"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resigned."

"You looked happy. Happy with a secret."

"It's going to be gone soon. I know. What do we do? Enjoy it."

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

realization

When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.

"When I heard the Learn’d Astronomer"

-Walt Whitman-

remember

"I am anxious, and it soothes me to express myself here. It is like whispering to one's self and listening at the same time."

"Before the sun dipped below the black mass, standing boldly athwart the western sky, its downward way was marked by myriad colors of every sunset colour-flame, purple, pink, green, violet, and all the tints of gold, with here and there masses not large, but of seemingly absolute blackness, in all sorts of shapes, as well outlined as colossal silhouettes."

weary

"I am beginning to feel this nocturnal existence tell on me."

-Dracula

perspective

"Just when you think you know something, you have to look at it in a different way."

"You must strive to find your own voice because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, 'Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.' Don't be resigned to that. Break out!"

-Dead Poets Society

show in the sky

"I turned away and made my exit, rambling leisurely along, with the glow of a sinking sun behind and the mild glory of a rising moon in front--one fading and the other brightening."

-Wuthering Heights

actions speak louder than words

"Good words...but deeds must prove it also...remember you don't forget resolutions formed in the hour of fear."

-Wuthering Heights
