Chaos

Liz: Maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic.
It's just the world that is and the only real trap
is getting attached to any of it.
Ruin is a gift.
Ruin is the road to transformation.

Children

I'd always wanted children, but I just never met the guy.
So I decided to go to a sperm bank.
I started trying when I was 42, and I had her when I was 45.
People always ask me if it's hard being a single mother.
I say: "Yes. But not as hard as it would be if I didn't have her".
Humans of New York, 2015

Pasión

Sandoval: El tipo puede cambiar de todo.
De cara, de casa, de familia, de novia, de religión, de dios.
Pero hay una cosa que no puede cambiar...
No puede cambiar de pasión.

Bonds

Alex: Then Holden showed up.
It was a tectonic shift where everything I thought I knew about myself got rearranged.
It was like I finally fell in love for real.
All the cracks and missing pieces came together.
I felt whole. I'd found my soul mate.
I couldn't stop smelling his head. It made me feel drowsy and giddy,
like we were in the middle of a lavender field in the south of France.
The smell was real. He truly smelled like fresh lavender.
It was and always will be my drug of choice.
I even wondered if I truly loved John, because my feelings for him were never as powerful as my feelings for Holden. And I've always felt guilty because I never quite bonded like that with Scarlett when she was a baby.
It was a special kind of love. Maybe a once in a lifetime thing.
And then he disappeared.

Danger

Walt: Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see?
Do you know how much I make a year?
I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it.
Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work?
A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up.
Disappears! It ceases to exist without me.
No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me clue you in.
I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger!
A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me?
No. I am the one who knocks!
Breaking Bad (2013)

Assurance

Betty: Hey. I could have had any guy, any guy,
but I chose you. I chose you.
Gilbert: Why did you?
Betty: Because... I knew you'd always be there.
Because I knew you'd never leave.
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)

Heartbeats


Gwen: Come in, I've been expecting you
There's a knock on the door and love walks through
And lights a fire and smiles a smile
As if love were going to stay a while
And the fire breathes and weaves its spell
But then love runs out of lies to tell
For love is restless, love's a flirt
Love has places to go and people to hurt
So here's the shovel to smother the flame
Tomorrow you'll barely remember my name
And I'll try to forget you, my dearest one
As a prisoner tries to forget the sun
For life holds no purpose, and love holds no charms
Since I beheld you in another's arms.
Til There Was You (1997)

There Are Still a Few Men Who Love Desperately (4)

Valmont: I want you somehow...somehow...
to get to see Madame de Tourvel.
I understand she is very ill.
That is why this is most important to me.
I want you to tell her that I cannot explain why I broke with her as I did.
But that since then, my life has been worth nothing.
I pushed the blade in deeper than you just have my boy...
and now I need you to help me withdraw it.
Tell her it is lucky for her that I have gone...
and I am glad not to have to live without her.
Tell her, her love was the only real happiness that I have ever known.
Will you do that for me?
Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

Strength

Some of us think holding on makes us strong;
but sometimes it is letting go.
