Famous quotes from movie The Hours

You cannot find peace by avoiding life. (Virginia Woolf)

I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then. (Clarissa Vaughn)

Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more. (Virginia Woolf)
