Your favorite quote from any movie: I love Nora Ephron. Rom coms haven’t been the same (or even produced) since she left us. Some favorites:
Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life – well, valuable, but small – and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven’t been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn’t it be the other way around?
People are always telling you that change is a good thing. But all they’re really saying is that something you didn’t want to happen at all… has happened.
Well, I’m gonna get out of bed every morning… breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won’t have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out… and, then after a while, I won’t have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
The odd thing about this form of communication is that you’re more likely to talk about nothing than something. But I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings. (how I totally feel about this blog. Thanks everyone!)
