Quotation - "That's quite a lovely Jackson Pollock ...."


Woody Allen


           


Allen:      That's quite a lovely Jackson Pollock [painting], isn't it?
Woman:  Yes, it is.
Allen:      What does it say to you?
Woman:  It restates the negativeness of the universe.  The hideous lonely emptiness of existence.  Nothingness.  The predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void with nothing but waste, horror, and degradation, forming a useless, bleak straitjacket in a black, absurd cosmos.
Allen:      What are you doing Saturday night?
Woman:  Committing suicide.
Allen:      What about Friday night?
From; Play It Again, Sam (1972)
