The lines I like

"One day, even our blessed little Rose will die.

Why do we sort of float through this weird thing called life without living?

I'd like to say how much I admire your bravery.

Bravery for what?

For being who you are, and doing so unflinchingly.

That's not bravery, that's apathy.

No, it's not.

The world needs people like you. The world is literally dying for your kind. Embrace that responsibility, and you run with it. Get out there, earn your keep. Give back.

It's not gonna be easy. Never gonna be easy.

For much of it, you'll stand alone, but you've got to stand strong. You know, I beg you to not give into mediocrity,like the other 98 percent of the world. Because you would be doing yourselves, and the world, a greatest disservice.

You're all too smart. You're too smart to let it go to waste. And you've got one shot at this. Don't let a moment of it slip by. Grab it, snatch it up, make it yours .

Celebrate every moment. Celebrate every breath.

We've never been so close to death than this very moment."

The Professor quotes

  • Claire: The person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last. Love is not an end. It's a process through which one person attempts to know another.

    [pause]

    Claire: That's it.

    Richard: And, in a word?

    Claire: In TWO words, deceptively simple.

  • Peter: Why are you wearing sunglasses?

    Richard: I have cancer. I'm supposed to wear sunglasses in unusual places.
