Sometimes I feel people can move past what they've grown up around and their surroundings while in a place and some people need closure after they've left and then coming back.

Dianna Agron
I am not sure how much Dudley will feature just because of the grand scale of the film and the fact that there are so many stories and characters to tie up.

Harry Melling

My grandmother died from Alzheimer's, and it was a big shock. For the families left behind, it is not an easy closure. It's not a gradual fading. The person is losing so much of their humanity as they're dying. Losing your memories, you lose so much of who you are as a person. View quote
Rosecrans Baldwin

The advantage of placing responsibility for the complete coal-getting task squarely on the shoulders of a single, small, face-to-face group which experiences the entire cycle of operations within the compass of its membership. [And furthermore], for each participant the task has total significance and dynamic closure. View quote
Eric Trist
There's always some sort of parallel that's going on in my own life, and so you can use it to, you know, bring closure, perhaps, to certain things that you haven't. A healing, a reconnection. And I believe in that. I believe in that. (Michelle Pfeiffer)
I'm not interested in closure. Some people just have heart attacks and die, right? There's no closure. View quote

'The X-Files' was a hard sell because people didn't know what it was. The network didn't understand what it was that they were buying, and at the beginning, they wanted us to have closure. They wanted us to put the cuffs on the bad guy at the end of each episode. View quote
Chris Carter
I just felt that you can't have a character fall in love so madly as they did in the last movie and not finish it off, understand it, get some closure. That's why the movie is called 'Quantum of Solace' - that's exactly what he's looking for. View quote
Daniel Craig
It is now time for us to bring a greater degree of closure to a tragic period of our history. We must not forget what happened in 2000, but we must turn our eyes more to the future. View quote
Laisenia Qarase

. . . I believe that the annihilation of even one soul spells a defeat of God's purposes, a denial of Christ's teaching and a closure of heaven against those who love the lost soul. (Leslie Weatherhead)
A work has two levels of meaning: literal and concealed. A Text, on the other hand is engaged in a movement ... a deferral ... a dilation of meaning ... the play of signification. Metonymy - the association of part to whole - characterized the logic of the Text. In this sense the Text is "radically symbolic" and lacks closure. View quote
Roland Barthes
Islam is not just a belief; it is a way of life, a violent way of life. Islam is imbued with violence, and it encourages violence. Muslim children all over the world are taught the way I was: taught with violence, taught to perpetuate violence, taught to wish for violence against the infidel, the Jew, the American Satan. I belong to a small group of lucky people who have escaped the permanent closure of my mind through education. View quote
