Quotes Vol. 12

"I heard dumb bitch. I assumed you were talking to me." ~ The Truth About Cats & Dogs

" You know how someone's appearance can change the longer you know them? How a really attractive person, if you don't like them, can become more and more ugly, whereas someont you might not have even noticed...that you wouldn't look at more than once, if you love them, can become the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.

"It doesn't actually kill you. Like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says 'I never loved you,' it should kill you instantly. You shouldn't have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. The light just never went on, you know. I must have known, of course, but I was too scared to see the truth. Then fear just makes you so stupid." ~ Under the Tuscan Sun

"People don't know how to love. They bite rather than kiss. They slap rather than stroke. Maybe it's because they recognize how easy it is for love to go bad, to become suddenly impossible...unworkable, an exercise of futility. So they avoid it and seek solace in angst, and fear, and aggression, which are always there and readily available. Or maybe sometimes...they just don't have all the facts." ~ The Upside of Anger

"We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them." ~ The Virgin Suicides

Build you a fire if the furnace breaks. Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you. I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold. Need you, feed you. I'll even let you hold the remote control. So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink. Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink. Oh I could be the man to grow old with you. I wanna grow old with you." ~ The Wedding Singer

For how you always looked, for how I always wanted to touch you. God, you were my life. I apologize for every time I ever failed you. Especially this one..." ~ What Dreams May Come

"Do you believe in love at first sight? Nah, I betcha don't, you're probably too sensible for that. Or have you ever like, seen somebody? And you knew that, if only that person really knew you, they would, well, they would of course dump the perfect model that they were with, and realize that you were the one that they wanted to, just grow old with. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you haven't even talked to? Have you ever been so alone you spend the night confusing a man in a coma?" ~ While You Were Sleeping

Quotes Vol. 11

"They'll never know how tough it is...to be the one who isn't chosen. To live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me.

"The man of my dreams has almost faded now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of, in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him if he were really here? 'Forgive me. I have never known this feeling. I have lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, I failed to recognize you? You, who brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way that I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say. I cannot find the words. Except for these: I love you.' Such would I say to him if he were really here." ~ Somewhere In Time

Quotes Vol. 10

"When a girl is quiet, millions of things are running through her mind. When a girl is not arguing, she is thinking deeply. When a girl looks at you with eyes full of questions, she is wondering how long you will be around. When a girl stares at you, she is wondering why you are so wonderful. When a girl lies on your chest, she is wishing for you to be hers forever. When a girl calls you everyday, she is seeking for your attention. When a girl wants to see you everyday, she wants to be pampered. When a girl says, 'I'll love you forever' she means it. When a girl says that she can't live without you, she has made up her mind that you are her future. When a girl says 'I miss you" no one in this world can miss you more than that."

I still love him." ~ Love Letters

"I tell you what I envy about people in love--I'd love it if someone knew me, I mean really knew me. What I like, what I'm afraid of, what kind of toothpaste I use." ~ The Mirror Has Two Faces

"Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? Is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing, do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow, stop your tears. There is something to calm your fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart. But I know he'll always be in your heart." ~ My Girl

"That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it will go away all at the same time." ~ Never Been Kissed

And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you." ~ The Notebook

"I do doodle, you too, you do doodle too." ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

"You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both. You'll fight, you'll shag, you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains, children, its blood, its blood screaming inside you to work it's will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it." ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

"My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle. And it's not just mine. Every single person down there is ignoring your pain because they're too busy with their own. The beautiful ones. The popular ones. The guys that pick on you. Everyone. If you could hear what they were feeling. The loneliness. The confusion. It looks quiet down there. It's not. It's deafening." ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Quotes Vol. 9

"You are everything I never knew I always wanted." ~ Fools Rush In

"I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never understand or forgive myself. And if a bullet gets me, so help me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. There's one thing I do know...and that is that I love you. In spite of you and me and the whole silly world going to pieces around us, I love you. Because we're alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd. But able to look things in the eyes as we call them by their right names." ~ Gone With The Wind

"Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself." ~ Good Will Hunting

"Sometimes I wish I had never met you. Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there." ~ Good Will Hunting

Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross." ~ Grey's Anatomy

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. But eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true." ~ Grey's Anatomy

"At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that it's happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away." ~ Grey's Anatomy

"Intimacy is a four syllable word for, 'Here's my heart and soul, please grind them into hamburger, and enjoy.' It's both desired, and feared. Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without." ~ Grey's Anatomy

"Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more." ~ Grey's Anatomy

"I love you in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me." ~ Grey's Anatomy

"Some people live their whole lives and never fall in love. I lived my life...I fell in love." ~ Here On Earth

"Well, I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains." ~ High Fidelity

It's a really good thing, unless what you thought you wanted wasn't really what you wanted...because what you really wanted you couldn't imagine or you didn't think it was possible but what if someone came along who knew exactly what you wanted without asking they just knew...like they could hear your heart beating or listen to your thoughts and what if they were sure of themselves and they didn't have to take a poll and they loved you...but you hesitated." ~ Kate & Leopold

Because music makes the people come together, it makes the bourgeois and the rebel. So come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody try to love one another. Because what the world needs now is love, sweet love. And I know that love is a battlefield, but boogie on reggae woman because you're gonna make it after all. So celebrate good times, come on. I've gotta stop I've gotta come to my senses I've been out riding fences for so long...oops I did it again...um...What I'm trying to say is, if you leave tonight and you don't remember anything else that I've said, leave here and remember this: Procrastinate now, don't put it off." ~ Ellen DeGeneres

It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned." ~ Desperate Housewives

Whether it is the thrill of romance, the joy of raising a family, or the anguish of great loss, we all hope to experience something that makes our lives meaningful. But the sad fact is, not all lives have meaning. Some people spend their time on this planet just sitting on the sidelines waiting for something to happen to them, before it's too late." ~ Desperate Housewives

We all search for love, but some of us, after we found it, wish we hadn't." ~ Desperate Housewives

Why Is Everyone So Angry?: A Philadelphia Story

I recently took a trip to Philadelphia to see my bff Sara who lives in Delaware. When I took my seat on the plane I noticed they were loading the luggage into the plane, so I watched to make sure that my suitcase (which was missing my luggage tags that my cousin stole) got into the cargo hold safely. Well, I didn’t see it get loaded so hence my worrying started. When I landed and went to baggage claim my suitcase had arrived…but not quite safely. At some point it must have been thrown so hard that it bent the hard plastic tube on the backside where the pull-along handle comes out. So there I am waiting by myself in an airport, digging my knee into the top of the suitcase while pulling on the handle… to no avail. So I proceeded to crouch over and pull my suitcase outside to wait for Sara on the sidewalk. There I had my first encounter with Philadelphia hospitality. Across the lanes where cars and buses come to pick up passengers, is the parking garage. I suddenly hear someone laying on their horn for at least 2 minutes. Thinking that a car alarm was going off I look up to see a 70-80 year old woman walking through the parking garage being closely followed by the car with said horn blowing. The lady turned around and looked at them like they were nuts. Well, she got out of the way and the car goes past her…slowly…they obviously weren’t in a hurry…just rude. Sara picked me up soon after as I regaled her with this story and we made our way to Newark. We were both starving, so after dropping off my bent luggage we went to a local sub shop (Capriotti’s I believe) which Sara claimed had the most amazing sandwich ever…. it was a concoction of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. A whole Thanksgiving dinner on a bun. Since I am way too picky to attempt that kind of fare…I settled for an Italian…figuring that I should like it since I am Italian after all. And at least I was right, it was amazing and highly recommended. But I had to take a picture of the lumpy mess that Sara got…so here it is…


After picking up the subs, we stopped at the farmer’s market (run by mostly Mexican and Chinese people I believe) which had amazing prices and every type of odd food that you could possibly think of. I wish I had more time to explore the aisles. I did find some frozen octopus and a bag of tiny baby octopuses…very disturbing.

Friday we went to Philadelphia to tour many of the historical sites. We started out on South Street (which was supposed to have lots of cool stores) and we parked as soon as we pulled onto the street (in the ghetto accompanied with many cat calls), thinking that the stores couldn’t be too far away…. 20 blocks later we arrived at the stores…which really weren’t that exciting. And FYI everyone under 25 dresses like a streetwalker from the 80s, in various neon colored skinny jeans (boys and girls that is) and they walk in big bunches and practically push you into the street and won’t let you through. In the meantime we had to park at a meter with a 2-hour limit…because there is NO FREE PARKING anywhere in Philly. So we were running these 20 blocks looking for a bathroom because Sara has to pee every 5 minutes…literally.


After surviving the very under whelming South Street, we went to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. We searched for parking through all of the crazy narrow streets and angry drivers then settled for parking in the garage under the Liberty Bell. We raced upstairs, skipped all of the introductory hoopla and went straight to the bell. Once again, not very exciting. We went outside took a couple of pics of the Independence Hall from across the street and ran back inside to eat a VERY HOT hotdog. When I picked it up, I immediately dropped it back down because it burnt my hand. Then we went back to see how much we owed for parking…. $8.00!!! We were there for 45 minutes and didn’t even get to see anything really. This would never happen in St. Louis…historical sites should be free people!!!

We then made our way to the good part of the trip…. the East State Penitentiary…the world’s first penitentiary…which I’m pretty sure was on an episode of Ghost Hunters. I could have stayed there all day if it wasn’t so cold. Here are some pics…



We had parked down the hill from the penitentiary (in a miraculously free spot I found) near the Philadelphia Museum of Art…which cost $18!!! Pay? For an art museum?? They’re all free in St. Louis!! Insane. So I walked (Sara ran) to the museum to see some of the costume exhibits we wanted to see. Here are some pics from there…


After we were done with the museum, we were both so tired, sore, and sick of life that we decided to skip the ghost tour we were supposed to go on 3 hours later at the Liberty Bell. And it was raining anyway, so we went back to the car and headed back to Newark. The steak place that Sara wanted to go to was apparently out of business, and we were starving. So we went to Outback down the road and waited 30 minutes for a table. We were bored, so we both texted Ryan and told him that Sara left me in Philly cause we were fighting. So he was calling us back and forth, trying to get us to make up…he’s so gullible.
So we went home and went to sleep, but not before Sara’s next door neighbor stunk up the room with his pot smoke coming through the walls…lovely. Saturday we went to Lancaster to see the Amish and go to the Tanger outlet. Well, we drove right past all of the Amish stores to go to downtown Lancaster. Sara insisted on parking at a meter, because she thinks that you HAVE to pay to park everywhere in Pennsylvania, but it was free parking as we found out. So we went through the stores down Queen Street and ate at a crepe shop…which was delicious. Then it started raining as we explored all of the vintage stores. In one store, Sara found a costume diamond ring from the 50s before I got to it. It’s way too big for her and fits me perfectly. Here’s the pic to prove it….

Well, I couldn’t find another cool ring…but I did get some cat-eye sunglasses from the 50s…

When we finally decided to leave it was pouring down…like seriously a monsoon!! We were completely soaked and stopped at Tanger outlet to get clothes and slippers to change into in the car. Here are the pics of the flash flood we had to drive through to get back to Delaware…


We stopped at Taco Bell because we couldn’t go to a restaurant dressed like we were and we didn’t want to get wet again. So Cody came over and we carved pumpkins (very sticky and gross) that turned out awesome!! Here they are…


Sunday, we stopped at Main Street in Newark so I could get some Sweet and Sassy Cupcakes to bring home for me and my mom. They didn’t exactly survive the plane ride even though I made sure they stayed upright and didn’t get jostled the whole trip…mine still tasted good anyway. Now I’m going to peruse local vintage stores to find a ring better than the one Sara stole from me….

"Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief." ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

If you want to hate me, go ahead. If you want to burn this letter, do it. You could burn the whole world down, you could tell me to go to hell. I'd go, if you wanted me to. And I'd send you a letter from there." ~ My So Called Life

This is the meaning of success." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Mine eye trickleth down and ceaseth not without any intermission." ~ Lamentations 3:49

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear." ~ The Body by Steven King

"Life is never easy to those who dream." ~ Robert James Waller

"Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets." ~ Paul Tourner

"Perhaps we are looking at this from a wrong perspective, this search for the truth, the meaning of life, the reason of God. We all have this mindset that the answers are so complex and so vast that it is almost impossible to comprehend. I think, on the contrary, that the answers are so simple, so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it. We're looking through a telescope, searching the stars for the answer, when the answer is actually a speck of dirt on the telescope lens." ~ Jason Q

"It's the heart afraid of breaking, that never takes a chance. It's the dream afraid of waking, that never learns to dance. It's the one who won't be broken, that cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live."

"I dream a world where man no other man will scorn, where love will bless the earth and peace its paths adorn. I dream a world where all will know sweet freedom's way, where greed no longer saps the soul nor avarice blights our day. A world I dream where black or white, whatever race you be, will share the bounties of the earth and every man is free, where wretchedness will hang its head and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all mankind-of such I dream, my world." ~ Langston Hughes, I Dream a World

First Blog Ever--start of quotes

Well I just decided to start blogging on here because facebook and myspace will only save my last 10 blogs. So I've lost all the quotes I started putting up years ago. I'll start this blog by posting some of my favorite quotes that I've been collecting since I was about 16. I'll also add any pictures or any other little spiels I decide to go on in the future. My quote book is full of sayings that I believe, that I would say myself, or that are just funny.
