Quotes from my fave movie

Mr. Edward Magorium: [to Molly, about dying]
When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written?
He's written "He dies." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor,
no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of
dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up
with "He dies." And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself
overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know
it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words
"He dies." but because of the life we saw prior to the words
.
[pause, walks over to Molly]

Mr. Edward Magorium: I've lived all five of my acts, Mahoney, and I am
not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that you turn
the page, continue reading... and let the next story begin. And if anyone
asks what became of me, you relate my life in all its wonder,
and end it with a simple and modest "He died."

Molly Mahoney: [starting to sob] I love you.

Mr. Edward Magorium: I love you, too.
[picks Molly up, sighs heavily]

Mr. Edward Magorium: Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.

- From Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium-

Yes yes cell group I know that the movie didnt impact you much
but if you watch in a more quiet environment like the cinema
or at home you will find it very inspirational.

Sometimes to give myself a bit more confidence, I will repeat
these words over and over again. "Your life is an occasion. Rise to it." :)
