Han Solo: Doesn't sound so bad.
C-3PO: In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.

Han Solo: Together again.
Luke: Wouldn't miss it.

We're all of us prospectors up here, eh, Tyler? Scratchin' for that... that one crack in the ground. Never have to scratch again. I'll let you in on a little secret, Tyler: the gold's not in the ground. The gold's not anywhere up here. The real gold is south of 60 - sittin' in livin' rooms, stuck facin' the boob tube, bored to death. Bored to death, Tyler.
- Rosie, Never Cry Wolf
and
You know what's wrong in the lower 48? Boredom, Tyler, boredom. And you know how to beat boredom? ... Adventure. Adventure, Tyler.

"i long for the next chance meeting of these battered souls, broken apart by distance but not by love and memories" -me

[BelleSnowyOwl]

I have a lot from "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" (the book). Here are a few...

-The human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn’t just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.

-Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know.

-No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

-Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to someone else.

-You have peace when you make it with yourself.

-Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.

-Life has to end. Love doesn’t.

*goes and re-reads the book*

My favourite movie quotes ever:

Vertigo: Did he train you? Did he rehearse you? Did he tell you what to do and what to say?

Rebecca: Last night I dreamt I went to Manderlay again.

Brief Encounter: This can't last. This misery can't last. I must remember that and try to control myself. Nothing lasts, really. Neither happiness nor despair. Not even life lasts very long. They'll come a time in the future when I shan't mind about this anymore. But I can look back and say quite peacefully and cheerfully how silly I was. No, no I don't want that time to come hither. I want to remember every minute, always, always to the end of my days.

I love Feynman! Have you read the two books of stories he told, "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman?" and "What do YOU care What Other People Think?" ?
