—Jan: La rebelión es difícil ahora. Antes uno se drogaba y usaba el pelo largo y ya estaba contra el mundo. Lo que antes era subversivo, hoy se vende en las tiendas. Camisetas del Che, autoadhesivos anarquistas.

—Jule: Por eso no hay más rebeliones juveniles. Todos sienten que ya se ha hecho antes. Otros fracasaron antes. ¿Por qué no habríamos de fracasar ahora?

—Jan: En todas las revoluciones hay algo claro. Aunque fracasen, lo importante es que sobrevivan sus ideas. Y en las rebeliones personales también. Lo que resulta bien… lo que sobrevive en ti… te hace más fuerte.

What happens to us in the future? Do we become assholes or something?

That's what the present is. It's a little unsatisfying because life is unsatisfying.

—Midnight in Paris [2011].

*

Nostalgia is denial - denial of the painful present... the name for this denial is golden age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one ones living in - its a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present.

Si Amélie prefería vivir en sus sueños y seguir siendo una chica introvertida, estaba en su derecho, ya que malograr su vida es para todo ser humano un derecho inalienable.

Just because you accept help from someone, doesn't mean you have failed. It just means you're not in it alone.

Gandhi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant. But it's very important that you do it. I tend to agree with the first part.

Life is pretty much in the grays for the most part and if you insist always on black and white... you are going to be very unhappy.

—The Last Kiss [2006].

Anna: I just have to say one thing and it's pretty important that you just listen to me. I just...it doesn't feel like this...this thing is gonna go away, it's always there. I can't...I can't get on with my life.
Jacob: We agreed!
Anna: I know, Jacob. But the things that we have with each other that...that I don't have with any other person. With any other human being apart from you.

Sam: Why do you always use binoculars?
Suzy: It helps me see things closer. Even if they're not very far away. I pretend it's my magic power.
Sam: That sounds like poetry. Poems don't always have to rhyme, you know. They're just supposed to be creative.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that's true. What they don't tell you is that when it starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up.

—Big Fish [2003].

*

Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he's "just" a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That's like saying, "he can't climb that mountain, he's just a man", or "that's not a diamond, it's just a rock." Just.

—Finding Neverland [2004].

And in the end I think I've learned the final lesson from my travels in time; and I've even gone one step further than my father did: The truth is I now don't travel back at all, not even for the day, I just try to live every day as if I've deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life.
