Nothing actually stands between saying, “The river sang,” and “It was as if the river sang,” other than a set of rigid rules that forbids the former from being more than a metaphor. -Fr. Stephen Freeman

Amelia
Who wants a life imprisoned in safety?
Everyone has oceans to fly, as long as you have the heart to fly them.
Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?
The world has changed me.
Lines from the movie Amelia, which I just saw for the third time. Most years I make only three or four visits to the theater at all.
Here's to flying oceans...and to courage, to having the heart to fly.

I'm looking forward to this one coming out on DVD, I doubt there'll be an undubbed version anywhere easy to get to.
I read quite a bit about Amelia years ago, so it caught my eye, then your recommendation the other day confirmed it.
