Elle Fanning Monologues

I wasn't worried about what would happen if I lived. I was worried about what would happen if I didn't.

I used to be worried about everything. Things that seemed meaningful were actually meaningless. I worried about life. I worried about what would happen if I let myself feel again. I thought I didn't deserve to. Then, without really knowing, I changed. I wasn't worried about what would happen if I lived; I was worried about what would happen if I didn't... what I would miss. I worried about not remembering; not remembering all of the moments, all of the places. And that's because of Finch. Because he taught me to wander. He taught me that you don't need to climb a mountain to stand on top of the world, and even the ugliest places can be beautiful - as long as you take the time to look. And it's okay to get lost, as long as you find your way back. But, in learning all of that, I missed seeing something more important; seeing Finch. I missed that he was in pain. I missed that he was teaching me all along how to move on. Finch was a dreamer. He dreamt while he was awake. He dreamt of all the beauty in the world and he made it come to life. Finch taught me that there's beauty in the most unexpected of places, and that there are bright places even in dark times. And that, if there isn't, you can be that bright place... with infinite capacities.

I think being strong is the most important quality. It's not being vulnerable, it's not being sensitive. It's not even. Honestly, it's not even being happy. It's about strength and your durability against the other emotions.

Abbie will take me to Planned Parenthood. And I will go on the pill. I will go to NYU and lose touch with Jamie and Dorothea, and I will stop talking to my mom, I will fall in love with Nicholas, we will move to Paris, and choose not to have children.

Love is supposed to be a feeling that you feel.People say that they're falling in love, but they're not actually falling in love.It's a fake connection that you feel with someone and marriage should never happen.

I think that I'm too close to you... to have sex with you.

I don't wanna just have sex with you.I want you.But it's your version of me.It's not me.It would be a lot better if you just wanted sex.You are exactly like the other guys.You just seem like you're all modern.

Home birth actually stunts the baby's growth personality.
