The Time Traveler's Wife

This is the movie adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger's 2003 novel - The Time Traveler's Wife ... It is a film by Robert Schwentke, starring Rachel McAdams, Eric Bana, Ron Livingston, Brooklynn Proulx, Arliss Howard.

I enjoyed the movie, though you should not miss a single scene because it’s really hard to grasp the plot hehehe but it sure did make me all teary hahaha sheesh! Anyhow, I just downloaded the novel to see if the movie will live up to the book.

Some cheeesssyy quotes from the movie:

"We laugh and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment."

"Do you ever miss him?
Every day. Every minute.
Every minute, she says.
Yes, it's that way, isn't it?"

"It’s dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing."

"Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?"

"There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love."

"I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks, I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence? "

"I hate to be where she is not, when she is not. And yet, I am always going.”

"It's hard being left behind. (...) It's hard to be the one who stays. "

"Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of the water, scanning the horizon for the tiny ship. Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning. I wait for him. Each moment that I wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow and transparent as glass. Through each moment I can see infinite moments lined up, waiting. Why has he gone where I cannot follow?"

"Clare, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you."

"I place my hands over her ears and tip her head back, and kiss her, and try to put my heart into hers, for safekeeping, in case I lose it again."
