Quote #7
ALICIA: I need to believe that something extraordinary is possible.
When John eventually goes off his meds because he hates the way they make him feel, things are looking even more dicey for the couple—like, at one point, his doctor strongly suggests that she commits him. But, at his request, here she agrees to stick it out and help him get his life back on track without meds.
Quote #8
JOHN: My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional, and back. And I have made the most important discovery of my career. The most important discovery of my life. It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the reason I am. You are all my reasons.
When John accepts the Nobel Prize late in life, he gives up big props to Alicia for sticking by him and believing in something "extraordinary"—since, without her love and trust, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand there accepting the award (or they might not have even given it to him at all).
