Excerpts I

Recently I've found some more books and films that might contribute to my research.

As for the quotes, I had a hard time finding them (from the original books and the new ones I found) , but I will try and keep updating it. 

Jonasson, Jonas (2009). The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. Sweden: Piratförlaget

-"Things are what they are, and whatever will be, will be."

-"Imagine if death was just like being asleep. Would we have time to think before it was all over? "

Moggach, Deborah (2004). These Foolish Things(The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel). America: Random House

-“Everything will be alright in the end so if it is not alright it is not the end.” 

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Dir. John Madden.2012. Film

-Evelyn: "Nothing here has worked out quite as I expected. 
Muriel: Most things don't. But sometimes what happens instead is the good stuff.

Reid, Iain (2013). The Truth About Luck:What I Learned On My Road Trip With Grandma. Canada: House of Anasi Press

-“Grandma slowly brings her glass up, asking for a cheers. I clink hers with mine.
 ‘Here’s to stories,’ she says.Old and new.’ 
‘And memories,’ I say.
 She holds up her glass a moment longer as I take my sip. 
‘Yes, she says, ‘and to not letting them go to waste.’”

-“The older I get, the more of the future I get to see. I’m still the person I was at nine, just older. So being old like me is being in a position of luck. I think sometimes people assume luck and ease are the same. I don’t think they are,” she says, stirring cream into her freshened coffee.

-“Being lucky isn’t about constant happiness, things being easy, or always getting what you want.”
