Quote

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer. Not to love is to suffer.

Sex is better than talk. Ask anybody in this bar. Talk is what you suffer through so you can get to sex.
Woody Allen
Image
It is impossible to travel faster than light, and certainly not desirable, as one’s hat keeps blowing off.
Woody Allen
Image
I never have an alter ego in the movies. That's a fiction that the press has made up over the years, and it's fun to write that. It gives them something to write.

Fantasy is only a state of mind that you can employ when existing in a real context.

Chastity is curable, if detected early.
Woody Allen

He was so depressed, he tried to commit suicide by inhaling next to an Armenian.
Woody Allen
Image
You can be distracted by your love life, by the baseball game, movies, by the nonsense. Can I get my kid into this private school? Can I get this girl to go out with me Saturday night? Am I going to get the promotion in my office? All this stuff, but in the end the universe burns out. So I think it's completely meaningless.

I foresee death by culture shock.

I didn't believe in reincarnation in my past life, and I still don't.
Woody Allen
Image
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

I have bad reflexes. I was once run over by a car being pushed by two guys.

When I'm not working, I think and I think when I get depressed.
