One of my favorite movie sequences/quotes ever. As always, you’ll have to watch it to really get it. But it’s good as it is.

This is from the ending of "Stranger Than Fiction" (Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal)

As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok.

Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair… in routine and constancy… in hopelessness and tragedy… we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies.

And, fortunately, when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin…

or a kind and loving gesture…

or subtle encouragement….

or a loving embrace…

or an offer of comfort…

not to mention hospital gurneys…

and nose plugs…

an uneaten Danish…

soft-spoken secrets…

and Fender Stratocasters…

and maybe the occasional piece of fiction.

And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives.

I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true. And, so it was, a wristwatch saved Harold Crick.

\m/ that was such a good heartwarming ending \m/

it’s the little things - the mundane things - that make the world spin around and around. hehe.
