No matter how ordinary you are, there is still a chance to have your own little happiness. Even if the female worker is ordinary, she found her happiness at the age of 35; even if the milkman is ordinary, she is diligent and optimistic enough to protect a family and be a good husband and father.

Each of us is also an ordinary person. There will not be many great things in life (great is indefinable), but there are still ups and downs, bittersweet, and these are the wonderful things in the ordinary , is the essential meaning of life.

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • Ethel Briggs: I could have married a deep-sea diver.

    Ernest Briggs: Well, why didn't ya?

    Ethel Briggs: Because I didn't love him.

  • [first lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.
