Fallen Angels (1995)
“We rub shoulders with many people everyday. Some may become close friends, or confidants. That’s why I’m always optimistic. Sometimes it hurts. Not to worry – I try to stay happy. That night, I saw that woman again. I knew we’d never be friends or confidants. We’d let too many chances pass us by. Nothing happened, there was no chemistry. Maybe it was the weather, but that night I found her very alluring.”

In the Mood for Love (2000)
“In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn’t want to share… you know what they did? … They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever.”
