In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one of my top five favorite films, a man finds out that his ex-girlfriend underwent a procedure to erase him from her memory, then decides to do the same. It has themes of love, memory and the nature of relationships. Here’s a collection of some of the best quotes from the film.

How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned.

Friedrich Nietzsche (Quoted by Mary Svevo)

Joel Barish

Sometimes I think people don’t understand how lonely it is to be a kid. Like…you don’t matter.

Clementine Kruczynski

My favorite is this ugly girl doll who I call Clementine, and I keep yelling at her, ‘You can’t be ugly! Be pretty!’ It’s weird, like if I can transform her, I would magically change, too.

Clementine Kruczynski

I’m always anxious, thinking I’m not living my life to the fullest, taking advantage of every possibility, make sure I’m not wasting one second of the little time I have.

Valentine’s Day is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap.

Joel Barish

People have to share things. That’s what intimacy is.

I think if there’s this truly seductive quality about Clementine, it’s that her personality promises to take you out of the mundane. It’s like an amazing, burning meteorite that will carry you to another world where things are exciting.

Joel Barish

Come back and make up a goodbye, at least. Let’s pretend we had one.

Clementine Kruczynski

Joel Barish

You don’t tell me things, Joel. I’m an open book. I tell you everything, every damn, embarrassing thing.

Clementine Kruczynski

Are we like those bored couples you feel sorry for in restaurants? Are we the dining dead? I can’t stand the idea of us being a couple of people think that about.

Joel Barish
