Quotes:

Ruby: [On discussing the war's origin] Every piece of this is man's bullshit. They call this war a cloud over the land. But they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say 'Shit, it's raining!'

Young men outside the church: Whooey! We got our war... it's about time!

Rev.Monroe: My congregation is still disputing the size of the windows.

Inman: [to Ada] If you could see my inside, or whatever you want to name it; my spirit, that's what I fear. I think I'm ruined. They kept trying to put me in the ground but I wasn't ready. But if I had... if I had goodness, I lost it. If I had anything tender in me, I shot it dead! How could I write to you after what I'd done? What I'd seen?

Ada: What we have lost will never be returned to us. The land will not heal - too much blood. All we can do is learn from the past and make peace with it.

Inman: You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place.::Ada: But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments.::Inman: A thousand moments. They're like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck, that's real. You were always carrying a tray.::Ada: You wouldn't come inside.::Inman: I wouldn't come inside.::Ada: I had to carry a tray to come out and see you.::Inman: The way you felt when I pulled you to me. That kiss- which I kissed again everyday of my walking.::Ada: Everyday of my waiting...

Ada: I will not leave Cold Mountain. My last thread of courage is to wait... for you.

Inman: I ain't getting shot again for some cause I don't believe in.

Ruby: Old lady Swanger says you need help. Here I am.

Ada: If you are fighting, stop fighting. If you are marching, stop marching. Come back to me. Come back to me is my request.
