Quotes from The Holiday
This was what Iris (Kate Winslet) said to Miles (Jack Black) in The Holiday that I found it to be very close to my/our hearts.
I know it's hard to believe people when they say, "I know how you feel."
But I actually know how you feel.
You see...
I was seeing someone back in London. We worked for the same newspaper.
And then I found out that he was also seeing this other girl, Sarah from the Circulation Department on the 19th floor.
Turned out that he wasn't in love with me like I thought.
What I'm trying to say is...
I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible.
And how it can actually ache in places that you didn’t know you had inside you.
And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get...
Or gyms you join.
Or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends.
You still go to bed every night going over every detail
And wonder what you did wrong or how, you could have misunderstood
And how in the hell in that brief moment you could think that you were that happy?
And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door.
And after all that...
However long "all that" may be...
You'll go somewhere new and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again.
And little pieces of your soul will finally come back.
And all that fuzzy stuff...
Those years of your life that you wasted...that will eventually begin to fade.
