Thank you for all those little things that subtly change our lives~

Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopeless and tragedy .we can thank god for bavarian sugar cookies,we can still find reassurances in a familiar hand on our skin,or a kind and loving gesture, or a subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort. not to mention hospital gurneys, and nose plugs, and uneaten danish, anf soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe, the occational piece of fiction.
And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the suntlelies, which we assume only accessorize our days are, in fact, here for a much larger and noble cause: they're here to save our lives.
i know the The idea seems strange. But i also know that it just so happens to be true. and so it was: a wristwatch saved Harold Grick.
There are times when we are lost in fear and despair, again and again, continuously, in despair and sadness, we can thank God for the Bavarian cookie, and when there is no cookie, fortunately, we can still be around Reassurance in a familiar hand, or a gesture of kindness and love, or a vague encouragement, or a loving hug, or a comforting devotion, not to mention a hospital gurney, and a swimming nasal congestion, and Danny Soufflé, and Whispering Secrets, and Fender Stratocaster guitars, and maybe the occasional novel.
We have to remember that all of these nuances, anomalies, subtleties, have a bigger, higher reason for being: they're here to save us. I know it's a little weird but at the same time I know it's true. All in all, the watch saved Harold Grick.

    Don't let life enslave us, don't let morality defeat life. Heaven is in you, and so is hell.

    Very interesting movie! ~It makes me feel a little bit like the world of Truman, but there are many different places, which are relatively better~ Everyone is the protagonist in their own life, and everything happens inevitably rather than by chance. . . I like stories with similar themes lately~

Stranger Than Fiction quotes

  • [Harold is talking with a coworker, Dave, in the IRS archives]

    Harold Crick: Dave, I'm being followed.

    Dave: [looks around] How are you being followed? You're not moving.

    Harold Crick: It's by a voice.

    Dave: What?

    Dave: I'm being followed by a woman's voice.

    Dave: Okay. What is she saying?

    Harold Crick: She... She's narrating.

    Dave: Harold. You're standing at the water cooler? What is she narrating?

    Harold Crick: I... I had to stop filing. Watch. Listen, listen.

    Kay Eiffel: [as Harold resumes filing, Kay's voice is heard - but only to Harold] The sound the paper made against the folder had the same tone as a wave scraping against sand. And when Harold thought about it, he listened to enough waves every day to constitute what he imagined to be a deep and endless ocean...

  • [to Harold during their first meeting]

    Ana Pascal: Get bent, Tax Man!
