200 pounds of bricks is just a bunch of bricks, but if you try to carry 200 pounds of feathers, you also have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds.
This scene just gets sadder and sadder the older I get.
The thing I love ( and hate) about it is that they’re parents ignore them, but in different ways. Alison’s parents flat out ignore her like she was an accident. Andrew’s parent’s give him so much aggressive attention but still see right past him. Two completely different situations and they both feel the same. I love this movie.
— Thënie Shqiptare || An Albanian phrase roughly translating to: “As long as you live, that is how long you will learn. However long you live, you will always be learning.” meaning that life is a process of constant and quiet evolution, you will always be picking up new information no matter how old you are.|| (via albanianvoices)
