——回家是一件令我感到新奇的事情,周遭一切看起来依旧,闻起来依旧,感觉起来也依旧。你意识到真正发生改变的,是你自己。
Benjamin Button: It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.
——你可以像疯狗那样对周围的一切愤愤不平,你可以诅咒命运...但是等到了最后一刻...你还是得平静的放手而去。
Captain Mike: You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.
——有时候我们就活在即将发生冲撞的轨道上,浑然不知。无论它是意外发生的还是蓄谋已久的,对此我们都无能为力。
Benjamin Button: Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it
——Benjamin,我们注定要失去我们所爱的人,要不然我们怎么会知道他们对我们多么的重要。
Mrs. Maple: Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?
. For her daughter: I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Some swim.
Some know buttons.
Some know Shakespeare.
Some are mothers.
And some people, dance.
