Quote from Shop Girl (the movie)

[netmouse]

Ray Porter: As Ray Porter watches Mirabelle walk away he feels a loss. How is it possible, he thinks, to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance so that when she was gone he would not miss her. Only then does he realize that wanting part of her and not all of her had hurt them both, and how he cannot justify his actions except that... well... it was life.



(it's a neat movie, especially visually)

So sad. The more I live, the more I realize that love, in all the forms I experience it (romantic, platonic, maternal), is about surrendering to it. So much easier said than done.
