10 Amazingly Profound Quotes About Life From Richard Linklater Films

3. Celine - Before Sunset

Before Sunset
Warner Independent Pictures

"Even being alone is better than sitting next to your lover and feeling lonely."

Before Sunset is the follow up to to 1995's Before Sunrise, and it's terrific to catch up again with kindred souls Jesse and Celine. What makes these films so engaging is the incredibly honest, daring dialogue. These two characters feel as real as anyone, and the whole film is almost like eavesdropping on two fascinating people talk about everything and anything for an hour and a half.

Here, Celine delivers one of many brutally honest truths about love. It rings very close to home and it really makes you think about why you're with who you're with.
