Letter from Juliet

Dear Claire,

'What' and 'if', are two words as non-threatening as words canbe. But put them together, side by side, and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. What if.. .., what if....?, what if....!. I don't know how your story ended, but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then , why wouldn't it be true now? You need only courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like, a love to leave loved one for, a love to cross oceans for. But I' d like to believe, if I never were to feel it that I'd have the courage to seize it. And Claire if you didn't, I hope one day that you will.

All my love.
Juillet

Letters to Juliet quotes

  • Sophie: I'm not a chicken.

    Charlie: And I'm not a gentleman.

  • Charlie: [after the trio finds the grave of a man with the same name of "Lorenzo Bertoli", Charlie wants to give up the search for Lorenzo and is accusing Sophie for putting his grandmother Claire through pain] You're not here 'because you're some romantic who wants to believe in love lasting forever! You're here for the story. Here to see how it all ends! It doesn't matter to you if it's a happy ending or a sad ending as long as it's compelling, right? As long as there's drama.

    Sophie: You think that's true?

    Charlie: I'm just looking out for her!

    Sophie: No you're not! You're not walking away for her, you're walking away for you!

    Charlie: [angrily] She's dealt with enough grief in her life! She's lost her husband, her daughter and her son-in-law! Now, *you* come along and set her up to lose someone she already lost fifty years ago! But why should I expect you to anything? You don't know ANYTHING about loss!

    [Sophie stares at Charile, deeply hurt. She turns and walks away]

    Claire: [to Charlie] You're wrong.

    Charlie: What?

    Claire: That is very wrong, Charlie. She lost her mother.

    Charlie: It's different.

    Claire: It is. Her mother *chose* to leave her. You always knew that your parents loved you.
