“You think so? I do too!”
Sophie took it especially hard when Howl said there wasn’t a point in living if he wasn’t beautiful because he basically implied that she herself had no point in living. I love that, by helping Howl to find his heart, Sophie also strengthens her own in the sense that she gains confidence in her own beauty. It’s telling how Howl compliments her silver hair, since silver hair is generally a mark of old age and wisdom. In a way, both of them have matured since the beginning of the movie, and it’s almost as if he’s complimenting her for this too. What I think is most wonderful about the scene where he calls her hair beautiful is that it’s probably one of the first truly heartfelt compliments he’s given anyone since he lost his heart as a boy. He always had a charm about him, but before meeting Sophie it was pretty obvious that it was superficial given his self-absorbed attitude.
If he restricts you from the birthright of remaining true to yourself, Greyface, then how is he deserving of your affections? I find that quite despicable — vile, rather!
It is not the place of any to dictate another’s life! Why do you allow him such power? You must show courage in the face of such adversity, Greyface!
I do not presume to know of your circumstances, however, so I shall say this: every being — human, Asgardian, Frost Giant, whichever! — has the right to live their lives how they see it fit.
And you Midgardians … your lives are fleeting, in comparison to that of an Asgardian. You must seize every moment of every day! And this includes never allowing someone control over your life! For, before one is able to register the passing of time, it will slip from one’s fingertips like ashes.
If you love something — then by Odin, you should go forth and do so! Who is he to say otherwise?
What’s that, article?

You say Iranian women are forced into submission by oppressive Muslim rule? You hold an Orientalist view that Middle Eastern women are forced to live in the home, being oppressed by wearing the veil/hijab/burka while churning out babies and being beaten by their husbands or honor killed by their male family?
I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you over our massive Iranian female police force armed with sub-machine guns, scaling walls, wielding swords, and shooting out of car windows.
