“Alison: I don't think I want anything more to do with love. Any more. I can't take it on. Cliff: You're too young to start giving up. Too young, and too lovely.”
“When you're young your mother shields you from the world because she thinks you're too young to understand, and when she's old you shield her because she's too old to understand - or to have any more understanding inflicted upon her. The curve of life goes: want to know, know, don't want to know.”
“I am too young and I've loved you too much.”
“I was too young to know how to love her.”
“But I was too young to know how to love her.”
“Okay, honey. I love you, too. More than anything. I can't wait to get my arms around you.”
