"I've fallen in love. I'm an ordinary woman. I didn't think such violent things could happen to ordinary people”.

“I saw us traveling far away together, all the places I've always longed to go.”

When you've got a stack of photocopying to do at work

[steviefuckingnicks]

This can't last. This misery can't last. I must remember that and try to control myself. Nothing lasts really. Neither happiness nor despair. Not even life lasts very long. There'll come a time in the future when I shan't mind about this anymore, when I can look back and say quite peacefully and cheerfully how silly I was. No, no, I don't want that time to come ever. I want to remember every minute, always, always to the end of my days.

Laura Jesson in Brief Encounter (1945)

It's no use pretending it hasn't happened cause it has. Yes it has. I don't want to pretend anything either to you or to anyone else. But from now on, I shall have to. That's what's wrong. Don't you see? That's what spoils everything. That's why we must stop, here and now, talking like this. We're neither of us free to love each other. There's too much in the way. There's still time, if we control ourselves and behave like sensible human beings. There's still time.

Laura Jesson, Brief Encounter, 1945.
