Benjamin Button: My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances. While, everyone else was agin’, I was gettin’ younger… all alone

Benjamin Button: I was thinking how nothing last, and what a shame that is.

Daisy: Some things last.

“You never know what’s coming for you”

“We are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss”

“You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went, you can curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.”

Daisy: You’re so young.

Benjamin Button: Only on the outside.

Daisy: Are you sick?

Benjamin Button: They said I was gonna die soon but, maybe not.

Daisy: You’re odd.

“Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward.”

“You never know what’s coming for you.”

“It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what’s changed, is you.”

“I want to remember us, just as we are now.”

“I look a lot older than I really am.”

Daisy: “Make love to me?”

Benjamin: “Absolutely!”

For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit… start whenever you want… you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

-Benjamin Button

“We were meant to lose people. How else would we know how important they are?”

“Have I ever told you I’ve been struck by lightning seven times?”

“Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people can dance.”

“It’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be… I hope you live a life you’re proud of. And if you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

“Did I ever tell you I was struck by lightning 7 times?”

“When you return after being away, you realize that the only thing that has changed, is you.”

 

“Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..”

“Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pag tinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon.”

“Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.”

“Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.”

“Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.”

“Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.”

“Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.”

“Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din.”

“Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.”

“Ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko.”

“Hinahanap mo nga ba ako o ang kawalan ko?”

“Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka.”

”Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: Magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!”

“Pakawalan mo ang mga bagay na makakasakit sa’yo kahit na pinapasaya ka nito. Huwag mong hintayin yung araw na sakit na lang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.”

“Pag di ka mahal ng taong mahal mo, huwag kang magagalit. Kasi may mga tao rin na mahal na mahal ka pero hindi mo sila makuhang mahalin. Kaya kwits lang.”

“Kapag pinag-aagawan ka malamang maganda o gwapo ka. Sumama ka sa mabuti, hindi sa mabait. Sa marunong hindi sa matalino. Sa mahal ka, hindi sa gusto ka.”

“Hiwalayan mo na kung hindi ka masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kung hindi pagkukusa.”

Next time, if a man leaves you alone, punch him okay? -Soo-hyuk

I told you you’re my only friend and not to make me lonely, I thought to myself as I was leaving in Paris. I’m leaving for good. I’m going to Korea or wherever it is, because someone is there. Because that someone is my everything. -Soo-hyuk

Why does it have to be her? Isn’t there a better woman? -Tae-young

Remember this? You gave this to me. It has 20 songs in it. Do you know how many times I listened to this? 6 times 20 songs. I was sitting next to uncle’s car all night long. I’m tired of waiting, I’m not waiting anymore -Soo-hyuk

Lean on me. Lean on me and cry all you want. Just cry -Soo-hyuk

I will like you until the day I die. I will never change -Soo-hyuk

 

There’s a saying that there’s no reason for love. It’s a lie. How could someone love for no reason? I can tell you at least 100 reasons why I like you. Your voice, your fingers, your scent, your shadow. I even like your amnesia. I like everything about you. That’s my reason. -Soo-hyuk

 

I started to get lonely since last night. Let’s not be sarcastic. I know where your heart is, but don’t go any further. Take your time, it wouldn’t hurt and then decide who’s the right one for you. I hope it’s me you choose. -Soo-hyuk

You know why I’m always carrying this? It’s because I have to wait for someone. Do you remember how many songs were stored in this? 20 songs but now there are 40. Because I need to wait longer. 4 minuted for 1 song. 40 for 10. 160 for 40. I listen to this for a few times and I can spend the whole day. -Soo-hyuk

For making you lose your smile. You weren’t like this before, you were always smiling but now you’re not anymore. I think I made you this way. I’m sorry. -Tae-young

The best thing one can do for someone who loves her is, or course, loving him, loving each other, right? But if she doesn’t love him, she shouldn’t leave any hope for him. Because even the smallest hope can be a tremendous torture to him. That’s why it’s called hope torture. -Tae-young

He may not be the right person for you but he could mean the life to someone. I think you should let him go. -Yang mi

I like Tae-young, much more than you think. I gave so many things for you in my life, but I don’t want to give up Tae-young. I want you to let her go. You have everything, my mother and your company. You don’t have to ask for anything. You don’t know what pain is, what waiting it. You don’t know any of that, but I do. You can never be a good man. Your life is too byst. Tae-young will feel lonely. But I only got Tae-young in my life. I love her. Please, uncle. -Soo-hyuk

I really liked that piece of pottery. It’s because I kept it close to me. Now it’s broken because I kept it close to me. -Ki-joo’s father

There isn’t anymore. It’s over. Someone took her from me. -Soo-hyuk

You’ve given back everything to me. My heart and this cellphone. But I have nothing to give back to you. I never got anything from you -Soo-hyuk

Have you ever loved a woman without a reason? You just look at her and you suddenly fall in love. Well, I have. There wasn’t any reason when I started liking her. But after that her everything were my reasons. I liked everything. But I lied to her, I lied that I didn’t like her anymore. -Soo-hyuk

Why didn’t you look at me then? You could’ve seen me before you saw him. If you saw me before him, I would have been there for you. What an excuse. We weren’t that close, why should you like me? And why should I like you? We weren’t even that close. We didn’t do anything. Nothing. -Soo-hyuk

People who love someone must all hurt -Soo-hyuk

I am not a Cinderella. I am just a woman in love with a man. The fact that he is rich is just a part of who he is such as being a good singer or having a pretty smile, they are all parts of him. -Tae-young

The two people I love left me nothing but wounds, so you have to live happily. -Soo-hyuk

Right now. The times I had with you are the happiest moments of my life. -Ki-Joo

He won’t come, you’re only hurting your neck -Keon

 

Let me stay like this for a while. I’m too tired. Maybe I talked too much, I feel empty inside. Just for 5 minutes. No, 10 minutes. Mom, why did you only like uncle? No one in this world can split his or her love. You only have one heart and you gave it all to uncle. Why not me? -Soo-hyug

I’ll never move away from anyone from now on especially in front of uncle. I’ll take you I’ll take you away from him. And I’ll never let you go. Should I say it again? I’ll never let you go. You are mine. -Soo-hyug

I don’t need a friend, I’d rather be alone. -Soo-hyug

Why is it love if it hurts me? -Soo-hyug

Why is it not? I’m hurt so much. I can’t bear it. I’m going crazy, is this not love? -Soo-hyug

How can someone be cool in frotn of love? There’s no one, especially those who lost it, they become hopeless and pathetic. That’s what I am. I have to cry ten times to smile once. That’s what I have to do. -Soo-hyug

I can’t. I can’t tell you anything. I lost everything because I didn’t love. But uncle has everything because he has love, whether that is from you or my mom. You don’t know how it feels. You don’t know because you are in love. And uncle of course doesn’t either. He doesn’t know how it feels to be hurt all alone. -Soo-hyug

Then come back to me. You can’t, can you? Then I’ll have to make you. -Soo-hyug

Why didn’t you smile for once? If you did, if you did.. -Soo-hyug

All I needed was a moment. But you didn’t give me the chance. I didn’t know I was hurting you because I was hurt myself. I’m sorry. Please be happy. I wanted to say this to you, if I could I want to forget everything and I wish you could forget all your bad memories about me. -Soo-hyug

Can I say something silly? I’m letting you go because I love you. -Soo-hyug

 

 

 

 

1. Your ex-love gave her wedding invitation to you personally when suddenly a tear rolled down from your eyes. She wiped it immediately and said, “You’re the one I want to be with… but you didn’t fight for me.”

2. Up to where can you prove your love for someone? What will you do if that someone asks you, “Do you really love me?” Then tells you, “If yes, then set me free.”

3. “Time will come, you’ll get mad at me. Time will come, you’ll ask me why I left you. But when that time comes, this is all I have to say, “It’s not that I left you, it’s because you let me go.”

4. It’s hard to realize and to accept when the one you love has to go… it hurts but you say, “I can survive this.” But tears fall ’cause what you really mean is… “Oh God, what’s gonna happen to me?”5. “When I die, there’s just one thing I ask… I hope you’re there crying for me. But on the other hand, never mind. Why? Coz I don’t wanna see you cry, on the arms of someone else.”

6. “I wish I never met him. I wish I didn’t trust and hope too much. I wish I didn’t put myself up just to get hurt. But when I remember how much he made me happy, I go back to being stupid.”

7. “I was first hurt by someone I really love. I didn’t want to give up, even if it hurts. But one day… I did. Why? Because I got so tired and exhausted. I realized how hard it is to love someone who’s not meant for you.”

8. “I fought for you because I love you. I didn’t give up on you even though it was difficult. But when you said to me, “Sorry, I’m tired,” my heart was shattered. Not because I saw everything I worked for go down the drain, but because you left me fighting alone.”

9. Letting go doesn’t always mean, “It’s over.” Breaking up would not mean, “I’ve had enough.” Instead, it’s as good as saying, “I don’t want to see you sad anymore, go on, you deserve someone better.”

10. “I feel sad when I don’t get to see you. I get hurt each time you ignore me. I’m jealous when I see you with somebody else. Gosh! I want to keep you all to myself. But then I realized… I don’t have the right. Coz you’re not mine.”11. “Sometimes, even though you already love someone, it’s still possible to fall in love with somebody else. If that happens to you, and you’re forced to choose… follow your heart and choose the person who you’ll be happy with. Even if it’s not me, as long as you’re happy.”

12. “I loved you though I know it’s wrong. I waited for you for so long. I gave you my all until there’s nothing left for myself. I did everything for you. But is it enough for you to love me? Or is it enough for me finally give up?”13. “I got tired of waiting for you… I don’t wanna get hurt anymore. So I’m gonna stop hoping and I’ll try to move on… but I’ll walk away slowly… real slow… so if by any chance you wanna stop me, you can still catch up.”

14. I’ve done the bravest thing in my life. I let go of someone I love so much. But as I did the bravest thing, I never felt weaker. All I did was cry and wish that, “hope I was never that brave.”15. Loving someone can sometimes be exhausting. No matter how much you love a person, time will come when you have to give that person up, not because you don’t love him anymore, but because you’re hurting too much coz he can’t take care of you.16. The world can be so **** confusing. You wait for the one you love. The one you don’t love, waits for you. But the saddest thing of all… you love him, he loves you, but fate doesn’t want you to be together.

17. Did you ever love someone but you had to let them go, you thought they don’t love you, never cared. One day, you see that person again, already with a kid. You ask them, what’s the name of the kid, they smiled and said, “Same as yours.”

18. When you walked by, I told my friend, “I loved that guy.” My friend asked me, “So why did you let him go?” I answered, “If he were MINE, do you think I’ll ever let him go?”19. When I was a child, I wanted to grow up and fall in love. Now that I’ve grown up and falling, how I wish I was still a child… coz it’s easier to heal a broken knee than a broken heart!

20. People say that love is the best gift anyone could give and have… my heart was crushed and I asked myself: “isn’t it tragic when I’ve got so much love to give, yet no one seems to want it?”21. Sometimes there would come a time when we have to stop loving someone. Why? Not because the person started hating us, but because we ran out of reasons to fight for what we feel.22. “Teach me how to be strong before you go. Teach me how to believe if you ever lie. Teach me how to control my tears before I start to cry. And please, teach me how to make you stay before you say goodbye.”

23. It’s hard to live alone. It’s harder to choose someone to love. But the hardest part of loving is to admit that you’ve fallen for someone who can never be yours.

24. When you fall in love, don’t give everything without leaving something for yourself… someday, somehow, it would be too late for you to realize that you’ve given all for the wrong one, without saving something for the right one…

25. “I don’t run from you, I walk away slowly. And it kills me because you don’t care enough to stop me.”26. Life is ironic! Sometimes you keep on crying even if the guy neglects you, but you get surprised one day that just when you stopped crying and found someone new, that’s when he starts crying over losing you…

27. Love that we can not have is the one that lasts the longest, hurts the deepest and feels the strongest.28. The worst feeling isn’t being lonely. It’s being forgotten by someone you could never forget.29. It hurts when the one you love left you and said, “You deserve someone better.” Then all you can say is… “Maybe I do.” But deep inside you’re crying coz you know you can’t find “BETTER” when you already found the “BEST.

 

I’m not about self pity. Your love did me wrong, so I’m moving on.

True love? I used to believe it existed, but when you’ve had your heart torn out and thrown on the floor, you just don’t care anymore.

I had a heart and it was true. It fled from me and went to you. Be kind to it as I have done, for you have two and I have none.

Try not to wonder about what might have been, ‘cause that was then and we have taken different roads. We can’t go back again, there’s no use giving in. And there’s no way to know, what might have been.

Someone can walk into your life and it is not until after they walk out that you realize that they were even there.

Love can tear you apart… it can kill you. But if you’re lucky, it can put you back together. – Wonder Years.

I guess I thought you’d be here forever. Another illusion I chose to create. Don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. And I found out just a little too late. – Chicago

It hurts to see you walk away. For admit it or not, you were an important part of my life and the time we shared will forever be a part of me. So even though I realize that it was never meant to be, still, it hurts.

You’re too many tears too late to ever get back in my arms.

How could an Angel break my heart? Why didn’t he catch my falling star? I wish I didn’t wish so hard. Maybe I wished our love apart. – Toni Braxton

If you leave, don’t look back.

Someday you’ll look and we’ll be gone… but tomorrow may bring rain, so I’ll follow the sun. – U2

I’m not gonna cry. I’m waving goodbye and I know this time you got nothing on me.

If he wanted the world to be a happier place, he’d lift my tears up off of my face. And if he wanted the world to keep spinning around, he’d pick the pieces of my heart up off of the ground.

You have been the treasure in my hand. You have been the one who always stood beside me. So unaware, I foolishly believed that you would always be there. But then there will come a day, when I will turn my head and you will slip away.

You wondered how you’d make it through. I wondered what was wrong with you. Because how could you give your love to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the only thing you’re looking for, is the one thing you can’t see. – Vanessa Williams

I think I let her slip away. Kind of like when you try and hold water in your hands and you close your fingers as tight as possible, but yet the water leaks out.

Ask me how many times my heart has been broken and I will tell you to look in the sky and count the stars.

I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I’d see you again. – James Taylor

If you lost your love for me, you never let it show.

You said you didn’t need me in your life. I guess you were right.

Didn’t we almost have it all?

Loving is so short and forgetting so long.

Oh, I shouldn’t care or wonder where and how you are. But I can’t hide this hurt inside my broken heart. I’m fighting back emotions that I’ve never fought before, ‘cause I’m not supposed to love you anymore.

I can’t cry hard enough for you to hear me.

The tears I wish to wipe away, will run unchecked for another day. Alas, that is the price I pay. – Mike Archer

No, I can’t erase the wrong I’ve done but I hope you can give me another chance. Because if you were me, you would want the same and I’d give that chance to you.

You love to hate the one who loves the one you hate to love.

Even if my heart should call out your name in the rain. Even if these arms should want to embrace you again. And even if I’m all cried out and no longer in pain… I’ll never fall in love that way again.

Once upon a time I was falling in love, but now I’m only falling apart…
