❛ This bravery of yours, it may save us yet. ❜ @ belle
“ I CAN ONLY HOPE SO, ELLA. ” truth be told, belle has far less faith in herself than her friend. the forest is cold in the night, sticking the thick tears to her cheeks. these trees have memories, faint reels of wolf attacks and horses, carriages and blood. she has to grit her teeth to keep from collapsing into the ashen snow. there would be time to mourn the past if and when they ensured a future. she takes ella’s hand in hers. the girl is the only love belle has left. france has grown strange and awful behind her, but she has come too far to turn back now.
“ there is a path behind the ledge up ahead, it leads to belgium if my memory serves. ” she’d spent enough time pouring over the dusty maps in the library. that had to count for something. “ can you climb ? ”

MOVIE STARTERS VOL.13 THE FOUNTAIN DARREN ARONOFSKY
❛ All these years, all these memories, there was you. You pulled me through time. ❜
❛ These times are dark, but every shadow, no matter how deep, is threatened by morning light. ❜
❛ There’s no hope for us here. There is only death. ❜
❛ Our bodies are prisons for our souls. Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement. But fear not. All flesh decays. Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul. ❜
❛ What do you want? Leave me, leave me alone! Please, please. ❜
❛ Death is a disease, it’s like any other. And there’s a cure. A cure - and I will find it. ❜
❛ Will you stay with me tonight? ❜
❛ I’m sorry, for you there is only death. But our destiny is life! ❜
❛ Together we will live forever. ❜
❛ Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do. ❜
❛ I don’t know! I’m trying! I don’t know how! ❜
❛ Death as an act of creation. ❜
❛ Perhaps it is a trap. Then what do we do? ❜
❛ What if you could live forever? ❜
❛ I’m not afraid anymore. ❜
❛ You’ll make it. I won’t let you die. You’re strong enough. ❜
❛ It seems we struggle for a lifetime to become whole. Few of us ever do. ❜
❛ Most of us end up going out the same way we came in – kicking and screaming. Most of us don’t have the strength – or the conviction. Most of us don’t want to face our fears. ❜
❛ If we do nothing, he dies. ❜
❛ You’re reckless and you’re losing perspective. ❜
❛ I feel different. Every moment. Each one. ❜
❛ You won’t believe me. You’ve got to see for yourself. ❜
❛ Queen of nothing but her sins. ❜
❛ Soon they will be powerless against me. ❜
❛ Your queen seeks immortality on Earth - a false paradise. ❜
❛ All life must be judged. ❜
❛ The shame is too much. I’ve failed. ❜
❛ I, for one, am not ready to die yet. Are you? ❜
❛ This bravery of yours, it may save us yet. ❜
❛ There’s hope. There’s real hope. ❜
