Swingers (1996)
Rob: You don't look at the things that you have, you only look at the stuff that you don't have. Those guys are right about you - you're money.
Mike: Then why won't she call?
Rob: She won't call because you left. she's got her own life to deal with, man, and that's in New York... alright? And she's a sweet girl, and I love her to pieces, but fuck her, man. You gotta get on with your life. You gotta let go of the past. And Mikey, when you do, I'm telling you: the future is beautiful, alright? Look out the window. It's sunny every day here. It's like manifest destiny. Don't tell me we didn't make it. We made it! We are here. And everything that is past is prologued to this. All of the shit that didn't kill us is only - you know, all that shit. You're gonna get over it.
Mike: How did you get over it? I mean, how long did it take?
Rob: Sometimes it still hurts. You know how it is, man. It's like, you wake up every day and it hurts a little bit less, and then you wake up one day and it doesn't hurt at all. And the funny thing is, is that, this is kinda wierd, but it's like, it's like you almost miss that pain.
Mike: You miss the pain?
Rob: Yeah, for the same reason that you missed her... because you lived with it for so long.

Ladders of Love
To me, love (or infatuation) is kind of like when i climb a ladder. It doesn’t matter how tall the ladder is or how impossible it may seem to balance on it, I have no trouble climbing up. Climbing a ladder, any ladder is quite simple for me. When I climb ladders, I just go one foot at a time, one grasp at a time. The first few moves actually require a bit of thought, but once i get to...

When people say that they want to live in England
fairylullaby:
they probably think of pretty country-sides and cute houses and cobbled paths and well mannered, kind, lovely people who like to sit and drink tea and who dress nicely and who are well educated. I live in England and that’s what I expect England to be. Really, only about 30% of the British population will meet your expectations. The country-side is pretty but it’s more likely that...

One of the best YouTube comments I've seen:
Lady Gaga taught me it’s okay to be different Ke$ha taught me to be myself and not care what anyone else thinks Bruno Mars taught me to do anything for that one person I love. Eminem taught me that life is hard but you can make it through Taylor Swift taught me not every guy/girl is going to treat me right Music taught me how to live. ♥
