Never return

This is a noble love.
Why do you have to forbear, why not fight, do you not love enough... This kind of question is not at the same level as this film.
Although not everyone can do it, but not everyone has to do it. That era and spiritual temperament have passed.
There is no need to sigh. It is not to fulfill the principle and achieve the beauty of tragedy with restraint and forbearance. It is not that what is not obtained is the best. It is simple and thankful for such existence.
Understanding the level of love is not only a struggle between spirit and body, but also a struggle between reason and emotion. It is not only sweet, sour, bitter, wronged, fierce, and plain, but also mellow.
No need to pursue, no need to dream back, never return.
In "Sense and Emotion", there is still a cry to vent the forbearance before. Here, there is only staring and staring, clenching and then letting go. Heart calmly corrected.
You finally understand that it is not the crying after a broken relationship, it is not a hard barrier, it is not a game of fate, and love does not necessarily stand by.
Sometimes, not loving someone is not because you don't love him.
Such an unspeakable
fate that has to be endured .

The Remains of the Day quotes

  • Miss Kenton: [about a new housemaid] You don't like having pretty girls on the staff, I've noticed.

    [teasing]

    Miss Kenton: Might it be that our Mr Stevens fears distraction? Can it be that our Mr Stevens is flesh and blood after all and doesn't trust himself?

    Stevens: [with the faintest trace of a smile] You know what I'm doing, Miss Kenton? I'm placing my thoughts elsewhere as you chatter away.

    Miss Kenton: ...then why is that guilty smile still on your face?

    Stevens: Oh it's not a guilty smile. I'm simply amused by the sheer nonsense you sometimes talk.

    Miss Kenton: It *is* a guilty smile. You can hardly bear to look at her. That's why you didn't want to take her on, she's too pretty.

    Stevens: Well, you must be right Miss Kenton, you always are.

  • Miss Kenton: I don't know what my future is. Ever since Katherine, my daughter, got married last year, my life has been empty. The years stretch before me and if only I knew how to fill them. But, I would like to be useful again.
