Clarence: Wait a second... Look, I'm trying to keep this whole thing in perspective but you just said you love me. Now, if I say I love you and just throw caution to the wind and let the chips fall where they may and you're lying to me I'm gonna fucking die.

Alabama: I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he'd say, "that's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too." That's the way romance is... Usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too.

Pareidolia - psychological phenomenon where a vague and random stimulus is perceived as significant.

Neat that it stems from the greek word 'Eidolon' meaning 'phantom or apparition or image of the ideal.' I've always liked that word. And not just for its' meaning but because of the way it sounds when it's said as well as the way it looks when it's written. There are other words that I hold a similar affinity for.
