A scene from Under the Tuscan Sun 2003
Frances

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you. Like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly. You shouldn't have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. The light just never went on, you know. I must have known, of course, but I was too scared to see the truth. Then fear just makes you so stupid.

Martini

No, it's not stupid, Signora Mayes. L'amore e cieco.

Frances

Oh, love is blind. Yeah, we have that saying too.

Martini

Everybody has that saying because it's true everywhere.
