Celine: Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past.
Jesse: You realise that most of the people that you meet are trying to get somewhere better, they're trying to make a little bit more cash, trying to get a little more respect, have more people admire them. It's just exhausting.
Celine: 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.
Jesse: We're just living in a pretense of a marriage responsibility, and all these ideas of how people are supposed to live.
Celine: The concept is absurd. The idea that we can only be complete with another person is evil! Right?
Celine: You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.
Jesse: I'm designed to feel slightly dissatisfied.
Celine: There are so many things I want to do, but I end up doing not much.
Jesse: I have this idea of my best self, and I wanted to pursue that even if it might have been overriding my honest self.
Celine: 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.
Celine: Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past.
Celine: Were you there in Vienna, in December?
Jesse: 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.
Jesse: There's gotta be something more to love than commitment.
Celine: Memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.
Celine: The concept is absurd. The idea that we can only be complete with another person is evil! Right?
Celine: Even being alone it's better than sitting next to your lover and feeling lonely.
Celine: 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.
