Sabrina (1954)

Audrey Hepburn

“Dearest Father,

We shall be graduating next week, and I shall be getting my diploma. I want to thank you now for the two most wonderful years of my life. I shall always love you for sending me here. 

It is late at night, and someone across the way is playing "La Vie En Rose”. It is the French way of saying, “I am looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses,”  and it says everything I feel. I have learned so many things, Father. Not just how to make vichyssoise or calf’s head with sauce vinaigrette, but a much more important recipe. I have learned how to live… how to be in the world and of the world… and not just to stand aside and watch. And I will never, never again run away from life… or from love, either.

I am taking the plane home on Friday, Father. You needn’t pick me up at the airport. I’ll just take the Long Island Railroad and you can meet me at the train– the 4:15. If you’d have any difficulty recognising your daughter, I shall be the most sophisticated woman at the Glen Cove Station.“

If you want to talk about the people I envy, forget about millionaires and people with perfect lives.

The only people I envy with all my heart are those who got to see The Last Shadow Puppets live.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
