“The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could,”

“WILL What am I so scared of? SKYLAR Well, what aren't you scared of? You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you and you're scared shitless to do anything else but defend yourself because that would mean you'd hafta' change. WILL Oh no. Don't, don't, don't tell me about my world. Don't tell me about my world! I mean you just wanna have you fling with like the guy from the other side of town. Then you're going to go off to Stanford, you're going to marry some rich prick who your parents will approve of and just sit around with the other trust fund babies and talk about how you went slumming too, once. SKYLAR Why are you saying this? What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money. Nearly every day I wake up, and I wish that I could give it back, that I would give it back in a second if it meant I could have one more day with him, but I can't and that's my life and I deal with it. So don't put your shit on me, when you're the one that's afraid. WILL I'm afraid? Wha--wha--what am I afraid of, huh? What the fuck am I afraid of? SKYLAR You're afraid of me. You're afraid that I won't love you back. And you know what? I'm afraid too. Fuck it. I want to give it a shot and at least I'm honest with you. WILL I'm not honest with you? SKYLAR No, what about your twelve brothers? WILL All right. SKYLAR No. You're not going. You're not leaving. WILL What do you want to know? What? That I don't have twelve brothers? SKYLAR Yes. WILL That I'm a fuckin' orphan! SKYLAR Ye WILL No, you don't wanna hear that! SKYLAR I didn't know that. WILL No, you don't wanna hear that. SKYLAR I didn't know it. WILL You don't wanna hear that I had fuckin' cigarettes put out on me when I was a little kid. SKYLAR Oh...I didn't know that... WILL That this isn't fuckin' surgery, that the motherfucker stabbed me. You don't wanna hear that shit, Skylar. SKYLAR I do wanna hear it. WILL Don't tell me you want to hear that shit! SKYLAR I want to hear it because I want to help you. Because I want to-- WILL Help me! What the fuck? What I got a fucking sign on my back? That says "save me?" SKYLAR No. WILL Do I look like I need that? SKYLAR No. God, I just want to be with you because I love you! WILL Don't bullshit me. Don't bullshit me. Don't you fuckin' bullshit me! SKYLAR I love you. I wanna hear you say that you don't love me. Because if you say that, then I won't call you, and I won't be in your life... WILL I don't love you.” (Miramax, Good Will Hunting transcript)

"He lifted up his head, and she saw tears mingled with his sweat. "The Lord," he said, "He sees the heart--He sees the Heart."

Newland Archer's admission at the end

"I could not be here once more, and so near Agnes, without the revival of those regrets with which I had so long been occupied"

"Her mind had to pass again and again through every bitter reproach and sorrowful regret"

"I shall despair. There is no creature loves me;/And if I die, no soul shall pity me:/Nay, wherefore should they, since that I myself/Find in myself no pity to myself?
