I was talking to someone recently and conversation led on to us sharing our mutual appreciation for this beautiful quote from the film American Beauty.. A long standing favourite of mine, I think it is one of the most beautiful pieces of script I've seen in a film. It's one of those moments where all the world seems to stop and all you can do is watch and listen as everything you've ever felt gets expressed so wonderfully. I remember the first time I saw American Beauty, and the first time I saw the scene in the movie when this quote is spoken, I wanted to rewind and listen to it again and again so every word of it could soak into my soul, I never wanted to forget those beautiful words and how they made me feel. Back then, I was still very unhappy.. And those words meant something else. Now I read them and feel something different. I can almost relate even more.. As something horrible did happen to me, I was not dealt the kindest card, and I could be pissed off about that
Lovely quote :) And incredibly true wordsxxx
