Top rated lines from this movie

And does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? 'Cause I'm not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up.
I love you, Joy. I love you so much. You've made me so happy. I didn't know I could be so happy.

The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
