"For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whomever you want to be. There’s no time limit, start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

Benjamin in a letter to his daughter,
from “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” screenplay,
inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s eponymous 1921 short story
