The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (film)

"Its funny how sometimes the people we remember the least make the greatest impression on us"

"I think, right there and then, she realized none of us is perfect forever."

"Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life."

"Its a funny thing about comin home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. Youll realize whats changed is you."

"If only one thing had happened differently: if that shoelace hadnt broken; or that delivery truck had moved moments earlier; or that package had been wrapped and ready, because the girl hadnt broken up with her boyfriend; or that man had set his alarm and got up five minutes earlier; or that taxi driver hadnt stopped for a cup of coffee; or that woman had remembered her coat, and got into an earlier cab, Daisy and her friend wouldve crossed the street, and the taxi wouldve driven by. But life being what it is — a series of intersecting lives and incidents, out of anyones control — that taxi did not go by, and that driver was momentarily distracted, and that taxi hit Daisy, and her leg was crushed."

"Did I ever tell you I been struck by lightning seven times? Once when I was just sittin in my truck just minding my own business."

"Some people were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people — dance."

"Sometimes were on a collision course, and we just dont know it. Whether its by accident or by design, theres not a thing we can do about it."

"I know the circumstances and Ive accepted that. Loving you is worth all of it."

"Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss."

"For what its worth: its never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. Theres no time limit, start 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. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life youre proud of, and if you find that youre not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

"My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances. While everyone else was aging, I was gettin younger... all alone."
