“Whatever happens in the end, I don’t wanna lose you as my friend.”
“I promise, I will never be your friend. No matter what. Ever.”
- Hotel Chevalier
“Accept the enormity. Give up the illusions of containment. The hardest fact of all is that no matter what the outcome, it is unlikely that you can ever again be the person you have been until now.”
- How Do You Know
“I don’t know, sometimes it still hurts. You know how it is, man. It’s like, you wake up every day and it hurts a little bit less, and then you wake up one day, and it doesn’t hurt at all.
And the funny thing is…this is kinda weird, but it’s like you almost miss that pain.”
“You miss the pain?”
“Yeah, for the same reason that you miss her, because you…you lived with it for so long.”
- Swingers
“I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, ‘cause we’re resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think ‘I’d be an idiot if I didn’t marry this girl. She’s so great.’ But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option… ‘Oh he’s got a good job.’ I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who’s got a good job and is gonna stick around.”
- Blue Valentine
“Have you ever been in love with the idea of someone? Say there’s someone in your life, and you know you can’t be in love with them. You don’t really know them. Maybe you know that you’re not really right for them. You know that whatever it is you’re feeling is really just an attraction towards an image of that person you’ve created in your mind.”
- The Vicious Kind
“What I’m not sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we’ve lived through, or feel we’ve had enough time.”
- Never Let Me Go
“You’re not afraid to get your hands dirty anymore, are you?”
- The Prestige
“Life is nothing but repetition: the same thing over and over. Somebody might give you a trophy and that’s supposed to mean you’re making progress, but there’s no such thing. The fights you fight today are the fights you fight until you die.”
- Rocket Science
