put much thought or weight into the name, or the name change, or what it is, or what does it mean? it's just a nickname.

It was a real whale, a photograph of a real whale. i looked into its tiny wise eye and wondered where that eye was now. was it alive and swimming, or had it died long ago, or was it dying now, right this second? when a whale dies, it falls down through the ocean slowly, over the course of a day. all the other fish see it fall, like a giant statue, like a building, but slowly, slowly.
Wise Real Ocean
...she merely wished to find a way out of the maze. she knew that she had become a burden to him: she took things too seriously, turning everything into a tragedy, and failed to grasp the lightness and amusing insignificance of physical love. how she wished she could learn lightness! she yearned for someone to help her out of her anachronistic shell.
