"I believe sucking smoke into your lungs will kill you.
My physicians
say it relaxes the throat.
They're idiots.
They've all been knighted.
Makes it official then." -from The King's Speech

"POCKET
SAND!" -inside joke.
"Jungle
chicken?" -if you have to ask...
"Sometimes...your
laundry has to smell like pickles." -my friend Ashley
"Models

"Yeah
probably because they're hungry." -Holly.
(Now for the
inspiring ones...)
"Be
generous. With your time, with your love. With your life." -Dr. Mark
Greene from ER (episode On The Beach)
"Remember
that you have time to figure out what you want to do. Who you need to be. Where
you want to go. You have time to fail. You have time to mess up. You have time
to try again. And when you mess that up, you still have time. Just so long as
you're willing to work hard." -Adam Savage from the Sarah Lawerence commencement
address to the class of 2012
"I can't
carry it for you. But I can carry you." -Sam to Frodo from Lord of the
Rings; The Return of the King.
Holly:
“Do it again, I
don’t believe you.” –our BME director Dr. Bullock after the choir does
something awesome
“This is why we
can’t have nice things.” –everyone
“Trees have
SEX?!” –me (not as bad as it sounds…feel free to ask me about it)
“Well, of course
you’re alone! You’re alone because you
killed your boyfriend!” –Niles Crane, “Frasier”
“Don’t drink and
drive.” –me, to Kelly, while enjoying milkshakes
(Be inspired...)
"All you
need is 20 seconds of insane courage.
Just 20 seconds of embarrassing bravery, and I promise you, something
great will come of it." -I have no idea where this is from, but I read it
recently...awesome!
“I’ve got my
heart set on what happens next. I got my
eyes, it’s not over yet. We are
miracles, and we’re not alone.” –Switchfoot, “This is Home”
"I don't
know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around
accidental-like on a breeze, but I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same
time." -Forrest Gump
Last one...yes,
another Lord of the Rings (we just got hooked...what can we say?)
"Frodo: I
can’t do this, Sam.
Sam: I know.
It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in
the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness
and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because
how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when
so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this
shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines
it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I
think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots
of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they
were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are
we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That
there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for."
