“[My sister] gets angry as soon as something angers her. She doesn’t wait for years like I do. I wait years before saying that something has made me angry, even when it’s caused me to suffer terribly. And even then I need something else to bring the anger to the surface. Something that has nothing to do with the cause of my anger. Then I get angry. When I get angry I feel like my anger is horrible and that my cries and shouts will cause the world to shatter around me. That someone will die because of my anger. My anger is huge when I get going. And because it’s usually me who gets hurt in the end I’ve come to resent it.”

— Chantal Akerman, from My Mother Laughs (2013) tr. Daniella Shreir

Well, anything might happen, the train could jump off the track. If it should happen that I don’t see you again… It’s been very nice knowing you. (insp.)

SAM AND DIANE IN CHEERS SEASON ONE

We are being awfully childish about this. Let’s leave it at this: I’m rubber and you’re glue, everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you. You love me, you love me, you love me, you love me!

“When Sam offered me the job, I laughed in his face. But then it occurred to me, here I am. I’m a student. Not just in an academic sense, but a student of life, and where better than here to study life in all its many facets? People meet in bars. They part. They rejoice. They suffer. They come here to be with their own kind.”

How many times have I told you I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times have you said you were sick and tired of me; that we were all washed up? How many times have we had to fall in love all over again? Myrna Loy and Fredric March in The Best Years of Our Lives — 1946, dir. William Wyler
