VALERIE'S LETTER
One of many incredible scenes from the film, V for Vendetta.
Quotes from this scene:
"I remember how different became dangerous.''
~*~
"Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free. An inch. It is small, and is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us."
~*~
"But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you: that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you... I love you. With all my heart, I love you."

Comments from YouTube about this scene:
"I used to be on the fence with gay marriage until I saw this. It caused an entire paradigm shift in my worldview. It's one of the most powerful movie scenes I've ever seen." (YouTube Comment)
"As a gay man, I can't get through this without crying. Every. Single. Time. This scene is one of the most powerful scenes I have ever seen and has stuck with me." (YouTube Comment)
"This scene gave me a glimpse of the struggle that many LGBT people have had to face and this was way before I had even heard of the LGBT rights movement. While I may never know what it's like to struggle with acceptance for your sexual orientation or gender identity, at least this scene gave me some perspective of the issue." (YouTube Comment)
"This movie changed my life; made realize how primitive my way of thinking was against people. Individuality is perhaps the most important thing needed to balance out Collectivist behaviour in our world." (YouTube Comment)
"...she never faltered or strayed from who she was on this earth. She embraced it. She held onto that inch that makes every human different and precious..." (YouTube Comment)

In the scene, Evey (Natalie Portman),
Is in a prison cell.
Through a small crack in the wall
She receives a letter written by
Valerie (Natasha Wightman),
A woman incarcerated because she is a lesbian
Evey lies on the floor near the door for the light
So she can read Valerie's letter
