Quotes from films that I might include

From Life as a House.

"You know the great thing, though, is that change can be so constant you don't even feel the difference until there is one. It can be so slow that you don't even notice that your life is better or worse, until it is. Or it can just blow you away, make you something different in an instant. It happened to me." -George

"Well, what you think you know doesn't necessarily have much to do with reality." -Sam

Commenting on Sentimental Education by Flaubert

So what is the best ending in all of literature? Don't say Ulysses. Everyone says Ulysses.

That's easy. Sentimental Education by Flaubert.

And what happens?

Nothing, really. Just two old friends sitting around remembering the best thing that never happened to them.

How do you remember something that never happened?

Fondly. You see, Flaubert believed that anticipation was the purest form of pleasure... and the most reliable. And that while the things that actually happen to you would invariable disappoint, the things that never happened to you would never dim. Never fade. They would always be engraved in your heart with a sort of sweet sadness.

That sound....

Deep?

Cowardly.
