Submergence quotes

  • James More: I think you're following me.

    Danielle Flinders: Or you're following me in advance.

  • James More: Death. It gets very real when you're watching somebody die in front of you. You're thinking, is this all I am? Is this all I added up to? And all the clichés are true. You're thinking, why now? Why did it have to be... this happen, before I realize what life truly is? It's direct, it's immediate, and it's their whole life exposed to you.

    Danielle Flinders: Did you think about your own death a lot?

    James More: I did, and I do.

    Danielle Flinders: I've heard people telling me that they've had those exact same thoughts when they fell in love.

    James More: No, you don't die when you fall in love.
