About This Quote

The sentence, “I have all I need,” spoken by the character of Ella in the film “The Notebook,” is a variation of another line spoken in the film by the character of Rachel. Rachel says to Ella, “You don’t need much to be happy.” Ella replies, “I have all I need.” These lines are not interchangable; they are not describing the same thing. The original line means that Ella doesn’t need much to be happy (that is, she already has enough). The second line is about her possessions (that is, her things).
