“Look at yourself, Simba….you are more than what you have become.” – The Lion King

“He said, ‘You can’t talk about music. Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.’ It’s just as pointless as talking about a lot of things. Love, for instance. Talking about love is like dancing about architecture. So I don’t know. He might be right. But it ain’t gonna stop me from trying.”  – Playing By Heart, 1998

Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today, it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I’ve walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it, and above. – Gia Marie Carangi (1960-1986), Gia (1998 film by Angelina Jolie)

 

Sitting there in a foreign country, far from my job and all the people I knew, a feeling came over me. As I recalled something, something that I had never known and for which I had been waiting. But I didn’t know what it was. Maybe it was something I had forgotten. Or something I had missed my whole life. I can only tell you that at the same time I felt joy and sadness. But not a great sadness. Because I felt alive. Yes. Alive. That was the moment I fell in love with Paris and the moment that I felt that Paris had fallen in love with me.” – Paris, Je T’aime (1996)     

“If you love someone, set him free; if you have to stalk him, he probably wasn’t yours in the first place.” – All About Steve (2009)
