TopTen Favorite Quotable Quotes
1. I love charmbracelets. If a guy gave me a charm bracelet followed with something along the lines of this quote, I'd swear allegiance to him to the republic for which he stands, love him forever and remove all clothing. Blahahaha.
"
Some of the charms are old and some are new. That's a musical note, a violin. This one is a flower, what is no sense of matter at all, except it was exquisite much like yourself. Let's see... the train that we took today. And... that's the Eiffel Tower that you've always wanted to see. And... this frying pan, cause you are the only person that I know that can actually do the flipping thing. And... this one's a heart. ...My heart. It's yours now.

2. I read this book last year and I cried... By my bedside I cried.Ian Wyndham played by Paul Nicholls
If Only
"
By the River Piedra I sat down and wept. The winter air chills the tears on my cheeks, and my tears fall into the cold waters that course past me. Somewhere, this river joins another, then another, until -- far from my heart and sight -- all of them merge with the sea.
...May my tears run just as far, that my love might never know that one day I cried for him.
...May my tears run just as far, that my love might never know that one day I cried for him.

3. There's something about Rick Blaine... Actually there's just something about Bogart and the characters that he's played. He's not traditionally handsome, but he's got that tough-almost-mean-but-a-true-gentleman kind of thing going on. You know the kind of guy that makes you feel like a child, but in a good way... You don't see many of those guys anymore. Sigh.Paolo Coelho

4. Anyone and everyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely adore Audrey Hepburn and that I love love love Breakfast at Tiffany's. So much so that I've decided that my future child will be named Holly after Holly Golightly, one of the most innocent and yet utterly worldly and sophisticated characters that ever came to life on the silverscreen.Rick Blaine played by Humphrey Bogart

Breakfast at Tiffany's
5. For the longest time the words "J'reve les yeux ouverts" were displayed on my profile pages, whether it be in MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, or here in Multiply... I'm sure that if we've been contacts for longer than 6 months, you'd have seen it. The words are from the song "Les Yeux Ouverts" translated "Open Eyes", in English the song is "Dream a little dream of me". Of course the songs weren't transliterated so both have different meanings... The French version, to me, is a little sad... The quote below translates to "All days look alike to me now... I miss you terribly."Holly Golightly played by Audrey Hepburn and Paul Varjak played by George Peppard
Breakfast at Tiffany's
"
Tous les jours se ressemblent a present... Tu me manques terriblement.

6. One of my favorite books is Pride and Prejudice. And as you can see I have a thing for that indifferent sort of tough-almost-mean-but-a-true-gentleman kind of guy. Just like Mr. Darcy.Beautiful South

I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.

Someone told me today that forgetting is a blessing from God... I'm sure that he's right.
...Some things are just best left in the past never to be thought of again.
