Just like Rhett Butler's unforgettable one-liner in Gone with the wind:
Love Story had it's famous line too:
(Anybody above forty would have said this line at least once in his/ her lifetime)
( Well I did, a couple of times actually....)
(extracted from Wiki)
Two lines from the film have entered popular culture:
- What can you say about a twenty-five year old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant. That she loved Mozart and Bach. The Beatles. And me.
The first line in the film, which summarizes the story.
Spoken twice in the film; once by Jennifer when Oliver is about to apologize to her for his anger. It is also spoken by Oliver to his father when his father says "I'm sorry" after hearing of Jennifer's death.
The quote made it to #13 onto the American Film Institute's AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes, a list of top movie quotes.
The 1972 comedy What's Up, Doc?, which stars O'Neal, mocks this trademark line. At the end of that film, when Barbra Streisand's character coos "Love means never having to say you're sorry" while batting her eyelashes, O'Neal's character responds with the line: "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard."
UNQUOTE
Huh? So much for my memory of georgeous Ryan O'Neal as Oliver Barrett the IV!
