Quotes from the Movie Away from Her

I think all we can aspire to in this situation is a little bit of grace.

Fiona Anderson

I'd like to make love, and then I'd like you to go. Because I need to stay here and if you make it hard for me, I may cry so hard I'll never stop.

Fiona Anderson

I think I may be beginning to disappear.

Fiona Anderson

You don't want to just get a sense of the place? I don't want to make this decision alone.

Grant

You're not making this decision alone, Grant. I've already made up my mind.

Fiona

So as you can see, we get a lot of natural light.

Madeleine

Well, once again, Nurse Kristy is taking me back to the second floor. The area to my right are the elevators, and as we go on down the hall, there's a man with a broken heart, broken in a thousand pieces. Well, we'll go to Madeleine's office, past the lunch room. Hopefully, they're serving right now. The cannelloni was cold yesterday, but let's see what it's doing today. Let's have - I gotta have some Cokes again. That's what I'm gonna do.

Frank

I'm thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just decide. Things aren't ever what you hoped they'd be. Not ever, for anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who... accept what comes their way.

Marian

I was pretty mad about it. But now... looking at what came my way... [sigh] I think I could be the other kind of person. Quite the philosopher, huh?

Marian

You mean she proposed to you? Well, that's lovely, that's what I think. How'd she do it?

Kristy

She hadn't planned it necessarily. We were in Tobermory, waiting for the ferry to Manitoulin, and it was miserable and rainy, and she was in a good mood. And, she didn't want any part of my sour mood.

Grant

Well, she said: "Do you think it'd be fun... Do you think it'd be fun if we got married?"

Grant

I took her up on it. I shouted yes. [pause] I never wanted to be away from her. She had the spark of life.

Grant
