Damaged People (8)

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.

If you smile when no one else is around,

you really mean it.

Soundtracks: Loneliness

Loneliness in a crowd of people

was the worst kind of loneliness,

but she couldn't help it.

Revenge (2)

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.

Westley: Can you move at all?

Buttercup: Move? You're alive! If you want I can fly!

There are still a few men who love desperately (3)

Don Juan: There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio.

What is sacred?

Of what is the spirit made?

What is worth living for,

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.

You have to be dishonest and devious and cold.

You can't let people see what's really in your heart.
