The title of this blog is a wonderful quote from the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind starring one of my favorite actresses Kate Winslet. Here is the full quote...
The lines are from Alexander Pope's poem "Eloisa to Abelard"
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.
This is one of my favorite movies because of the spirit of Kate's character Clementine. I feel a desire to be more like her. So free, so careless. I also love the idea of lovers being so drawn to each other that even if their memory of their time together is erased they will still gravitate to one another. Beautiful.
