Quotes From The Curious Case
of Benjamin Button:
Benjamin Button: I was thinking how nothing lasts,
and what a shame that is.
Daisy: Some things last.
Benjamin Button in letter to daughter: For what it's
worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early
to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit,
stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the
same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make
the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best
of it. And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope
you meet people with a different point of view. I
hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find
that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start
all over again.
Benjamin Button: Along the way you bump into people
who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck
by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some
have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim
the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know
Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people can
dance.
Daisy: We all end up in diapers.
Daisy: Goodnight Benjamin.
Benjamin Button: Goodnight Daisy.
Daisy: Would you still love me if I were old and
saggy?
Benjamin Button: Would you still love ME if I were
young and had acne? When I'm afraid of what's under
the bed? Or if I end up wetting the bed?
Daisy: You're so young.
Benjamin Button: Only on the outside.
Daisy: Will you sleep with me?
Benjamin Button: Absolutely.
Mrs. Maple: Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people
we love. How else would we know how important they
are to us?
Daisy: And in the spring, 2003, he looked at me.
And I knew, that he knew, who I was. And then he closed
his eyes, as if to go to sleep.
Benjamin Button: My name is Benjamin Button, and
I was born under unusual circumstances. While everyone
else was agin', I was gettin' younger... all alone.
