Questions 1-5 of 25:

1.

Why is the speaker disappointed by the famous blue paintings of Yves Klein? (from Propositions 63 - 98)

The paintings are boring.

She must question her love of blue.

She cannot look at the paintings.

The lack of variety is overwhelming.

2.

What is the difference between desire and yearning for the speaker? (from Propositions 1 - 21)

Desire is natural, while yearning is artificial.

Desire is good, and yearning is bad.

Desire is short-lived, while yearning is sustained.

Desire may be achievable, but yearning never is.

3.

What does the bird habitat metaphor in Proposition 199 represent? (from Propositions 181 - 208)

That the heart is fragile, like a bird’s nest.

That love is precious, even when it ends badly.

That the speaker was left behind while “you” moved on.

That the speaker’s heart is now empty like an abandoned nest.

4.

Why is the “systematic illusion of color” similar to the experience of love (#53)? (from Propositions 22 - 62)

It is impossible to escape experiencing either color or love without making oneself entirely blind.

In both cases, one believes one’s impressions are intrinsic qualities of the color or beloved, rather than one’s own constructions.

Science can explain neither color nor love.

Colors emerge from an incomprehensible chaos of factors, as does love.

5.

For the speaker, what is the difference between clarity and truth? (from Propositions 99 - 133)

Clarity requires no change, but truth demands change.

Clarity is achievable, but truth never is.

Clarity can be an aspect of truth, but truth goes deeper into meaningfulness.

Clarity can be false, while truth cannot.
