“- Mr. Darcy: I have made the mistake of being honest with you.
- Elizabeth Bennet: Honesty is a greatly overrated virtue. Silence in this case would have been more agreeable.”
Laurence Olivier - Mr. Darcy
Greer Garson - Elizabeth Bennet

“At night! I think of my piano in its ocean grave, and sometimes of myself floating above it. Down there everything is so still and silent that it lulls me to sleep. It is a weird lullaby and so it is; it is mine.”
Holly Hunter - Ada
