Life as a Movie

Life is like a movie and we are the actors upon the stage of the world.
In a moment we fall into the roles of the director—we set the scenes and the soundtrack,
embracing the chaos and love of the truth revealed before our very eyes...

FAVORITE FILM QUOTES

"A woman's whole life, in a single day, just one day, and then that day, her whole life.-Virginia Woolf, The Hours

"Dear Leonard, To look life in the face, always to look life in the face,
and to know it for what it is. At last to know it, to love it,
for what it is, and then, to put it away.
Leonard, always the year between us, always the years, always the love,
always…the hours…”-Virginia Woolf

"If I were thinking clearly, Leonard, I would tell you that I wrestle alone in the dark,
in the deep dark, and that only I can know.
Only I can understand my condition.”—Virginia Woolf

“This is my right; it is the right of every human being. I choose not the suffocating
anesthetic of the suburbs, but the violent jolt
of the Capital, that is my choice. The meanest patient, yes,
even the very lowest is allowed some say in the matter of her own prescription.
Thereby she defines her humanity.”—Virginia Woolf

"That is what we do. That is what people do. They stay alive for each other.—Clarissa Vaughn, The Hours

“I’m not trying to say anything. I think I’m staying alive just to satisfy you.”
“I don’t think two people could have been happier than we’ve been.”-Richard Brown, The Hours

"She'll only break your heart, it's a fact. And even though I warn you, even though I guarantee you that the girl will only hurt you terribly, you'll still pursue her. Ain't love grand?" -Ms.Dinsmoor, Great Expectations

"Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue?
Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy.
Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted." -Susanna Kaysen, Girl Interrupted

"I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't.
How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside."-Susanna Kaysen, Girl Interrupted

"You've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable... known someone that could level you with her eyes...
feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you." -Robin Williams, Good Will Hunting

"Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."
-Ricky Fitts, American Beauty

..."it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once,
and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude
for every single moment of my stupid little life...You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday."-Lester Burnham, American Beauty
