I googled my name for fun and just happened upon this post: "Scripted Brilliance: The 15th New Media Film Festival Spotlights …Just One Inch by Georgette Skolnick." Finally, after they made a mistake and told me my script didn't win, only to argue with them that my script was in their program and announced on screen at their Festival. Would have been nice to receive an apology for the way I was treated, but hey, I'll accept this posted accolade instead.

what’s JUST ONE INCH about, Gigi? it made me recall Evey’s amazing monologue in V for Vendetta!
It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologised to no-one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch but one. An inch - it is small and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

James. The title of my script relates to the bullet missing my grandmother underwater by just one inch. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that one inch. But I love your quote.

Gigi
in that case i have another reference for you, also from comics and also penned by alan moore
Dr Manhattan, a being with almost godlike powers of re-arranging molecules of anything and anyone, is debating with his ex-girlfriend Laurie Juspecyk—on Mars—whether he should return to Earth to stop an impending nuclear conflict (Watchmen #9)
at the end (spoiler alert no longer needed for a work that’s 40 years old?), he suddenly turns around to agree with her, about the miracle of life, and why he should fight to preserve it
Dr Manhattan concludes, the fact that so specific a being as Laurie could be born from such a chaos of improbability (a thousand million sperms vying for a egg, multiplied by all the billions of people on earth, and all the generations) is a thermodynamic miracle.
Laurie then asks, but if that’s true for me, you could say that of everyone on Earth. and Jon agreed. life is a miracle, and it’s precious. and he says, come, dry your eyes, let’s go home.
