I Had Actually Read That Book Years Before And When The Script Came Around I Found The Book In My Library

“I had actually read that book years before and when the script came around I found the book in my library and I realised I had underlined everything Lisa. I knew her. I felt that she was honest, I felt that she was honest in a world where a lot of things were not. That she could push everybody else’s buttons and nobody could push hers. And I did see that as a very sad thing. She wanted so desperately for somebody to call her out, to talk to her honestly, to be direct with her, to have a real connection in life.”

— Angelina Jolie on Lisa Rowe from Girl, Interrupted (1999)

“You attend the funeral. You grieve. Then you continue with your life. And at times the fact of her absence will hit you like a blow to the chest, and you will weep. But this will happen less and less as time goes on. She is dead. You are alive. So live.”

— Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

“She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.”

— Neil Gaiman, Stardust

Lost In Translation (2003) directed by Sofia Coppola

“You know, she was four years old the first time she beat me at hide and seek. Four. I was looking for her for hours. When I finally found her she just smiled. You know, that Effy smile that means ‘you don’t know me at all, and you never will’. See that’s a kind of magic. She’s so good at concealing things… hiding, avoiding. But I do know her. And I know that she has got so much love in her heart. But the thought of letting it out, showing her cards, scares her to death.”

— Anthea Stonem, Skins
