Rose DeWitt Bukater Quotes

Rose: It was everything. It was my whole world and all the people in it. And the inertia of my life, plunging ahead and me powerless to stop it. I feel I'm standing in the middle of a crowded room screaming at the top of my lungs and no one even looks up.

Rose: I saw my whole life as if I'd already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice with no one to pull me back. No one who cared or even noticed.

Molly Brown: Hey, who thought of the name Titanic? Was it you, Bruce?

J. Bruce Ismay: Yes, actually. I wanted to convey sheer size. And size means stability, luxury, and above all, strength.

Rose: Do you know of Dr. Freud, Mr. lsmay? His ideas about the male preoccupation with size might be of particular interest to you.

(Molly and Andrews almost laugh out loud)

Rose: It was the ship of dreams... to everyone else. To me, it was a slave ship taking me back to America in chains. Outwardly, I was everything a well brought up girl should be. Inside, I was screaming.

Rose: Titanic was called the ship of dreams. And it was. It really was.

(Rose is looking at her old handheld mirror, that was fished out of Titanic...)

Rose: This was mine. How extraordinary. And it looks the same as it did the last time I saw it. (looks in the mirror) The reflection has changed a bit.
