BEFORE SUNRISE QUOTES

 Jesse: Everything that's interesting costs a little bit of money. I'm telling you.

 Celine: Feminism is made by males so they can ask the females to free their bodies.

 Jesse: After that breakup, I just wanna be a ghost, completely anonymous.

 Celine: Media is the new form of fascism.

 Jesse: I don't know, I think that if I could just accept the fact that my life is supposed to
be difficult. You know, that's what to be expected, then I might not get so pissed-off about
it and I'll just be glad when something nice happens.

 Celine: Each time I wear black, or like, lose my temper, or say anything about anything,
you know, they always go, "Oh it's so French. It's so cute." Ugh! I hate that!

 Celine: I used to think that if none of your family or friends knew you were dead, it was
like not really being dead. People can invent the best and the worst for you.

 Celine: If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of
understanding someone sharing, something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed ....
but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.
Celine: If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding

The answer must be in the attempt.

 Jesse: Why is it, that a dog, sleeping in the sun, is so beautiful, y'know, it is, it's
beautiful, but a guy, standing at a bank machine, trying to take some money out, looks like
a complete moron?

 Celine: Each time I wear black, or like, lose my temper, or say anything about anything,
you know, they always go, "Oh it's so French. It's so cute." Ugh! I hate that!
Celine: Each time I wear black, or like, lose my temper, or say anything about anything,
you know, they always go, 'Oh it's so French. It's so cute.' Ugh! I hate that!
 Celine: I always feel this pressure of being a strong and independent icon of
womanhood, and without making it look my whole life is revolving around some guy. But
loving someone, and being loved means so much to me. We always make fun of it and
stuff. But isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

 Celine: Even though I reject most of the religious things I can't help but feeling for all
those people that come here lost or in pain, guilt, looking for some kind of answers. It
fascinates me how a single place can join so much pain and happiness for so many
generations.

 Jesse: Everybody's parents fucked them up. Rich kids parents gave them too much. Poor
kids, not enough. You know, too much attention, not enough attention. They either left
them or they stuck around and taught them the wrong things.

 Jesse: Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband. And
sometimes it feels really close. But then other times it seems silly like it would ruin my
whole life. And it's not just a fear of commitment or that I'm incapable of caring or loving
because... I can. It's just that, if I'm totally honest with myself I think I'd rather die knowing
that I was really good at something. That I had excelled in some way than that I'd just been
in a nice, caring relationship.

 Celine: I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but
just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the
attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to
succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.

 Celine: Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

 Celine: You don't want to see me again?

Jesse: No, of course I do. If somebody gave me the choice right now of to never see you
again or to marry you, I would marry you.

 Jesse: I think we should.

Celine: Then it's like some male fantasy.Meet a French girl in train, fuck her and never see
her again.

 Celine: Well, he convinced me.I mean, actually, I was ready to get off the train with him
after talking to him a short while. He was so sweet, I couldn't help it.In the lounge car, he
began to talk about him as a boy seeing his great grandmother's ghost.I think that's when I
fell for him.Just the idea of this little boy with all those beautiful dreams.He trapped me.
And he's so cute.He has beautiful blue eyes, nice pink lips, greasy hair.I love it.He is kind
of tall, and he's a little clumsy.I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.He kind of
kisses like an adolescent. It's so cute.

 Jesse: You know what drives me crazy? It's all these people talking about how great
technology is, and how it saves all this time. But, what good is saved time, if nobody uses
it? If it just turns into more busy work. You never hear somebody say, "With the time I've
saved by using my word processor, I'm gonna go to a Zen monastery and hang out". I
mean, you never hear that.

 Celine: The only person I could really hurt is myself.

 Celine: I AM THE MOST HARMLESS PERSON....ONLY PERSON I CAN THINK

OF HURTING IS MYSELF
Celine: I AM THE MOST HARMLESS PERSON....ONLY PERSON I CAN THINK OF
HURTING IS MYSELF.
Celine: I'm the most harmless person. The only person I could really hurt is myself.

 Celine: When you talked earlier about after a few years how a couple would begin to
hate each other by anticipating their reactions or getting tired of their mannerisms-I think it
would be the opposite for me. I think I can really fall in love when I know everything about
someone-the way he's going to part his hair, which shirt he's going to wear that day,
knowing the exact story he'd tell in a given situation. I'm sure that's when I know I'm really
in love.

 Jesse: People always talk about how love is this totally unselfish, giving thing, but if you
think about it, there's nothing more selfish.

 Jesse: OK, well this was my thought: 50,000 years ago, there are not even a million
people on the planet. 10,000 years ago, there's, like, two million people on the planet. Now
there's between five and six billion people on the planet, right? Now, if we all have our
own, like, individual, unique soul, right, where do they all come from? You know, are
modern souls only a fraction of the original souls? 'Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000
to 1 split of each soul in the last 50,000 years, which is, like, a blip in the Earth's time. You
know, so at best we're like these tiny fractions of people, you know, walking... I mean, is
that why we're so scattered? You know, is that why we're all so specialized?

 Celine: Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

Celine: Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

 Jesse: I know happy couples... but I think they lie to each other.
Jesse: I know happy couples... but I think they lie to each other!

 Celine: I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.

 BEFORE TRILOGY QUOTES

“I think I can really fall in love when I know everything about someone – the way he’s

going to part his hair, which shirt he’s going to wear that day, knowing the exact story

he’d tell in a given situation. I’m sure that’s when I know I’m really in love.” —

Celine, Before Sunrise

You tell ’em, Celine!

“Listen, if somebody gave me the choice right now, of to never see you again or to

marry you, alright, I would marry you, alright. And maybe that’s a lot of romantic

bullshit, but people have gotten married for a lot less.” — Jesse, Before Sunrise

Not the most romantic proposal, but it’s real and we like it.

“If there’s any kind of magic in this world…it must be in the attempt of

understanding someone.” — Celine, Before Sunrise

Celine was definitely ready to take a risk on love, because she knew love is worth the risk.

“It’s like our time together is just ours. It’s our own creation. It must be like I’m in

your dream and you’re in mine or something.” — Celine, Before Sunrise

Living in a dream wouldn’t be so bad, would it?

“There’s gotta be something more to love than commitment.” — Jesse, Before Sunset

#Preach.

“You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific

details.” — Celine, Before Sunset

Celine is so deep and yet totally relatable.

“I guess when you’re young, you just believe there’ll be many people with whom

you’ll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.” —

Celine, Before Sunset

So sad, and so true.

Celine: “Baby, you are gonna miss that plane. Jesse: “I know.” — Before Sunset

Love is all about taking chances and being with someone you love, which is exactly why
Jesse didn’t get on that plane!
“I am giving you my whole life ok? I got nothing larger to give, I’m not giving it to

anybody else. If you’re looking for permission to disqualify me, I’m not gonna give it

to you. Ok? I love you. And I’m not in conflict about it. Okay? But if what you want is

like a laundry list of all the things that piss me off, I can give it to you.” —

Jesse, Before Midnight

This is definitely what love looks like 10 plus years later.

“You’re just like the little girls and everybody else. You wanna live inside some

fairytale. I’m just trying to make things better. I tell you that I love you

unconditionally, I tell you that you’re beautiful, I tell you that your ass looks great

when you’re 80. I try to make you laugh.” — Jesse, Before Midnight

Why can’t we live in a fairytale again?

“If you want true love, then this is it. This is real life. It’s not perfect, but it’s real.” —

Jesse, Before Midnight

It really isn’t perfect. And that’s what makes it perfect.

After all of this love and honesty, we need to re-watch the Before Sunrise trilogy ASAP!
