Even better if you can provide your own understanding of its meaning.
Mine would be :
“Nothing kills a man as much as being forced to represent a country” (and err considering the context, I must stress it has nothing to do with the current US shitshow), by a WW1 soldier, illustrator and writer named Jacques Vaché.
For me it just means being forced into representing a group (national, of course, but maybe also social, racial, sexual, professional, any kind of group) or defining one’s identity only by reference to a group is to be avoided at all costs.
Note : Its not the same, imho, as engaging in a collective struggle or defense against a common oppression.
How about you?
That’ll do Donkey… That’ll do.
Edit. I mean it. That calming way shrek says it. The idea that enough has been done, and that everything is OK. That I’m ok. It’s a lovely, and powerful moment in the film that translates to so many day to day situations.
Have you seen Babe? That’s where that quote is from originally
I love that movie. Super disappointed that the pig was essentially a baby. They didn’t have a adult pig in that movie to showcase how big they get.
I wanted a pig as a pet but the smallest pigs are 150 lbs!
I say “That’ll do pig” almost daily. It’s basically a tic for me at this point.
I have yes. And I’d forgotten. Thank you. Adds an extra layer.
That’s so lovely!
