The Giver

"There is no way for me to prepare you for what I'm going to do now. You can take comfort in knowing you are completely helpless."

"You see, no one in our Community has any memory of the past. Only me. When the Elders need guidance on matters that are beyond their experience, I provide wisdom."

"All memories of the past were erased."
[Titlecard]

"You have the courage, let me give you the strength."

Jonas: [after he kissed her] "Fiona, what do you feel?"
Fiona: "I don't have the words to describe it."

Jonas: "Your instructions said I can lie. Do you lie?"
The Giver: "All the time. Mostly for personal amusement."

"Memories are not just about the past. They determine our future. You can change things. You can make things better."

"I had learned that knowing what something is, is not the same as knowing how something feels."
