Robert Frobisher quotes from Cloud Atlas (2012)

Played by Ben Whishaw

View Quote Sixsmith, I do hope you will be able to find it in your heart to forgive me.

View Quote My dearest Sixsmith, I shot myself through the roof of my mouth this morning, with Vyvyan Ayrs' Luger. A true suicide is a paced disciplined certainty. People pontificate, 'suicide is a coward's act'. Couldn't be further from the truth. Suicide takes tremendous courage.

View Quote Don't let them say I killed myself for love. Had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.

View Quote I understand now that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention, if only one can first conceive of doing so.

View Quote A half-finished book is, after all, a half-finished love affair.

View Quote I believe there is a another world waiting for us, Sixsmith. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.

View Quote At this point in my life, all I know, Sixsmith, is that this world spins from the same unseen forces that twist our hearts.
