How I cling to sanity.
Moulin Rouge

Christian: The Moulin Rouge: A night club, a dance hall and a bordello. Ruled over by Harold Zidler. A kingdom of night time pleasures. Where the rich and powerful came to play with the young and beautiful creatures of the underworld. The most beautiful of these was the one I loved. Satine. A courtesan. She sold her love to men. They called her the 'Sparkling Diamond', and she was the star... of the Moulin Rouge. The woman I loved is... dead.

Toulouse-Lautrec: Christian, you may see me only as a drunken, vice-ridden gnome whose friends are just pimps and girls from the brothels. But I know about art and love, if only because I long for it with every fiber of my being.

Christian: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

Zidler: A magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan, bedazzlement, a sensual ravishment. It will be: Spectacular Spectacular.

Christian: Above all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen. Love is a many-splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love.

Satine: Never knew I could feel like this. Like I've never seen the sky before. Want to vanish inside your kiss, every day I love you more and more. Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing? Come back to me- and forgive everything. Seasons may change: winter to spring, but I love you. Until the end of time.

Christian: My gift is my song, and this one's for you. And you can tell everybody that this is your song. It may be quite simple but now that it's done, I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words... How wonderful life is now you're in the world.

Satine: When will I begin to live again? One day I'll fly away... leave all this to yesterday. Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day when dreaming ends.


The Lord of the Rings
The Return of the King

Aragorn: Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*

Gandalf: Farewell... my brave Hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea... comes the end of our Fellowship. I'll not say, "Do not weep"... not all tears are an evil.

Sam: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon, and the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark. There's... There's nothing. No veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him... with my waking eyes.
Sam:
Then let us be rid of it... once and for all. Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!

Gandalf: There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope.

Frodo: I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee... here, at the end of all things.

Aragorn: My friends, you bow to no one.

Pippin: Home is behind- The world ahead- And there are many paths to tread- Through shadow- To the edge of night- Until the stars are all alight- Mist and shadow- Cloud and shade- All shall fade- All shall... - Fade.

Frodo: How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on... when in your heart... you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold.

Frodo: My dear Sam: You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on.

Galadriel: This task was appointed to you, Frodo of the Shire. If you do not find a way, no one will.

Sex and the City

Carrie: The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humor.

Carrie: Someone's definition of what constitutes cheating is in direct proportion to how much they themselves want to cheat.
Miranda: That's moral relativism.
Carrie: I prefer to think of it as quantum cheating

Carrie: You can't make friends with a squirrel. Squirrels are just rats with cuter outfits.

Charlotte: My vagina's depressed.

Carrie's Diary: "Are men in their twenties the new designer drug?"

"Puberty is a phase... fifteen years of rejection is a lifestyle." -Stanford

"Suddenly, I felt like I was wearing patchouli in a room full of Chanel." - Carrie


Etcetera..
Just breathe and focus. How can I when the air is so cold and empty that my lungs froze right in my chest. I'll be honest; the silver linings are getting harder and harder to manufacture and the smiles are so difficult to fake. What do I have to do, or who do I have to kill, to get what I want, what I need. Happiness is an emotion I was born to this world without, nothing pleases me. I cannot be satiated. Through this toil I will breed my own distress and destroy my best hopes, fuck up the only things I love. I watched my dreams die. I watched my aspirations crash to the ground on the backs of the angels that I've slain. But I meant so well, I tried to hard, gave every ounce of my soul, to what end? Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away.

It's funny how fast blue eyes fade gray.

Prick your finger it is done... the moon has now eclipsed the sun... the angel has spread its wings... the time has come for bitter things...
~Atreyu~

Fit the mold and do what you're told, get a job and start growing old. 9 to 5 can make your dreams come true, but I don't wanna be like you. I'm not cool and I'll never be, I break the rules and I guarantee I don't want your sympathy. I just need a little therapy, atleast that's what they say to me.
