"How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life... you start with the little things. The shelves, the drawers, the knickknacks, then you start adding larger stuff. Clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, your TV... the backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. You go bigger. Your couch, your car, your home... I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. Now I want you to fill it with people. Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office... and then you move into the people you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your brothers, your sisters, your children, your parents and finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend. You get them into that backpack, feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks."

Dizem que o George Clooney é um homem bonito. E eu também acho que é, mas, porque sou do contra, ou simplesmente porque não gosto de coisas que são tendencialmente boas para toda a gente, acho que ser bonito é poucochinho... Prefiro pessoas que têm qualquer característica que os torna únicos e insubstituíveis. Não precisam de ser bonitas, não precisam de ser simétricas nem perfeitinhas. Têm apenas de ser aquilo que são, com toda a bagagem que trazem e com todas os seus pequenos defeitos.

Eu decidi (tal como o amigo George neste filme, e acompanhada por uma boa banda sonora) que preciso esvaziar a mochila, para poder voltar a enchê-la com aquilo que realmente importa, com aquilo que quero e necessito.

Título em português: "Nas Nuvens"
