Greta Garbo in Anna Christie directed by Clarence Brown, 1930 / image source: TheRedList

In the 1960′s, she said to her friend Raymond Daum:

“I’m sorry for a lot of things, for quitting things…. Actually, I’ve been out of order for years. It takes forever for me … to make a move. How can I do anything when I can’t even move from my living room to my other room? A friend told me, ‘You are like a mollusk!’

I didn’t know what it meant, so I looked it up – it’s an animal that doesn’t move, just sits there.” / text source: Garbo Forever

“Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book

The wall with the lines and patterns of the stones are in a great harmonic rhythm and built a perfect frame of the more chaotic part with it’s pillars, ruin and people. It’s like two different worlds with a gate between them. For me the highlight of this photo is the woman who is leaving the chaotic part and enters the gate with such a great determined expression.
A nice addition is the quote, which I really like and I think it fits perfectly to the photo. Or at least to what I see in this photo.

“Si hay algún tormento estéril que sea mayor que el de los celos,
quizá sea el remordimiento. Incluso es probable que los dolores de la
pérdida sean menos intensos; y, como es natural, es frecuente que ambos
sufrimientos se combinen, como me sucedía entonces. Hablo de
remordimiento, no de arrepentimiento. Dudo de haber experimentado jamás
el arrepentimiento en su forma pura; tal vez no exista en forma pura. El
remordimiento contiene culpa, pero una culpa impotente y desesperada
que no sabe de cura alguna para la dolorosa mordedura.”
