- "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
- "isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?." before sunrise
- "you misunderstand. it is true i chose not to feel anything upon realizing that my own life was ending. as admiral pike was dying, i joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing. anger. confusion. loneliness. fear. i had experienced those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. such a feeling is something i choose never to experience again. nyota, you mistake my choice not to feel as a reflection of my not caring. well, i assure you, the truth is precisely the opposite." star trek: into darkness
- "men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. and so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? will strangers hear our names long after we are gone and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?" troy
- "it's like, when you don't know someone, they're more interesting. they can be anything you want them to be." sing street
- "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
- "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
