"....Its not for some of us, for you and for me, to try to live like other people. You think you can sometimes, but there's always the world to remind you. All the things that other people take for granted, you have got to make up your mind and your heart they're not for you. You've got to find something else to take their place"

WOW, hearing that and repeating it brought tears to my eyes. Imagine the lifelong dream of finding someone to love and the hope to one day be loved going completely out the window with just one paragraph. Great scene!

I can relate! it IS a powerful scene and I can't even imagine someone writing that today.
My favorite scene is when Natwick tells them, "what is there to be sorry about, really?" and she tells them the "secret" of the cottage is that love gives you a gift of sight not granted to others.
I really think this movie is so special. I wish it were on DVD!!!

Yes it's powerful movie. That scene was so incredible. The movie in general is tear jerker.
