“DON. I mean ... what do you want, Rosalind? -
ROSALIND. So many things: to wake up without feeling the
weight of the day pressing down, to fall asleep more easily, without
wondering what it is that's keeping me awake, to eat more beets
and also turnips, to be kissed, to feel important, to learn how to be
okay being with other people, and also how to be alone. To be a
child again, held up and admired, the world full of endless future.
To be kissed.To feel every day what it would be to stand at the
summit of a mountain in Wales, or Switzerland, or America, looking
out over the world on a late afternoon with this man sitting across
from me. Or to feel it once.”

“MAURICE. (Matter-of-factly.) It's the loneliest pursuit in the
world. Science. Because there either are answers or there aren't.
There either is a landscape that stretches before you or there isn't.
And when there isn't, when you're left in the darkness of an empty
city at night, you have only yourself.”
― Anna Ziegler

“ROSALIND. You know ... I think there must come a point in life when you realize you can't begin again. That you've made the
decisions you've made and then you live with them or you spend your whole life in regret.
MAURICE. And I have spent my whole life in regret. (Beat.)
ROSALIND. (Sadly.) Well then perhaps we should have seen the play together. Or gone to lunch.
MAURICE. Would that have changed things?
ROSALIND. We'll never know, will we?”

“ROSALIND. I do love the shapes of things, you know. I love them
even before they mean something.”
