Oliver: Before the island I was a jerk,

but now I'm just a damaged jerk.

Wishlist

I want a girl because I want to bring her up

so that she shan't make the mistakes I've made.

When I look back upon the girl I was I hate myself.

But I never had a chance.

I'm going to bring up my daughter so that she's free

and can stand on her own feet.

I´m not going to bring a child into the world,

and love her, and bring her up,

just so that some man may want to sleep with her so much

that he's willing to provide her with board and lodging for the rest of her life.

W. Somerset Maugham - The Painted Veil

Choices (2)

Belle: You could have had happiness if you could just believe

that someone would want you, but you coudn't take the chance.

Rumpelstiltskin: That's a lie.

Belle: You're a coward, and no matter how thick you make your skin,

that doesn't change.

Rumpelstiltskin: I'm not a coward, dearie. It's quite simple, really:

my power means more to me than you.

Belle: No, it doesn't. You just don't think I can love you.

Now you've made your choice, and you're going to regret it forever.

All you'll have is an empty heart and a chipped cup.

Revenge is a confession of pain.

Latin Proverb

Ghosts

If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old time movie

'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong

With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me

Memories

"Memories are like bullets.

Some whiz by and only spook you.

Others tear you open and leave you in pieces"

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
(...)

Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

Moody Blues “Nights in White Satin”

Common

Noah: I am nothing special;

just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life.

There are no momuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten.

But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived;

I've loved another with all my heart and soul;

and to me, this has always been enough.

The Notebook

Enough

I have loved and I have been loved.
That is enough.

and what is worth dying for?

The answer to each is the same: only love.

Don Juan DeMarco

Revenge

Patrick: If you truly want revenge you have to be hard.

and tell you everything's all better now?

Well fuck you, Evan! Nothing's all better, okay?

Why did you just leave me here to rot?

Tangled (2010)

Butterfly on a Wheel

Silver and gold and it's growing cold,

Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone,

'Cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
The heat of your breath carving shadows on the mist
Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed
A broken dream haunting in your sleep
And hiding in your smile a secret you must keep,

love cuts you deep
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

The Mission – Butterfly on a wheel

Sunday

“Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come Armageddon!
Come, Armageddon! Come!
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey”

Morrissey – Everyday Is Like Sunday

Stars

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I know you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky

But why can't it be

In mine?"

Pearl Jam

There are still a few men who love desperately

"Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living!
You said I killed you--haunt me, then!
The murdered do haunt their murderers.
I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered on earth.
Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad!
Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!
Oh God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life!
I cannot live without my soul!"
Emily Brontë - Wuthering Heights

Dignity

Janet: I've always been able to do this, break up with someone and never look back.

Singles (1992)

Travel

“I love the tone that's in your laugh
Gasping for an extra breath
Waiting for the time to pass
I believe in days ahead
Don't spend another night alone
Cross and wishing you were dead
Mary, you shouldn’t let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man

I've had it easy now you see
When I'm down you’re always there
Standing by to comfort me
Someday we'll go round the world
I'll make the journey so sublime
I know you're not a travellin' girl”

Scissor Sisters – Mary

Life

“Life is a storm, my young friend.
You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next.

You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome.
Do your worst, for I will do mine!”

Alexandre Dumas - The Count of Monte Cristo

Hearts

“Good-looking girls break hearts, and good-hearted girls mend them”

'Cause they kind of give up.
And when they do, everybody kind of loses. (...)

Name

The Crucible

Light of my life

"I looked and looked at her, and I knew, as clearly as I know that I will die,
that I loved her more than anything I had ever seen or imagined on earth.

She was only the dead-leaf echo of the nymphet from long ago - but I loved her,
this Lolita, pale and polluted and big with another man's child.

She could fade and wither - I didn't care.

I would still go mad with tenderness at the mere sight of her face."

Lolita

Only fools rush in

New year, old baggage

Baby: Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did,

of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room

and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you.
