Heartache for two hours, still can't wait for happy ending. And this woman has been heartbroken for half a century... The plot is too cruel. The implied name of this small boat carrying dreams on the brink of collapse is morality. She is not a miracle of God, but an ultimate test. The choice is too difficult...too difficult! God cannot be blamed. God is not the maker of the rules, he is only the discoverer, like the Buddha. At the same time, they all want people to find out. As the name implies, it is obvious: truth, goodness and beauty are the eternal and eternal beacon of destiny.

The Light Between Oceans quotes

  • [first lines]

    Tom Sherbourne: I'm just looking to get away from things for a little while.

    Mr. Coughlan: [sitting behind his desk] Well, it's no paradise out on that island. Just want to make sure you know what you're in for.

    Tom Sherbourne: All due respect, Mr. Coughlan, it's not likely to be tougher than the Western Front.

    Mr. Coughlan: Oh, you're probably right about that. You pay your own passage to every posting. You're a relief worker so you don't get holidays. I understand you're a single man. No family. So, that's a slight concern. Wouldn't normally send a single man to Janus. It's pretty remote and wife and family can be a great practical help, not just a comfort. But, seeing it's only temporary, you leave for Port Partageuse in two days. From there you'll be shipped off to Janus. Welcome to Commonwealth Lighthouse Service. Proud to have a man who served our country with such distinction amongst our ranks.

  • Isabel Graysmark: I can tell you lots about me. My mom taught me the piano.

    Tom Sherbourne: You still play?

    Isabel Graysmark: Not that well. My brothers used to tease me awfully when I played. I lost both of them - in the War. Just must be so confusing for my parents. I mean, if a wife loses a husband she becomes a widow, but if a parent loses a child there's no special label for it. You're still a mother or father. Even if you no longer have a child. Sometimes I wonder, if I'm still technically a sister now when my brothers are gone.
