Yvaine: You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves... You could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.

hahaha okay i know this is pretty laggy. for one thing, i watched this movie a few weeks ago. for another, charly posted this same quote quite a long time ago but i'd been meaning to find the full version, that included the first part, and i finally remembered to find it, so here it is. haha. yay.

surprisingly, this show really did linger in my mind much longer than most of the others i saw this year... can't quite get my head around why though, possibly because this one part was just so real, raw and candid... yet so beautifully expressed. goodness. it pretty much voices the cynicisms, the harshness, the strength and the compelling nature of the emotion of love, and if i were to ever think of love, i'd look back at this quote. Truly, i admire the writer of this movie's screenplay; this really is a Memorable Quote.

right i'll be back soon! i've been meaning to post about so many things.
