Meredith: You live with too many ghosts, Jimmy. They've crowded me out; there's never been any room for me.
(edit)
Maggie: Why is it in most country music songs the men are leaving the women, and the women are glad to see them go?
(edit)
James: (of his grandmother's suicide) She must have been very sad, I guess.
Maggie: About what?
James: Well, she never told anybody. You know, sometimes we can learn things from sadness, and sometimes it destroys us. (edit) James: Fly-fishing was invented for people who like challenges better than trout. (edit) James: (to Maggie) Dry fly-casting is to fishing what free will is to any discussion of religion. … The fun is in the damn difficulty. (edit)

Maggie: "Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and Immortality… "
From the poem, "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson. (edit) Meredith: "'I love you all the way down to the lane, as far as the river,' cried Little Nutbrown Hare. 'I love you across the river and over the hills,' said Big Nutbrown Hare."
This is from the children's book, Guess How Much I Love You? by Sam McBratney. (edit) Opti: "Is not marriage an open question, when it is alleged, from the beginning of the world, that such as are in the institution wish to get out, and such as are out wish to get in?"
This is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson's Representative Men, found in the chapter, "Montaigne." (edit) James: "I will make you brooches and toys for your delight, of bird-song in the morning and star-shine at night. And I will make a palace for you and me, of green days in forests and blue days at sea."
Another slightly modified poem. This one is the first stanza from number XI in Robert Louis Stevenson's Songs of Travel and Other Verses:
I will make you brooches and toys for your delight
Of bird-song at morning and star-shine at night.
I will make a palace fit for you and me,
Of green days in forests and blue days at sea. (edit) James: "O ye wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being. Thou, from whose unseen lips the leaves dead are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing. Yellow, and orange, dressed in red… "
This is a slightly altered version of Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind." The original verse reads:
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes. (edit)
