Duke
I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul and for me that has always been enough.
Mrs. Hamilton
I didn't spend 17 years of my life raising a daughter and giving her everything so she can throw it away on a summer romance.
Young Allie
Mmm-hmm
most of the time I have all these thoughts bouncing around in my head, but with a brush in my hand, the world just gets kinda quiet.
Noah
[to Allie] If you're a bird, I'm a bird.
Duke
[reading] Southern summers are indifferent to the trials of young love. Armed with warnings and doubts Noah and Allie gave a remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy and a girl traveling down a very long road with no regard for the consequences.
Duke
Well thanks doc, but you know what they say, science goes only so far and then comes God.
Anne
'Cause I might know you a little better than you think. And I don't want you waking up one morning thinking if you'd known everything you might have done something different.
Duke
She is good. I don't know there's something about today. Maybe it's a day for a miracle.
Duke
[reading, about Noah] She had come back into his life like a sudden flame, blazing and streaming into his heart. Noah stayed up all night contemplating the certain agony he knew would be his if he were to lose her twice.
Duke
[to older Allie] I think our love can do anything we want it to.
