"Then you haven’t been hugged properly. It’s like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you and they give you a squeeze and all your fear and anxiety come shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breathe again." -Anna Friel as Chuck on Pushing Daisies"Whether it's true or not, the fact that you believe it to be so is all that matters." -me, myself and I

Snoopy responds, "Not if your dog doesn't like you.""Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." -Mark Twain"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." -Winston Churchill"I have to make this picture...because I think I'm an interesting woman when I look at myself on screen, and I know that if I met myself at a party, I would never talk to that character because she doesn't fulfill - physically - the demands that we're brought up to think that women have to have in order for us to ask them out...there's too many interesting women I have not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed. [choking back tears] That was never a comedy for me." -Dustin Hoffman near tears as he talks about his role in Tootsie during the 10th Anniversary edition of AFI 100 Years 100 Movies"Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead when I want to lead? If I want to dance, I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak, I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night." -Joaquin Phoenix as Lucius Hunt in The Village"If she dies, they can close this whole show of a world. They can cart it off, unscrew the stars, roll up the sky and put it on a truck. They can turn off this sunlight I love so much. You know I love it so much? Because I love her when the sun shines on her. They can take everything away - these carpets, columns, houses, sand, wind, frogs, ripe watermelons, hail, seven in the evening, May, June, July, basil, bees, the sea, courgettes..." -Roberto Benigni as Attilio de Giovanni in The Tiger And The Snow"I take a problem and chew on it until all the flavor's gone, and then I stick it in my hair." -Ellen Burstyn as Viviane Joan Abbott Walker in Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around?" -Meg Ryan as Kathleen Kelly in You've Got Mail"My god, you are Cole Porter in panties. Of course, having said that, Cole Porter probably did wear panties." -Hugh Grant as Alex Fletcher in Music & Lyrics"I've spent much of my life outrunning the past, and now it floods all over me." -Ian McKellen as James Whale in Gods and Monsters"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love these are what we stay alive for." -Robin Williams as John Keating in Dead Poets Society"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Nelson Mandela"To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." -Oscar Wilde"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect." -Mark Twain"It has been my philosophy of life that difficulties vanish when faced boldly." -Isaac Asimov"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination." -Oscar Wilde"If you believe yourself unfortunate because you have loved and lost, perish the thought. One who has loved truly can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical and temperamental. Its nature is ephemeral and transitory. It comes when it pleases and goes away without warning. Accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure. Worry will never bring it back. Dismiss, also, the thought that love never comes but once. Love may come and go, times without number, but there are no two love experiences that affect you in just the same way. There may be, and there usually is, one love experience that leaves a deeper imprint on the heart than all the others, but all love experiences are beneficial, except to the person who becomes resentful and cynical when love makes its departure." -Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich"Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, just backwards and in high heels." -Ann Richards, 1933-2006"Physical love only rarely merges with the soul's love . . . There is nothing rare about the merging of the bodies of two strangers. Even the union of souls may occasionally take place. What is a thousand times more rare is the union of the body with its own soul in shared passion." -Milan Kundera, The JokeI can't wait to see this:
I got this off my friend's page. I can't help but laugh out loud every time I see it...especially at Prince Harry's expression.
