About Me


Memorable Quotes:
"Even if everything changes
I won't change
Even if the world laughs
I won't doubt myself
Even if I lose everything
I won't lose you
My song is your song"
-the pillows, "Fool on the Planet"
"I step out the front door
like a ghost into a fog
where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And inbetween the moon and you
angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right"
-Counting Crows, "Round Here"
"You can't see the sky or the stars. It's almost like outside of this town, nothing else exists anymore. A town where you can't go beyond the edge.The gigantic hand says 'Stay where you are. You have no choice.' It's like the right hand of a judge, or a prison warden, about to give the signal for an execution. When you're in a town like this, all covered in smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here, and you get used to that. Used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly. But now Haruko is here. And that's how I know that there really is a world outside."
-Quote from FLCL
"Ros: Well, really--I mean, people want to be entertained--they don't come expecting sordid and gratuitous filth.
Player: You're wrong--they do. Murder, seduction and incest--what do you want--jokes?"
-Excerpt from Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
"There's such a difference between the way we really live and the way we ought to live that the man who neglects the real to study the ideal will learn how to accomplish his ruin, not his salvation."
-Excerpt from Machiavelli's The Prince
"I can't promise you that we'll live happily ever after, but there is one thing I can promise you. I'll still love you."
-Excerpt from Ken Akamatsu's Love Hina
"I am happiest when I think about that person. I am saddest when I think about that person. That person makes all my feelings more intense. That must be what love is. So please, let the person that I love be the someone just for me."
-Excerpt from Clamp's Chobits
"Suddenly it occurred to me
The reason for the run and hide
Had totaled my existence
Everything left on the other side
Could never be much worse than this
But could I go the distance?"
-Seatbelts, "Gotta knock a little harder"
"Vern didn't just mean being off limits inside the junkyard, or fudging on our folks, or going on a hike up the railroad to Harlow. He meant those things, but it seems to me now it was more and that we all knew it. Everything was there and around us. We knew exactly who we were and exactly where we were going. It was grand."
-Quote from Stand By Me
"I will not be afraid because I understand... And understanding is happiness."
-Excerpt from Arthur C. Clarke's Rama Revealed
"Some realities do not obey the dictates of language."
-Nancy Mairs
"There is no justice in the world's censorious eyes.
They will not wait to learn a man's true character;
Though no wrong has been done to them, one look - and they hate."
-Excerpt from Euripides' Medea
"Fuck beauty contests. Life is one fucking beauty contest after another. School, then college, then work... Fuck that. Do what you love, fuck the rest."
-Quote from Little Miss Sunshine
"Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he wanted and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was something he couldn't get, or something he lost. Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything. I don't think any one word can explain a man's life. No, I guess Rosebud is just a piece in a jigsaw puzzle. A missing piece."
-Quote from Orson Welles' Citizen Kane
"You know, Mr. Bernstein, if I hadn't been very rich, I might have been a really great man."
-Quote from Orson Welles' Citizen Kane
"Trout, incidentally, had written a book about a money tree. It had twenty-dollar bills for leaves. Its flowers were government bonds. Its fruit was diamonds. It attracted human beings who killed each other around the roots and made very good fertilizer. So it goes."
-Excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughter-House 5
"The classrooms seen through the windows seemed ready to devour us. The desks and chairs in regular rows reminded me of a mass grave for unknown soldiers."
-Excerpt from Ryu Murakami's Almost Transparent Blue
"Adults are always telling me that violence solves nothing. Well, life’s not so simple. My mother tells me it’s important to be a man. Sometimes that means standing up and defending what’s right, and that can be violent. So, I realize, being a man isn’t about just having strength, it’s about judgement and how to act towards each situation."
-Excerpt from Jay Naylor's Better Days
"From a hundred rabbits you can't make a horse, a hundred suspecions don't make a proof."
-Excerpt from Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment
