Before Sunrise:

• You know, so at best we're like these tiny fractions of people, you know, walking... I mean, is that why we're so scattered? Is that why we're all so specialized? [...] It's a totally scattered thought. It.. which is kind of why it makes sense. - Jesse
• 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. - Jesse
• 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
• Even though I reject most of the religious things I can't help but feeling for all those people that come here lost or in pain, guilt, looking for some kind of answers. It fascinates me how a single place can join so much pain and happiness for so many generations. - Celine (on churches)

Before Sunset:

• Even being alone -- it's better than sitting next to a lover and feeling lonely. - Celine
• Reality and love are almost contradictory for me. - Celine
• From the start I make no effort because I know it's not gonna last. - Celine
• The concept is absurd. The idea that we can only be complete with another person is evil! - Celine
