Quotes6

  • Dr. Blake: These days most people have replaced almost all their emotions with fear, and everyone has dreams but only a few realize them - makes cowards of the rest of us.
  • Veronika: Even if the few are right?
  • Dr. Blake: Particularly then.
  • Dr. Blake: Until she finds out from some other doctor that she's perfectly healthy, she'll consider each day a miracle. Which in my view, it is.
  • Veronika: I hate you.
  • Dr. Blake: Really? Tell me about it.
  • Veronika: Fine. I hate your stupid desk. And I hate your ugly ties. And I hate your ridiculous socks. And I hate everyone locked up in this place. And I hate my parents for spending their very last penny to keep me in this zoo. God forbid they should ever, for one moment, live their own lives. Is that what they came here for? To be the fucking same as everybody else? And I hate the jerks in my office who think the money they earn makes them "the shit". And more than anything I hate the zombies on the subway who have forgotten all of their dreams or the fact that they ever had any to begin with!
  • Dr. Blake: I have some terrifying news for you.
  • Veronika: What could be more terrifying than this?
  • Dr. Blake: You sound like you might be feeling better. Answer me honestly, please. Doesn't it feel better to feel better?
  • Dr. Blake: If everyone realized their dreams, this place would be empty.
  • Dr. Blake: I decided to test the only remedy I've come to have any faith in: Awareness of life.
  • Dr. Blake: In order to lose someone, you must first experience authentic attachment. Now, if Edward could recover normal affect to the point where he'd be capable of genuine loss, I think I'd consider that my finest hour as a doctor.
