"What a collection of scars you have. Never forget who gave you the best of them, and be grateful, our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real."

"My dearest Sixsmith, I shot myself through the roof of my mouth this morning, with Vyvyan Ayrs’ Luger. A true suicide is a paced disciplined certainty. People pontificate, ‘suicide is a coward’s act’. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Suicide takes tremendous courage."

"Belief, like fear, or love, is a force to be understood as we understand the theory of relativity, and principles of uncertainty. Phenomenon that determines the course of our lives. Yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Yesterday, I believed I would never have done what I did today. These forces, that often remake time and space, that can shape and alter who we imagine ourself to be, begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. Our lives, and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment. At each point of intersection, each encounter, suggests a new potential direction. Proposition, I have fallen in love with Louisa Ray. Is this possible? I just met her, and yet, I feel like something important has happened to me."

Our lives are not our own

From womb to tomb,

We are bound to others

Past and present

And by each crime

And every kindness

We birth our futures.

Cloud Atlas was one of the strangest movies I’ve ever seen, but it was also extremely compelling and I loved it.

I don’t think I could’ve said it better.
