  • Favorite quotes from "Six Feet Under". . .


    "The bird of vision is flying towards you with the wings of desire."

    "All we have is this moment, right here, right now.  The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today.  So, be here now."

    Brenda:  "And I wake up every day pretty much surprised that everything is still here."
    Nate:  "Well, I don't understand how you can live like that."
    Brenda:  "Well, I thought we all did."

    "Love isn't something you feel, it's something you do."

    Billy to Claire:  "There's always a fucked up power dynamic behind sex, isn't there?"

    "May we all be wanted and loved just as we are...since anything else is Hell as we well know..."

    David:  "Oh, good.  My Bougainvillea needs this.
    Nate Sr:  "You were brave to face him."
    David:  "Not really.  There was a guard."
    Nate Sr:  "Doesn't matter. [Pause]  I'm proud of you."
    David:  "I thought it would set me free but it...didn't change anything.  Except now I know he really is insane."
    Nate Sr.:  "You're missing the point."
    David:  "There is no point.  That's the point.  [Nate Sr. sighs]  Isn't it?"
    Nate Sr:  Don't give me this phony existential bullshit.  I expect better from you.  The point's right in front of your face."
    David:  "Well I'm sorry, but I don't see it."
    Nate Sr:  "You're not even grateful, are you?"
    David:  "Grateful?  For the worst fucking experience of my life?"
    Nate Sr:  "You hang on to your pain like it means something.  Like it's worth something.  Well let me tell you, it's not worth shit.  Let it go.  [Talking into the air] Infinite possibilities and all he can do is whine."
    David:  "Well what am I supposed to do?"
    Nate Sr:  "What do you think?  You can do anything you lucky bastard, you're alive!  What's a little pain compared to that?"
    David:  [Sigh] "It can't be so simple."
    Nate Sr:  "What if it is?"
