Breathtakingly beautiful. Kill me now. "Is This It?" (Asaf Avidan) If I threw my broken body Let it shatter on the rocks Would you pick up all my imperfections Keep them hidden in your jewelry box Would you help this old man singing Would you save this little boy Would you treat me like a baby And let treat you like his toy Is this it? Honey, is this really it? This is it. Would you break me like a prism Would you see my different sides Would you separate the bright ones Hang them on your laundry line Would you help this tired Abraham It's not just Isaac that is crying For he who is busy loving Is both living and is also dying Is this it? Honey, is this really it? This is it. Would you know me like a doctor Would you sing me like a hymn Would you touch me like a bridesmaid In some husband's dirty little dream When these defeated lips have failed me Would you save my hungry eyes Would you milk your breasts for honey Would you feed me all your petty lies Is this it? Honey, is this really it? It's all that we've been praying for It's all that we've been praying for Is this it? Is this really it? This is it.

"When Firefly died I thought it was the worst thing that could possibly happen. What I realize now, ten years later, looking out onto this room, is that the worst thing that could have happened is if it’d stayed dead. That it died was OK." Nathan Fillion, Firefly 10th Anniversary Panel, Comic-Con 2012.

"In 1960 they started a space race. By 1969 we were on the moon. Now, in that short period of time, look what we accomplished. And in my opinion, I believe that if some other country wanted to go to the moon and live there, we'd get in a war with them because we think the moon is ours. Well, it's not. Just like it's not your right to tell me whether or not I can launch into space. [...] I know we have laws. We got all kind of laws. We got more laws to tell us what we can't do than anything else. We got laws to protect us from other laws. [...] You see, when I was a kid, they used to tell me that I could be anything I wanted to be. No matter what. And maybe I am insane, I don't know, but I still believe that. I believe it with all my heart. Somewhere along the line we stopped believing that we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing." Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton), 'The Astronaut Farmer'

"Even if he is a maybe, you've got to give it a go because guys who could be right or even remotely could be the one, they don't come along often. If ever." Ally (Calista Flockhart), 'Ally McBeal'

Sometimes I think I’m crazy…my AH book collection

[pretty-floral-bonnet]

Wow, impressive collection! And by the way, "Audrey 100" is one of the best photographs books I've ever seen. :-)

"There's always been something wrong. Always, just as long as I can remember. But I never knew what it was until all this happened. [...] You're afraid of hearing it, but I'm more afraid than you. [...] You've got to know. I've got to tell you. I can't keep it to myself any longer. I'm guilty! [...]  I've been telling myself that since the night I heard the child say it. I lie in bed night after night praying that it isn't true. But I know about it now. It's there. I don't know how, I don't know why. But I did love you! I do love you! I resented your plans to marry, maybe because I wanted you. Maybe I've wanted you all these years. I couldn't call it by name before, but maybe it's been there since I first knew you. [...] I'd never felt that way about anybody before you. I've never loved a man. I never knew why before, maybe it's that. [...] It's funny. It's all mixed up. There's something in you, and you don't know anything about it because you don't know it's there. And then suddenly, one night a little girl gets bored and tells a lie, and there, for the first time, you see it. Then you say to yourself, did she see it? Did she sense it? [...] But why this lie? She found the lie with the ounce of truth. Don't you see? I can't stand to have you touch me! I can't stand to have you look at me! Oh, it's all my fault. I have ruined your life and I have ruined my own. I swear I didn't know it! I didn't mean it! Oh, I feel so damn sick and dirty I can't stand it anymore!" Martha (Shirley MacLaine), 'The Children's Hour'

"I think I've been struggling all these years, Reverend Mother. In the beginning, each struggle seemed different from the one before it. But then they began to repeat... and I saw they all had the same core: obedience. Without question. Without inner murmuring. Perfect obedience as Christ practiced it... as I no longer can. There are times when my conscience asks which has priority. It or the Holy Rule? When the bell calls me to chapel, I often have to sacrifice what might be the decisive moment... in a spiritual talk with a patient. I'm late every day for chapel or refectory or both. When I have night duty, I break the Grand Silence because I can no longer cut short a talk with a patient who seems to need me. Mother, why must God's helpers be struck dumb by five bells in the very hours when men in trouble want to talk about their souls?" Sister Luke/Gabrielle van der Mal (Audrey Hepburn), 'The Nun's Story'

"Coney Island. We had a reception at our place after my mom’s funeral and it was miserable. I was miserable and my dad took my hand and he said 'Let’s get the hell out of here, Katie'. And we took the Q Train and we went up to Coney Island. We walked up and down that beach, just enjoying ourselves. We were still in our funeral clothes. And the best part was that we made this little guy out of the twigs and twine that washed up on the shore. [...] He’s a reminder. That even on the worst days, there’s the possibility for joy." Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), 'Castle'

"Now, I'd like you to step forward over here. They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? 'Carpe...' Hear it? '...Carpe. Carpe Diem'. Seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary." John Keating, Dead Poets Society

"You don't understand. Don't you see? Nobody understands. When a woman makes the choice to marry and have children, in one way her life begins, but in another way it stops. You build a life of details and you just... stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. You're expected to move on again, but you don't even remember what it was that moved you, because nobody has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never think... you never think love like this is going to happen to you. [...] Now, I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now, for the rest of my life. But if we leave, we lose it. And I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold onto to both of us, somewhere inside of me. You...you have to help me." Francesca (Meryl Steep), 'The Bridges of Madison County'

"You think you've got the market cornered on human suffering? Let me tell you something about people like me. People like me feel lost, and little, and ugly, and dispensable. People like me have husbands, screwing other people far more perfect than me. People like me have sons who hate them. And I've screamed, I've screamed horrible things at him, at a 7 year old because he doesn't want to get in the car at the end of the day! And then he looks at me with such anger and I hate him then! 'I know I'm failing you! I know I'm disappointing you! I know you deserve better but get in the fucking car!' It's like every morning I wake up and, I fail. And I look around and everybody seems to be pulling it off, but I-I-I can't! No matter how hard I try. Somehow, I'll never be enough."   Rita (Michelle Pfeiffer), 'I am Sam'
