Movie lines that impress me “I guess when you are young, you just believe that there will be many people you’ll connect with. Later in life you realize it only happens a few times.” “The past is the past. It was meant to be that way. The world may be less free than we think. When given these circumstances, that’s what will happen every time.” “I mean I’m really happy when I am on my own. Even being alone, it’s better sitting next to a lover and feeling lonely. It’s not easy for me to be romantic and after you’ve been screwed up over a few times, you forget about your delusional ideas and you take what comes into your life. That’s not even true. I haven’t been screwed over. I’ve just had so many blah relationships. They weren’t mean, they cared for me, but there were no real connection or excitement. At least, not from my side.” “There is an Einstein quote that I really really like. He said ‘if you don’t believe in any kind of magic or mystery, then you are basically as good as dead.’ ” “I always feel like a freak because I’m never able to move on like this: people just have an affair or even entire relationships, they break up and they forget. They move on like they would have changed the brand of cereals. I feel I was never able to forget anyone I’ve been with because each person has their own specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, it damages me. I never fully recover. That’s why I am really careful with getting involved because it hurts too much. I miss the person the most mundane things. Like I am obsessed with little things. When I was a little girl, my mom told me that I was always late to school. One day she followed me to see why. I was looking at chestnuts falling from the trees, rolling on the sidewalk or ants crossing the roads, the way a leaf cast a shadow on a tree trunk. I think it’s the same with people. I see them in 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.”
