“Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward.”
Well Tiffiney and I finally got around to seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button this last Saturday after missing it when it first came out and then it being sold out on another occasion. We may be late to the party, but we saved money in the end by going to the Cinefour theater. Anyway I wanted to share this quote from the movie that is spoken near the end of the film. I really liked it and it puts the things that are important in life in perspective, at least for me anyway. It will definitely be a part of my life forever…
pause for a second and then read:
“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.
There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it.
And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you’re proud of.
If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”
*NOTE it reminds me of Baz Luhrman's song/poem "Everbody's Free (o Wear Sunscreen)"

I've been kind of wanting to see that show, so thanks for convincing me to go to it!
I've been on the fence about this movie too.... maybe I'd better go see it :) What a great quote!
Loved the show and love the quote. Thanks.
Awesome quote. Archie and I will have to see the movie soon. It's a bit hard to get out now that we have a newborn!
