Elizabethtown (film)

"I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember."

"Sadness is easier because it's surrender. I say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free."

"Trust me. Everybody is less mysterious than they think they are."

"Most of the sex I've had in my life was not as personal as that kiss."

"Welcome to the annual meeting of people who annually meet, and we'll see ya'll next year."

"I'm going to miss your lips. And everything attached to them."

"I don't know a lot about everything, but I do know a lot about the part of everything that I know, which is people."

"To have never taken a solitary road trip across country? I mean everybody's got to take a road trip, at least once in their lives. Just you and some music."

"Some music needs air. Roll down your window."

"Men see things in a box, and women see them in a round room."

"I spend so much time thinking about all the answers to the problem ... that I forget what the problem actually was."

"I want you to get into the deep beautiful melancholy of everything that's happened."

"And so we all became helpers, which I so can't help. I can't help helping."

"Life cannot be so cruel that we don't deserve to be together... to eat."

"I'm wearing these clothes. I mean... Have you ever had unlucky clothes? This dress that you like? Good things have not happened to me in this dress. But I saw it tonight and I said: "I'm gonna give you one more chance." And I refuse to be let down by this dress again."

"I'm completely cool with anything you want to say or not say."

"You have five minutes to wallow in the delicious misery. Enjoy it, embrace it, discard ...and proceed."

"As somebody once said, there's a difference between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is simply the non-present of success. Any fool can accomplish failure. But a fiasco, a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions. A fiasco is a folktale told to others, that makes other people feel more... alive. Because it didn't happen to them."

"No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy. A motto of the British Special Air Force is: 'Those who risk, win.' A single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement. The Pacific Northwestern salmon beats itself bloody on it's quest to travel hundreds of miles upstream against the current, with a single purpose, sex of course, but also... life."

"In that moment, I knew success, not greatness, was the only god the world served."

"Because we have a moment here, let me tell you that I have recently become a secret connoisseur of 'last looks'. You know the way people look at you when they believe it's for the last time? I've started collecting these looks. There's one right now."

"You know, there is nothing greater than deciding in your life that things maybe really are black and white! And this guy Ben, who clearly takes you for granted, who serially takes advantage of you, is bad! And what I'm saying is good! See what I mean? You shouldn't be the substitute for anybody. This guy should be right here, right now, doing this. [kisses Claire]"

"Hollie Baylor: We were complete opposites and it worked. And something happened between us that was not part of the plan... we were in love."

"Jessie Baylor: I teach my kids about the things that really matter. I will teach them about Abraham Lincoln and Ronnie Van Zandt, because they are equally important in my house."
