Virginia Woolf: A woman’s whole life in a single day, just one day. And in that day…is her whole life.

Virginia Woolf: This is my right; it’s the right of every human being. I choose not being suffocated in the suburbs but the violent jolt of the capital. That is my choice. The meanest yet even the lowest are allowed some say in the matter of her own prescription. By this she defines her humanity.

Kitty: These guys are something.
Laura: You can say that again. They deserved it, didn’t they? After what they’ve been through…
Kitty: What…that they deserve?
Laura: I don’t know, us I guess…all this…

Richard: Who is this party for?
Clarissa: What do you mean who is it for? What are you trying to say?
Richard: I’m not trying to say anything, I’m saying… I think I’m only staying alive to satisfy you.
Clarissa: Well, that’s what we do. That’s what people do, they stay alive for each other.
Richard: Just wait ‘til I die… then you’ll have to think of yourself. How are you gonna like that?

Laura: There are times when you don’t belong, and you think you’re going to kill yourself… I made a plan that I would leave my family when my second child was born, and that’s what I did. It would be wonderful to say you regretted it, it would be easy. But what does it mean? What does it mean to regret when you don’t have a choice? It’s what you can bear. It was death, and I chose life.

Virginia Woolf: To look life in the face, always to look life in the face. And to know it for what it is; at last, to love it for what it is, and then to put it away. Leonard, always the years between us, always the years… always the love, always the hours.

吳爾芙:女人的一生濃縮在一天中﹔只有一天,短短的一天就是她的一生。
---
吳爾芙: 這是我的權利,這是每個人的權利。我選擇不過郊區的寧靜生活而要大都市的強烈震撼。這是我的選擇,就算最無助、最可憐的病人都有權決定自己該過什麼生活。這是表達自我人性的方式。

凱蒂:這些男人真了不起。
蘿拉:一點也沒錯,他們打完仗回家,這是他們應得的。尤其吃了這麼多苦…」
凱蒂:他們應得什麼…?
蘿拉:不知道,我們吧…這一切…

理查:這是為誰開的派對?
克萊麗莎:你這是什麼意思?你到底想要說什麼?
理查:什麼也不想說,我只是說…我活著只是為了滿足你。
克萊麗莎:這就是人生。每個人都是這樣,他們為彼此而活下去。
理查:等我死了你就得面對你的人生,到時候你該怎麼逃避?
---
蘿拉:當你自覺這段人生再也走不下去,你只想自我了斷…我當時暗自決定生完第二胎就離家出走,而我也付諸實行了。若能說我有所懊悔,一切會容易得多;但那又有什麼意義呢?如果別無選擇,又有什麼好懊悔的?重點在於你能忍耐多久。原本的生活已走進死胡同,而我只不過選擇了活路。
--
吳爾芙:你要把人生看透徹,一定要真實地面對人生。瞭解人生的本質,當你終於瞭解人生,就能真正地熱愛生命,然後才捨得放下。記住我們在一起的這些年,永遠不要遺忘,永遠記得我們的愛;永誌不忘生命中的時時刻刻。
