I love that last one - so funny!
I have a great one my English teacher recently said when we were talking about Jane Eyre. For all those of you who know the book, we were making fun of the alleged "happily ever after" of the novel. Sarcastically, our teacher retorted, "And when she finally gets the guy, he's missing an arm AND he can't see!"
"I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?" - Jean Kerr

I love that!
"We’re all wounded. We carry our wounds around with us through life and eventually they kill us. Things happen that leave a mark in space, in time. In us." - Six Feet Under (I may have shared that already..)
"For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. " - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ♥
"I think it’s brave to try to be happy. You’ve gotten so comfortable being unhappy. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to wake up in the morning and choose to be happy?" - Pushing Daisies
"Everyone wants stuff. We wake up everyday with a list of wishes a mile long and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true. But just because we want them doesn’t mean we need them to be happy." - Pushing Daisies
"Remember, happiness is a way of travel, not a destination." - Roy Goodman
"You cannot find piece by avoiding life." - The Hours
"He’s the type who’s kept Europe back for a thousand years. Every moment of his life he’s forming you, telling you what’s charming or amusing or ladylike, telling you what a man thinks womanly; and you, you of all women, listen to his voice instead of to your own. So it was at the Rectory, when I met you both again; so it has been the whole of this afternoon. Therefore —not ‘therefore I kissed you,’ because the book made me do that, and I wish to goodness I had more self-control. I’m not ashamed. I don’t apologize. But it has frightened you, and you may not have noticed that I love you." - A Room with a View
"Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Well, not small, but valuable. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven’t been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn’t it be the other way around? I don’t really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void." - You've Got Mail
"Only unfulfilled love can be romantic." - Vicky Cristina Barcelona ♥
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8
"Live a good honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time." - Dahli Lama
"You know you’re in love with a person when you talk to them for a minimum of 20 minutes a day in your head. " - Be Kind Rewind
"Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein
"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections." - unknown
"And when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on.
But on you will go though the weather be foul On you will go though your enemies prowl On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike, And I know you’ll hike far And face up to your problems, whatever they are." -Oh! The Places You'll Go
"But dreams are like life. You can’t catch it with your hands because you can’t catch something you don’t really see. If you believe in your dreams, you could be sure that any force, a tornado, a volcano or a typhoon, wouldn’t be able to knock you out of love; because love exists on its own." - Arizona Dream ♥
"She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum." - Everything is Illuminated
"You once said you liked me just as I am and I just wanted to say likewise. I mean there are stupid things your mum buys you, tonight’s another… classic. You’re haughty, and you always say the wrong thing in every situation and I seriously believe that you should rethink the length of your sideburns. But, you’re a nice man and I like you. If you wanted to pop by some time that might be nice… more than nice. " - Bridget Jones' Diary
Okay, I'm done now. (:
