Don't Look Now - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.

"Don't Look Now" is a short story by Daphne du Maurier that revolves around a couple, John and Laura, who are grieving the recent death of their daughter in a drowning accident. They travel to Venice, where John is involved in restoring a church. Their vacation is marked by a sense of unease, as Laura becomes increasingly fixated on two elderly sisters, one of whom claims to be psychic and offers insights about their daughter.

The story escalates as John experiences unsettling visions and a sense of foreboding. He struggles with his skepticism toward the supernatural, while Laura appears more willing to embrace the idea that their daughter might still be communicating with them. This tension culminates in a series of tragic and shocking events that challenge their understanding of grief and loss.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
