Hours, The

Vanessa Bell: Virginia!
Virginia Woolf: Leonard thinks it's the end of civilization: People who are invited at 4 and arrive at 2:30.
Vanessa Bell: Oh God!
Virginia Woolf: Barbarians!

Leonard Woolf: If I didn't know you better I'd call this ingratitude.
Virginia Woolf: I am ungrateful? You call ME ungrateful? My life has been stolen from me. I'm living in a town I have no wish to live in... I'm living a life I have no wish to live.... How did this happen?

Virginia Woolf: I'm dying in this town!
Leonard Woolf: If you were thinking clearly, Virginia, you would recall it was London that brought you low.
Virginia Woolf: If I were thinking clearly? If I were thinking clearly?
Leonard Woolf: We brought you to Richmond to give you peace.
Virginia Woolf: If I were thinking clearly, Leonard, I would tell you that I wrestle alone in the dark, in the deep dark, and that only I can know. Only I can understand my condition. You live with the threat, you tell me you live with the threat of my extinction. Leonard, I live with it too.

Virginia Woolf: This is my right; it is the right of every human being. I choose not the suffocating anesthetic of the suburbs, but the violent jolt of the Capital, that is my choice. The meanest patient, yes, even the very lowest is allowed some say in the matter of her own prescription. Thereby she defines her humanity. I wish, for your sake, Leonard, I could be happy in this quietness.
[pause]
Virginia Woolf: But if it is a choice between Richmond and death, I choose death.

Clarissa Vaughn: Alright Richard, do me one, simple favor: Come. Come sit..
Richard: I don't think I can make it to the party, Clarissa.
Clarissa Vaughn: Uh..You don't have to go to the party, you don't have to go to the ceremony, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. You can do as you like.
Richard: But I still have to face the hours, don't I? I mean, the hours after the party, and the hours after that...
Clarissa Vaughn: You do have good days still..You know you do!
Richard: Not really...I mean, it's kind of you to say so, but it's not really true.

Virginia Woolf: Leonard, you cannot find peace by avoiding life.

Clarissa Vaughn: That is what we do. That is what people do. They stay alive for each other.

Virginia Woolf: Leonard, always the years between us, always the years, always the love. Always the hours.

Clarissa Vaughn: I don't know what's happening to me. I seemed to be unraveling.

Richard: I don't think two people could have been happier than we've been.

Virginia Woolf: [Talking to her husband.] Leonard, I believe I may have a first sentence.

Virginia Woolf: Knowing life for what it is. Living life for what it is. Is the light of every human being.

Dan Brown: This life is what I always wanted. I had a vision of our happiness.

Julia: MOM! What's wrong?
Clarissa Vaughn: He gives me that look, as if to say your life is so trivial.
Julia: It only matters if you think its true.

[In 1921]
Virginia Woolf: [writing in her book] Mrs.Dallaway said "She would buy the flowers herself.

Dan Brown: Come to bed, LAURA BROWN!!

Virgina Woolf: I've been attended by doctors, who inform me OF MY OWN INTERESTS!

Richard: WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN LIFE?!! Just wait until I die, then you will have to think of yourself.
