From Titanic .....

Lewis Bodine: We never found anything on Jack... there's no record of him at all.
Old Rose: No, there wouldn't be, would there? And I've never spoken of him until now... Not to anyone... Not even your grandfather... A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me... in every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now... only in my memory.

Old Rose: I saw my whole life as if I had already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared... or even noticed.

From Rocky ....

Paulie: What's the attraction?
Rocky: I dunno... she fills gaps.
Paulie: What's 'gaps'?
Rocky: I dunno, she's got gaps, I got gaps, together we fill gaps.

From Remember Me ....

Tyler: Gandhi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant. But it's very important that you do it. I tend to agree with the first part.

From Becoming Jane ....

Tom Lefroy: What value will there ever be in life, if we aren't together?


Tom Lefroy: I have no money, no property, I am entirely dependent upon that bizarre old lunatic, my uncle. I cannot yet offer marriage, but you must know what I feel. Jane, I'm yours. God, I'm yours. I'm yours, heart and soul. Much good that is.

Jane Austen: Let me decide that.
Tom Lefroy: What will we do?
Jane Austen: What we must.

Jane Austen: [reading Pride and Prejudice] "She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It was a union that must have been to the advantage of both. By her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved, and from his judgment, information and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance. But no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what connubial felicity really was."
 
From Atonement ....

Robbie Turner: Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life. The man who, with the clarity of passion, made love to you in the library. The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame.

Older Briony: So, my sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for... and deserved. Which ever since I've... ever since I've always felt I prevented. But what sense of hope or satisfaction could a reader derive from an ending like that? So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or... evasion... but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.

Celebrating Mom

Feeling a bit reflective this Mother’s Day … In 1982, my mom passed away suddenly before my oldest child was 3 years old. None of my four children ever had a chance to know her. Having that relationship with their grandmother is a gift that my heart has always wished I could give them. I wish they could hear her laugh, watch her dance with my dad in the kitchen, drink a glass of her sweet tea, taste a cake she made from scratch, or see the love for her family in her eyes. But equally as much, I wish my mother had known my children. I wish she could have seen how awesomely gifted and wonderful they are, how generous they are in sharing their gifts with others. I wish she knew what great parents and role models they turned out to be, and how blessed her great-grandchildren are to have them. But instead of wishing for things that weren’t meant to be, I will celebrate her life this Mother’s Day. And I will remember the good things that she has passed on to me, and that I will continue to pass on to my children. I will honor my mom by thanking God for the family he gave me, for the strong bonds we have with one another, and for the legacy of unconditional love she passed down to us.
