There are not so many excuses for love. If it cannot be fulfilled, it only means that love is not enough.

What if I don't remember anything? What will you do?
I will be here and I will never leave you.
Can our love work miracles?
I think so. Because of love, I bring you back to me every time.
Do you think our love can take us away together?
I think our love can make us omnipotent.
...
they lay embracing on a single bed, held each other's hands, said "good night", and slept forever, leaving two serene expressions on their faces. Perfect and slightly sad. In the end there was endless silence. Language is redundant.

If the ending of the fairy tale is so beautiful, why is there so much sentimentality?
Seeing the love that has not changed even after reaching the end of life is filled with a strong tragic color.
Such an eternal love brings tears to my eyes.

Fairy tales are beautiful because they are out of reach.

She likes to wear red, the color so ebullient, just like her character.
He was a happy and carefree person before, but he became silent and decadent after losing her.
He promised to rebuild a manor for her, with a room facing the stream for her to paint.
He wrote 365 letters, all of which were detained privately by her mother.
He went through a war and she fell in love again.
She saw the bearded man and the manor behind him in the newspaper, and she couldn't help flying to find him.
They quarrel in the heavy rain, and finally realize that they still love each other.

This is an ordinary love story. Everyone will experience love, but not everyone will have a firm and unswerving love for each other.
There are not so many excuses for love. If it cannot be fulfilled, it only means that love is not enough.

The Notebook quotes

  • Young Noah: It's not about following your heart and it's not about keeping your promises. It's about security.

    Young Allie: What's that supposed to mean?

    Young Noah: [yelling] Money. He's got a lot of money!

    Young Allie: You smug bastard. I hate you for saying that.

    Young Noah: You're bored Allie. You're bored and you know it. You wouldn't be here if there wasn't something missing.

    Young Allie: You arrogant son of a bitch.

    Young Noah: Would you just stay with me?

    Young Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fightin'

    Young Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.

    Young Allie: So what?

    Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.

    Young Allie: What easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.

    Young Noah: Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want? What do you WANT?

    Young Allie: It's not that simple.

    Young Noah: What... do... you... want? God damn it what do you want?

    Young Allie: I have to go now.

  • Young Noah: If you're a bird I'm a bird.
