Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?
TROY (2004) dir. Wolfgang Petersen
If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love… I love… I love you. And I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
PRIDE & PREJUDICE (2005) dir. Joe Wright
All is fair in love and war, but some battles leave no victor; only a trail of broken hearts that makes us wonder if the price we pay is ever worth the fight.
