Quotes from Before Sunset
Wow! Never judge a movie by its poster, its genre or its stars. That is what I realized after watching and getting philosophically challenged by a small, romantic movie called Before Sunset! It was such a intelligently written script where two soulmates meet again for the first time in nine years only to banter about love, relationships, life and success. I was so pleasantly shocked that I needed to quote some of the best lines from the movie! Enjoy your reading!
Memories are wonderful things if you don't have to deal with the past.
Life's hard. It's supposed to be. If we didn't suffer we'd never learn anything.
I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect . Later in life you realize it only happens a few times.
The idea that you can only be complete with another person is evil, right?!
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.
They enjoy the goal but not the process. But the reality of it is that the true work of improving things is in the little achievements of the day.
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.
You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.
I think so. I read this study where they followed people who won the lottery, and people who had become paraplegic, right.
You'd think that...you know, one extreme is gonna make you...euphoric, and the other suicidal. But the study shows that
after about 6 months. As soon as people get used to their situation, they were more or less the same. Like if they were basically an optimistic, jovial person, they're now an optimistic, jovial person, in a wheel chair.
If they're a petty miserable asshole, ok, they're a petty miserable asshole with a new Cadillac, a house and a boat.
I seriously recommend the movie. It would make you think rather than fall in love. :)
