"We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her. (Although when I mentioned this to my priest friend Tom, he said you can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.)"
-Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
"I guess it's probably because I have a BIG, LEZZZZZZZBIAN CRUSH ON YOU! Suck on THAT! Aiaiaiaiaiaiaiai!"
-Janice Ian, Mean Girls
"Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Saying 'yes' leads to knowledge. 'Yes' is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say 'yes'.”
-Stephen Colbert
Harold Crick: I brought you flours.
Ana Pascal: But, I... you carried them all the way here?
Harold: Miss Pascal, I've been odd... and... I know that I've been odd, and... I want you.
Ana: Excuse me?
Harold: There are so many reasons; so many influences in my, uh... in my life, that are telling me, at times quite literally, that I should ignore the common wisdom and come here and bring you these. But I'm doing this because... I want you.
Ana: You 'want' me?
Harold: In no uncertain terms.
Ana: But isn't there some... I don't... rule about fraternization...
Harold: Auditor/Auditee protocols, yes, but I don't care.
Ana: Why not?
Harold: Because I want you.

"Do you know when to walk away? Do you know when not to take less than you deserve? If you do, then you're an honorable [wo]man."
-Mama Burke, Grey's Anatomy
"If there be God - please forgive me - When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven - there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives & hurt my very soul. - I am told God loves me - and yet the reality of darkness & coldness & emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul."
-Mother Teresa, in a letter to Jesus
"There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet."
-Eliot, "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock," l. 26-7
"I look before I leap; I love margins and discipline. I make lists in my sleep baby--what's my sin? Never quit--I follow through. I hate mess, but I love you. What to do with my impromptu baby? So be wise, 'cause this girl satisfies. You got a prize, but don't compromise; you're one lucky baby. Take me for what I am (A control freak); who I was meant to be (A snob, yet over attentive). And if you give a damn (a lovable, droll geek), take me baby or leave me (and anal retentive!)."

-Ellen Olenska, The Age of Innocence (Wharton)
"I'm kinda pretty
And pretty damn smart.
I like romantic things
Like music and art.
And as you know

So why don't I have
A boyfriend?
Fuck!
