Midnight in Paris (dir. Woody Allen, 2011)
“I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing. And when the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face … it is because they love with sufficient passion to push death out of their minds. Until it returns, as it does to all men. And then you must make really good love again.”
