- but loving someone, and being loved means so much to me. we always make fun of it and stuff, but isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more? ― before sunrise.
- i kind of see this all love as this, escape for two people who don't know how to be alone. people always talk about how love is this totally unselfish, giving thing, but if you think about it, there's nothing more selfish. ― before sunrise.
- i don't know, i think that if i could just accept the fact that my life is supposed to be difficult. you know, that's what to be expected, then i might not get so pissed-off about it and I'll just be glad when something nice happens. ― before sunrise.
- i think i'm always so much more happy with books and movies and stuff. i think i get more excited about well-done representations of life than life itself. ― before sunrise.
- everybody's parents fucked them up. rich kids parents gave them too much. poor kids, not enough. you know, too much attention, not enough attention. they either left them or they stuck around and taught them the wrong things. ― before sunrise.
- i guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. later in life, you realize it only happens a few times. ― before sunset.
- memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past. ― before sunset.
- this friend of mine had a kid, and it was a home birth, so he was there helping out and everything. and he said at that profound moment of birth, he was watching this child, experiencing life for the first time, i mean, trying to take its first breath... all he could think about was that he was looking at something that was gonna die someday. he just couldn't get it out of his head. and i think that's so true, i mean, all - everything is so finite. but don't you think that that's what, makes our time, at specific moments, so important? ― before sunset.
- i mean, i always feel like a freak, because i'm never able to move on like... this! you know. people just have an affair, or even entire relationships... they break up and they forget! they move on like they would have changed brand of cereals! i feel i was never able to forget anyone i've been with. because each person have... their own, specific qualities. you can never replace anyone. what is lost is lost. each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. i never fully recover. that's why i'm very careful with getting involved, because... it hurts too much! even getting laid! i actually don't do that... i will miss on the other person the most mundane things. like i'm obsessed with little things. i see in them little details, so specific to each of them, that move me, and that i miss, and... will always miss. you can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details. ― before sunset.
- the past is just a story we tell ourselves. ― her.
- sometimes i think i have felt everything i'm ever gonna feel. and from here on out, i'm not gonna feel anything new. just lesser versions of what i've already felt. ― her.
- it's that thing when you're with someone and you love them and they know it and they love you and you know it but it's a party and you're both talking to other people and you're laughing and shining and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes. but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual, but because that is your person in this life and it's funny and sad but only because this life will end and it's this secret world that exists right there. in public. unnoticed. that no one else knows about. it's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us but we don't have the ability to perceive them. that's what i want out of a relationship. or just life, i guess. ― frances ha.
