Movie quotes I keep close.
“I don’t care. I really don’t. I’m just tired of being afraid.”
Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the age of 30 and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything…what a waste.
How you live your life is your business but remember our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart’s worn out […] Right now there’s sorrow and pain. Don’t kill it and with it the joy you felt.”
Andre in Call Me By Your Name
“Theory will only take you so far.”
MURRAY
I hope you appreciate that woman.
JACK
Absolutely.
MURRAY
Because a woman like that doesn’t just happen.
JACK
I know it.
Murray and Jack in White Noise
"Hope is a dangerous thing, my friend, it can kill a man.”
Red from Shawshank Redemption
SISTER SARAH JOAN
You clearly love Sacramento.
LADY BIRD
I do?
SISTER SARAH JOAN
You write about Sacramento so affectionately and with such care.
LADY BIRD
I was just describing it.
SISTER SARAH JOAN
Well, it comes across as love.
LADY BIRD
Sure. I guess I pay attention.
SISTER SARAH JOAN
Don’t you think maybe they are the same thing — love and attention?
Sister Sarah Joan and Lady Bird in Lady Bird
"Like sunlight, sunset, we appear, we disappear. We are so important to some, but we are just passing through."
Natalia in Before Midnight
“But, Will, she's been dead two years and that's the shit I remember. It's wonderful stuff, you know? Little things like that.
Yeah, but those are the things I miss the most. Those little idiosyncrasies that only I knew about. That's what made her my wife.
Boy, and she had the goods on me too. She knew all my little peccadillos.
People call these things ‘imperfections,’ but they're not. That's the good stuff.
And then we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds. You're not perfect, sport. And let me save you the suspense. This girl you met, she isn't perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other. That's the whole deal. That's what intimacy is all about. Now you can know everything in the world, sport, but the only way you're finding out that one is by giving it a shot.”
Sean in Good Will Hunting
"I believe if there's any kind of God, it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me, but just this little space in between
If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something.
I know, it's almost impossible to succeed, but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt."
Celine in Before Sunrise
