Juliette Goglia: Little Girl God

Quotes 

• Little Girl God : [reading a fairytale book in the bookstore]  "And they all lived happily ever after." There's a surprise. You guys really like that ending.

  Joan Girardi : Yeah well, you have a better one?

  Little Girl God : They move towards spiritual growth and enlightenment?

  Joan Girardi : Yeah that's gonna work with the kids.

  Little Girl God : Ever notice that the guy has to risk his life and the girl is nearly dead when he finds her? it takes a kiss to wake her up and they ride off together. It's a nice metaphor.

  Joan Girardi : For what?

  Little Girl God : Death and resurrection.

  Joan Girardi : Yeah, well that's a fun party game.

  Little Girl God : It happens all the time. The illusion dies so something deeper can take its place.

  Joan Girardi : Are you saying that Adam and I are just an illusion?

  Little Girl God : Romance serves a purpose. It's a meditative state. It puts logic to sleep so people can come together. Otherwise you guys probably wouldn't risk it.

  Joan Girardi : Why did you have to make love so complicated? I mean, couldn't that one thing have been easy?

  Little Girl God : Love is big. It's a bright light in the universe. And a bright light casts a big shadow. So what do you want to do Joan?

  Joan Girardi : How am I supposed to know?

  Little Girl God : [hands Joan the book]  By looking at it. Real love is hard work. You have to decide if you want it in your story or if you'd rather just stay in the dream.
