... tonight and this movie:
I loved the first two ones - Before Sunrise and Before Sunset and I watched them this week once again. Love both actors and the perfect dialogues they have ... about relationships, their hopes, fears and dreams. There are so many lines (from both Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke)) that speak to me.
C: I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not
you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of
magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone
sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who
cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.

C: Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

C: I always feel this pressure of being a strong and independent icon of
womanhood, and without making it look my whole life is revolving around
some guy. But loving someone, and being loved means so much to me. We
always make fun of it and stuff. But isn't everything we do in life a
way to be loved a little more?

C: Why do I make everything so complicated?
J: I'm designed to feel slightly dissatisfied!

J: Maybe what I'm saying is, is the world might be evolving the way a
person evolves. Right? Like, I mean, me for example. Am I getting worse?
Am I improving? I don't know. When I was younger, I was healthier, but I
was, uh, whacked with insecurity, you know? Now I'm older and my
problems are deeper, but I'm more equipped to handle them.

C: I see it in the people that do the real work, and what's sad in a way is
that the people that are the most giving, hardworking, and capable of
making this world better, usually don't have the ego and ambition to be a
leader.

C: I was having this awful nightmare that I was 32. And then I woke up and I
was 23. So relieved. And then I woke up for real, and I was 32.

C: Even being alone it's better than sitting next to your lover and feeling lonely.

C: The past is the past. It was meant to be that way.
J: What, you really believe that? That everything's fated?
C: Well, you know, the world might be less free than we think.
J: Yeah?
C: Yeah, when given these exact circumstances, that's what will happen
every time: two part hydrogen, one part oxygen, you get water every
time.
J: No, no, I - I - I mean what if your grandmother had lived a week longer,
or, you know, or passed away a week earlier, days even. You know things
might have been different. I believe that.
C: You can't think like that, it's...
J: No, I mean, I know you shouldn't on most things, but - It's just, on this one it seemed like something was off, you know?

C: If we were meeting for the first time today on a train, would you start
talking to me? Would you ask me to get off the train with you?
And the song Celine sings in the Before Sunset movie? Aaaaah!
