Giorgio's Father:
In life, in order to understand, to really understand the world, you must die at least once. So it's better to die young, when there's still time left to recover and live again.

Micol:
You and I are not normal people. For the two of us, what counts more than the possession of things - how shall I put it - is the remembrance of things, the memory of things.

Micol Finzi-Contini:
Children are always prisoners of grownups.
