"Not all those who wander are aimless, not those who seek truth, beyond definition, beyond image" That's from the movie Mona Lisa Smile, which I watched this afternoon. I remember watching it before, but I don't really think I got it last time. I also don't think I was living away from home the first time I saw it. And that quote doesn't really sum up how I feel about it, I just thought it was cool. What the movie did make me feel though, was that I am the luckiest ever to be living now, and pretty much no generation earlier. I don't know how I could fulfill certain expectations that would be required of me. I just...couldn't be that kind of girl. Although I suppose the movie was about upper class families, and being a lowish class mennonite in any country I could probably get away with a lot. I think it seems that the farther down you are in the 'class' system (don't fool yourself, it's there) the fewer expectations there are, the more freedom you have. I don't know what I'm saying really, just some thoughts I'm having.
I also read Thunder of Heaven today. Good book. Strange though, very weird.
