i'm just a girl.
i try to do the right things but they usually turn out wrong.
i worry too much about things i have no control over.
i've learned to love life even with all its imperfections.
i think the key to life is smiling. ...that and love.
i usually think with my heart rather than my head.
i hope when it's hopeless, love when it's useless, think when it's harmful, and speak when i shouldn't.

And you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it will go away all at the same time." ~ Never Been Kissed
"You know how someone's appearance can change the longer you know them?

"I always thought that there was this one perfect person for everybody in the world. You know, and when you found that person the rest of the world kind of magically faded away, and, you know, the two of you would just be inside this kind of protective bubble. But there is no bubble. I mean if there is you have to make it. I just think life is more than a series of moments, you know. We can make choices; and we can choose to protect the people we love. And that's what makes us who we are and those are the real memories." ~ Forces of Nature

"I have this connection with him, though he doesn't see it. It's like I turn around without a reason I can think of and he's either passing by or is standing nearby.

"It's hard to describe the whirlwind of emotions I go through every time I see your face...the emptiness sets in when I realize you're something I cannot embrace"

"The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them."
"After living in the dark for so long, a glimpse of light can make you giddy.
Strange thoughts come into your head and you better think them.
Has a special fate been calling you and you not listening?

Harry Burns: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sally Albright: Why not?
Harry Burns: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally Albright: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: You only think you do.
Sally Albright: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry Burns: No, what I'm saying is they all want to have sex with you.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: How do you know?
Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally Albright: What if they don't want to have sex with you?
Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally Albright: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry Burns: I guess not.
Sally Albright: That's too bad. You were the only person I knew in New York.
~ When Harry Met Sally
Rick: Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then, and it all adds up to one thing: you're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong.
Ilsa: But, Richard, no, I... I...
Rick: Now, you've got to listen to me! You have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn't that true, Louie?
Captain Renault: I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist.
Ilsa: You're saying this only to make me go.
Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
Ilsa: But what about us?
Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you.
Rick: And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now... Here's looking at you kid.
~ Casablanca
