I am slightly disappointed. I always thought the quote was "Her love for him was her religion." For me the line represented the simple poetic romanticism of Hollywood silent film title cards, but the line doesn't really exist. It's like that quote from one of Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speeches: "You like me you really like me!" She didn't actually say the line like that, but all of us misremembered it together. So maybe I can decide to forever remember this line from Beyond the Rocks as I misremembered it for the last four years. 
10 bucks goes to who ever can guess why she has such a spike in popularity in the late 70s.
It's because that's when she was rediscovered by Eastman House curator/part-time lover James Card!
Yes, I keep the money.

1.) Why are silent films most enjoyable when watched alone in an empty house at 3am? Is that just me?
2.) Why do we obsess over dead celebrities? Is this the ultimate form of unrequited love? Is it the most satisfying kind of love?
3.) Why does Lon Chaney's face break my heart? Is that an overstatement? No?
4.) Will I ever watch Birth of a Nation all the way through?
5.) Did Greta Garbo embody the feminist ideal?
