“Everything’s pattern on pattern on pattern— the chairs and the seat coverings and the wallpapers and the costumes…. Something that we wanted to build into the opening section was that it was very verdant and over-textured, as opposed to the later section where things become a lot sparser.” — Joe Wright, Atonement (2007) director’s commentary.

“He could not be mistaken. There were no other eyes like those in the world. There was only one creature in the world who could concentrate for him all the brightness and meaning of life. It was she. It was Kitty.” ― Levin about Kitty

“there’s a little girl waiting in a garden. she’s going to wait a long while, so she’s going to need a lot of hope. go to her. tell her a story. tell her, that if she’s patient, the days are coming that she’ll never forget.”

I am very, very sorry for the terrible distress that I have caused you.

I got into acting when I was like nine years old. I joined a local drama workshop that was maybe an hour and a half every Monday night after school. I tried everything as a kid—football, ice hockey, tennis—and I got bored of those things very quickly. But the drama workshop was the one thing I never really got bored with, so I knew I was kind of onto something with that. And I really started to enjoy it as I got better at it.

I always think the most romantic books or films are the ones where the romance doesn’t happen, because it makes your heart ache so much watching it.

You need to do what’s right for you and what your instinct is telling you to do because only then can you be the best version of yourself.

I could more easily forgive his vanity had he not wounded mine.

Learning is the most important thing, no mater how you do it, or where you do it, or who you do it with.
