Memorable Quotes

And in that moment, everything I knew to be true about myself up until then was gone. I was acting like another woman, yet I was more myself than ever before.
Francesca: I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now the rest of my life. Don't you understand... we'll lose it if we leave. I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold onto to both. Help me. Help me not lose loving you.
Robert: The old dreams were good dreams; they didn't work out, but glad I had them.
Robert : I dont want to need you, 'cause I can't have you.
Robert: Don't kid yourself, Francesca: you are anything but a simple woman.
This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime.

Feancesca: I'll blame loving you for how much it hurts. And then even these days won't be anything more than something sordid and... a mistake.
ROBERT (desperately) Francesca, listen to me. You think what's happened to us happens to just anybody? What we feel for each other? How much we feel? We're not even two separate people anymore. Some people search their whole lives for it and wind up alone -- most people don't even think it exists and you're going to tell me that giving it up is the right thing to do? That staying here alone in a town you hate, in a house you don't feel apart of anymore -- you're telling me that's the right thing to do!?
FRANCESCA
We are the choices we've made, Robert

Memorable Quotes from Amelie Poulain the movie

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

The fool looks at a finger that points at the sky.

At least you'll never be a vegetable - even artichokes have hearts.

Life's funny. To a kid, time always drags. Suddenly you're fifty. All that's left of your childhood... fits in a rusty little box.

So, my little Amélie, your bones aren't made of glass.
You can take life's knocks. If you let this chance go by,
eventually, your heart will become as dry and brittle
as my skeleton. So, go ahead

I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way nobody ever looks at the road in old movies."

The girl with the glass...maybe her thoughts are with somebody else. Somebody in the picture? More likely a boy she saw somewhere and felt an affinity with. You mean she'd rather imagine herself relating to an absent person than build relationships with those around her? Maybe she tries hard to fix other people's messy lives.
but What about her? Her own messy life? Who'll fix that?
Amélie: It's better to help people than a garden gnome

Failure teaches us that life is but a draft, a long rehearsal for a show that will never play

We pass the time of day to forget how time passes
