The Hours
“I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts and of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.”
“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
“What does it mean to regret when you have no choice?”
“A woman’s whole life in a single day. Just one day. And in that day - her whole life.”
“Someone has to die in order that the rest of should value life more. It’s contrast.”
“I wanted to be a writer, that’s all. I wanted to write about it all: everything that happens in a moment; the way the flowers looked when you carried them in your arms; this towel – how it smells, how it feels, its thread; all our feelings – yours and mine; the history of it – who we once were; everything in the world, everything all mixed up.”
“I seem to have fallen out of time.”
“It only matters if you think it’s true.”
“…Always giving parties to cover the silence.”
“It was death. I chose life.”
