Nicole Kidman and Jude Law in Cold Mountain as Ada Monroe and Inman.
Inman: [to Ada] If you could see my inside, or whatever you want to name it; my spirit, that's what I fear.
I think I'm ruined. They kept trying to put me in the ground but I wasn't ready.
But if I had... if I had goodness, I lost it. If I had anything tender in me, I shot it dead! How could I write to you after what I'd done? What I'd seen?
Ada: What we have lost will never be returned to us. The land will not heal - too much blood.
All we can do is learn from the past and make peace with it.
