Like that! If you don’t speak your mind nobody else will know you on a deeper level.
True! It’s a wonderful film too.
A beautiful line you have chosen from a wonderful movie. It’s a refreshing take on ‘an Alien movie’ and I liked how it focused on the character’s too. It was a quiet but captivating movie.
Captivating is the word. It was a shame it got so ignored at the Oscars.
Love it…. I am still not sure if Fate determines our action (hence Life). I believe in freedom & the choices we make in our lives too… But at times, I believe that what happens is what is meant to be. Great quote 😀
I think a lot of people known what you mean. That question is far too profound for most of us to have a simple answer.
Quite right! 😀 Happy rest of your day 😉
If I spoke my mind and hearr more, I’m pretty sure I get punched in the face a lot. Ha ha. Well chosen quote
The more honest you are the more people will like you. Or should ha.

A real thought provoking film in the best way. Amy Adams was the soulful, beating heart of it.
She was. Surprised she wasn’t nominated. And I love films based on short stories. I wish more were.
I love Amy Adams. She says so much with her eyes.
