Vanessa Redgrave: Mature Jenny

Quotes 

• Mature Jenny : [narrating]  The world is full of love that goes unspoken. It doesn't mean that it is felt less deeply, or that separation leaves a cleaner wound. Its beauty, and its pain, are in its silence.

  Mature Jenny : The typed formal lines of the Master's will, spoke with greater eloquence than he could do in life. Drawn out during the years of his estrangement from his daughter, he'd left the thing he loved most, his public house, to the person he loved most, his last surviving child. And so the past was laid to rest. And her future made secure.

• [first lines] 

  Mature Jenny : [narrating]  As nurses and midwives, we were adept of silence. We shared much with those we cared for, and saw more than we could ever say. But we had secrets and burdens of our own. Who could we turn to when our hearts were full? Who could reassure us when we were afraid?

• [last lines] 

  Mature Jenny : [narrating]  Some of us are not blessed with revelations or confessions. Love cannot be spoken, only shown. And everything that makes the heart beat must be hushed.
