“Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head.”

Hannibal Lecter: I will listen now. After your father's murder, you were orphaned. You were ten years old. You went to live with cousins on a sheep and horse ranch in Montana. And...? Clarice Starling: [tears begin forming in her eyes] And one morning, I just ran away. Hannibal Lecter: No "just", Clarice. What set you off? You started at what time? Clarice Starling: Early, still dark. Hannibal Lecter:‌ Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it? Clarice Starling: I heard a strange noise. Hannibal Lecter: What was it? Clarice Starling: It was... screaming. Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice. Hannibal Lecter: What did you do? Clarice Starling: I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to. Hannibal Lecter: And what did you see, Clarice? What did you see? Clarice Starling: Lambs. The lambs were screaming. Hannibal Lecter: They were slaughtering the spring lambs? Clarice Starling: And they were screaming. Hannibal Lecter: And you ran away? Clarice Starling: No. First I tried to free them. I... I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run. Hannibal Lecter: But you could and you did, didn't you? Clarice Starling: Yes. I took one lamb, and I ran away as fast as I could. Hannibal Lecter: Where were you going, Clarice? Clarice Starling: I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it was very cold, very cold. I thought, I thought if I could save just one, but... he was so heavy. So heavy. I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up. The rancher was so angry he sent me to live at the Lutheran orphanage in Bozeman. I never saw the ranch again. Hannibal Lecter: What became of your lamb, Clarice? Clarice Starling: They killed him. Hannibal Lecter: You still wake up sometimes, don't you? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs. Clarice Starling: Yes. Hannibal Lecter: And you think if you save poor Catherine, you could make them stop, don't you? You think if Catherine lives, you won't wake up in the dark ever again to that awful screaming of the lambs. Clarice Starling: I don't know. I don't know. Hannibal Lecter: Thank you, Clarice. Thank you.

Hannibal Lecter: Was it a butterfly? Clarice Starling: Yes. A moth. Why does he place them there, Doctor? Hannibal Lecter: The significance of the moth is change. Caterpillar into chrysalis or pupa…and from thence, into beauty. Our billy wants to change too. Clarice Starling: There's no correlation in the literature between transsexualism and violence. Transsexuals are very passive. Hannibal Lecter: ...Billy is not a real transsexual. There are three major centers for transsexual surgery... I wouldn't be surprised if Billy had applied for sex reassignment at one or all of them and been rejected... Billy hates his own identity you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual Hannibal Lecter: Look for severe childhood disturbances associated with violence. Our Billy wasn't born a criminal, Clarice. He was made one through years of systematic abuse. Billy hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual. But his pathology is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying.

I finished the whole Latin Course on Duolingo and let me review it like a book for you all: Do not waste your time on it.

فقط چندتا انتقاد دارم. - منالئوس رو چرا همون اول کشتن؟ کل داستان سر پس گیری هلن توسط منالئوس بود. - بریسیس اصلا وجود خارجی نداره توی ایلیاد. - هیچ نشونه ای از خدایان توی فیلم نبود!

Achilles to Briseis: The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

“Whispering Shakespeare to myself at night while going to sleep.” There I thought two years ago that it was just a tsh aesthetic phrase and now I am actually doing it.
