Key Lines

I have a lot of lines I like about everyone living in a lie, but this is a line that has really stuck with me (because I'm also focusing on the past and pain):
"we'll start again, once this thing is behind us. We can do it, you and I. It's not like being alone. The past can't hurt us if we are together" (325).

and then a lie from earlier that I also found intriguing (it also almost contradicts this): "If it comes to gifting, I'll fight alone" (292).

This one doesn't exactly relate to my AOI but I like it: "I put Manderley fist, before anything else. And it does not prosper that sort of love. They don't preach about it in the churches, Christ said nothing about stones, and bricks, and walls, the love that a man can bear for his plot of earth, his soil, his little kingdom. It does not come into the Christian creed" (278).

farther down on that same page their is a line that is not necessarily a key line, but just a line that really annoys me because the narrator just didn't get it: "But I looked away from him so he should not see my face. What did it matter whether I understood him or not? My heart was light like a feather floating in the air. He had never loved Rebecca" (278).

Another line that stood out to me: "I don't regret anything else. If it had come all over again I should not do anything different. I'm glad I killed Rebecca, I shall never have any remorse for that, never, never. But you. I can't forget what it has done to you. I was looking at you, thinking of nothing else all through lunch. It's gone forever, that funny, young, lost look that I loved. It won't come back again. I killed that too, when I told you about Rebecca. It's gone, in twenty-four hours. You are so much older..." (304)
- not only does this have so much in it: love, regret, loss of innocence, but something else that I find interesting it that the line about him not feeling remorse has the same structure as the line from earlier on in the book about him not loving Rebecca.

basically I have a lot of lines that I like and I could go on for a lot longer, but I think this post is long enough and I also think it mirrors that fact that i'm interested in a lot of things at the moment and don't really know where I am going to go with them yet.
