"I live alone within myself, like a hut within the woods; I keep my heart high upon the shelf, barren of other goods; I need another's arms to reach for it, and place it where it belongs. I need another's touch and smile, to fill my hut with songs."
Director: David Fincher
Starring: Rosamund Pike, Ben Affleck, Neil Patrick Harris, Carrie Coon, Kim Dickens
My rating: 8/10
" When I think of my wife, I always think of the back of her head. I picture cracking her lovely skull, unspooling her brain, trying to get answers. The primal questions of a marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other? What will we do?"

"So much has been said about the girls over the years. But we have never found an answer. It didn't matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls... but only that we had loved them... and that they hadn't heard us calling... still do not hear us calling them from out of those rooms... where they went to be alone for all time... and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together."

"Yes, mister Vincent McKenna is flawed, seriously flawed. But just like all the other saints we studied cause after all, saints are human beings; very human beings. Courage, sacrifice, compassion, humanity: these are the markings if a saint and what makes mister Vincent McKenna not so far removed from St William of Rochester."

"I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt."
Director: Richard Linklater
Starring: Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke
My rating: 9/10
"All right, I put up with plenty of your shit. And if you think I'm just some dog who's gonna keep coming back, then you're wrong. But if you want true love, then this is it. This is real life. It's not perfect, but it's real. And if you can't see it, then you're blind, all right, and I give up."
Director: Stephen Daldry
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Stephen Dillane, Edd Harris
My rating: 9/10
"Dear Leonard. To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Leonard, always the years between us, always the years. Always the love. Always the hours."
Director: Peter Weir
Starring: Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke, Gale Hansen, Josh Charles, Allelon Ruggiero, James Waterston

"Boys, 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!"
Director: Jacques Audiard
Starring: Marion Cotillard, Matthias Schoenaerts, Armand Verdure
My rating: 9/10
"In a human hand there are 27 bones. Some apes have more. A gorilla 32, five per finger. A human has 27. If you break an arm or a leg… the bone grows back together by calcification. Your arm or leg can therefore become even stronger. But with a hand fracture it will never get quite right. In every battle and with each slap you will think of it. You’ll be careful. But once in a while the pain will come back. Like needles. Like glass splinters."
