Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." ~Lester Burnham AMERICAN BEAUTY _____________________"I thought maybe you were a nut... but you were exciting.

" Come back and make up a good-bye at least. Let's pretend we had one.""When I was a kid, I thought I was. I can't believe I'm crying already. Sometimes I think people don't understand how lonely it is to be a kid, like you don't matter. So, I'm eight, and I have these toys, these dolls. My favorite is this ugly girl doll who I call Clementine, and I keep yelling at her, "You can't be ugly! Be pretty!" It's weird, like if I can transform her, I would magically change, too." ~Clementine Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind_____________________ on a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero... ~ Jack FIGHT CLUB
