"No, I believe you capable of everything great and good in your married lives. I believe you equal to every important exertion, and to every domestic forbearance, so long as--if I may be allowed the expression--so long as you have an object. I mean while the woman you love lives, and lives for you. All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one; you need not covet it), is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone." -Anne Elliot.
The movie Persuasion, also a book written by the famously known Jane Austen, is a very good movie to me. Even if it may be an old movie taking the time period of maybe the early 1800s, it is a romance novel giving a solid message of sticking to your morals and values, and waiting for hopeless love. Anne Elliot is a silent but desperate woman who after she almost breaks the heart of the one she loves, still had waited for him for 8 1/2 years. I am a sap for any movie that consists of a heated chemistry, but I truly love this movie. This movie teaches you that the wait is all worth it, and that treasuring your values really hands you the most precious teasure, in the end that is.
It may not be as best as Pride and Prejudice, or Sense and Sensibility, but I do find this movie quite extradordinary. I could relate to dear Anne in so many ways. The quote above simply speaks all truth of what I stand by. Yet doubt always fills my head confusing my heart. This quote is confusing to me but makes sense which makes me want to keep rereading this quote.
