Quote context

[...]

- I love you. And that painful, decaying love is the only thing between you and the shrieking nothingness you live the rest of the day.

- Then don't leave me.

- It's too late, Diana. There's nothing left in you that I can live with.

- You're one of Howard's humanoids and if I stay with you, I'll be destroyed. Like Howard Beale was destroyed. Like Laureen Hobbs was destroyed. Like everything that you and the institution of television touch is destroyed.

- You're television incarnate, Diana. Indifferent to suffering, insensitive to joy. All of life is reduced to the common rubble of banality.

- War, murder, death... all the same to you as bottles of beer.

- And the daily business of life is a corrupt comedy.

- You even shatter the sensations of time and space into split seconds and instant replays.

- You're madness, Diana. Virulent madness. And everything you touch dies with you.

- But not me. Not as long as I can feel pleasure and pain... and love.

- And it's a happy ending.

Hell, they already own half of England! So listen to me. Listen to me, goddamn it. The Arabs are simply buying us.
So if you want the truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves. Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth.
It is the exalted flow of the space-time continuum save that it is spaceless and timeless and... of such loveliness.
