like water

If you have the opportunity, I recommend that you find the soundtrack of the movie and listen to it. The sound of the piano like running water gives people the illusion that they are about to lose their heads when they are in it.

Movies, music, even Woolf's original "Mrs. Dalloway," feel the irresistible gravitational pull.

The river of life does not stop for a moment, until death takes us away.

Lego:Why does someone have to die? Did I ask a stupid question?
Virgi:No, not at all. Someone has to die. They die so the rest can value their life more.
Lego:Who will die?
Virgi: The poet dies. The visionary.

The visionary dies, as always.

The Hours quotes

  • Clarissa Vaughn: I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.

  • Virginia Woolf: Say something, Nessa! Didn't you think I seemed better?
