Quotes From The Holiday:
Iris: I've found almost everything ever written about love
to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers
meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally,
I have not experienced anything remotely close to that,
but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I
suppose I think about love more than anyone really should.
I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define
our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is
blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For
some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is
simply lost. But then of course love can also be found,
even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind
of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its
victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert.
Most love stories are about people who fall in love with
each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our
stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the
victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the
loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded.
The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking
space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And
I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable
years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas',
the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears
and valium. These years that I have been in love have been
the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed
by being in love with a man who does not and will not love
me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding!
Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual
symptoms.
Amanda: Sex makes everything more complicated. Even
not having it, because the not having it... makes
it complicated.
Graham: That's why it's better to have it... some
say.
Miles: Iris, if you were a melody... I used only the good
notes.
Amanda: You know Graham, I just broke up with someone and
considering you just showed up and you're insanely good-looking
and probably won't remember me anyway... I'm thinking we
should have sex... If you want.
Graham: Is that a trick question?
Iris: Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time
she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore
it. And every time she comes through and suprises you, she
wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself,
that she's not for you.
Miles: Exactly, and on top of that there's the old standby,
I can't believe a girl like that would actually be with
a guy like me.
