'Harold and Maude' was a seminal movie for me because it's not only a beautiful love story, but it's also about the moment when misfits find each other.
You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.
It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.
I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you, okay?
I couldn't believe Sam actually got me a present because i honestly thought the "I love you" was it.
I wish I could stop being in love with Sam. I really do.
I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.
We accept the love we think we deserve.
I would die for you. But I won't live for you.
I hate you." My sister said it different than she said it to my dad. She meant it with me.She really did. "I love you," was all I could say in return. "You're a freak, you know that? Everyone says so. They always have." "I'm trying not to be.” Then, I turned around and walked to my room and closed my door and put my head under my pillow and let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be.[pp.28]
So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.
I hate you." I love you." You're a freak, you know that? Everyone says so. They always have." I'm trying not to be.
Harold and Maude' was a seminal movie for me because it's not only a beautiful love story, but it's also about the moment when misfits find each other.
I want to be an author/director and I'm writing my second book now and I want to make a movie of it, and I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life.
