Soundtracks: Loneliness

Loneliness in a crowd of people
was the worst kind of loneliness,
but she couldn't help it.

Ghosts

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
Johnny Cash - "If You Could Read My Mind"

Memories

"Memories are like bullets.
Some whiz by and only spook you.
Others tear you open and leave you in pieces"

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
(...)
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
Moody Blues “Nights in White Satin”

Common

Noah: I am nothing special;
just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life.
There are no momuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten.
But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived;
I've loved another with all my heart and soul;
and to me, this has always been enough.
The Notebook

That is enough.

There are still a few men who love desperately (3)

Don Juan: There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio.
What is sacred?
Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living for,
and what is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same: only love.
Don Juan DeMarco

Revenge

Patrick: If you truly want revenge you have to be hard.
You have to be dishonest and devious and cold.
You can't let people see what's really in your heart.

Damaged People (7)

Kayleigh: Do you want me to just cry on your shoulder
and tell you everything's all better now?
Well fuck you, Evan! Nothing's all better, okay?
Nothing ever gets better.
You know, if I was so wonderful Evan, why didn't you call me?
Why did you just leave me here to rot?
