The Hours

A woman's whole life in a single day. Just one day. And in that day her whole life.

You cannot find peace by avoiding life, Leonard.

That is what we do. That is what people do. They stay alive for each other.

I've stayed alive for you. But now you have to let me go.

I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been.

I am ungrateful? You call me ungrateful? My life has been stolen from me. I'm living in a town I have no wish to live in. I'm living a life I have no wish to live. How did this happen?

It's on this day. This day of all days. Her fate becomes clear to her.

Oh, Mrs. Dalloway... Always giving parties to cover the silence.

When I'm with him I feel... Yes, I am living. And when I'm not with him... Yes, everything does seem sort of silly.

Would you be angry if I died?

I can't think of anything more exhilarating than a trip to London.

I am attended by doctors! Everywhere, I am attended by doctors who inform me of my own interests.

Vanessa: Your aunt is a very lucky woman, Angelica. She has two lives. She has the life she is leading and also the books she is writing.

I am saying, Vanessa, that even crazy people like to be asked.

I had this fantastic notion. I took the Xanax and the Ritalin together. It had never occurred to me!

Obviously, you feel unworthy. Gives you feelings of unworthiness. You survive and they don't.

Julia: They're all here, aren't they? All the ghosts... All the ghosts are assembling for the party!

Sally: Why do I always have to sit next to the exes? Is this some kind of a hint, sweetheart? And anyway, shouldn't the exes have a table of their own where they can all ex together in ex-quisite agony?

Leonard, I believe I may have a first sentence.

Louis: The day I left him I got on a train and made my way across Europe. I felt free for the first time in years.
