I just remembered another one from Beau Brummell >.> Can't believe I missed this the first time... "[As Brummell is giving the seated Duchess a massage.] The Duke: Mr. Brummell, unhand my wife! Duchess: Oh darling, he's not doing anything. Beau: Indeed, if the Duke would like to take a seat, I'll be more than happy to give his shoulders a rub. Duke: No... thank you, but... no. Beau: Or perhaps you'll like to lie on your front, and I'll do you from behind. Duke: No... thanks very much, but... no thank you." And I re-watched "Snatch" the other day "Brick Top: In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary: come again?"

I've got to get these out of my system... I don't remember the name of the first guy that speaks, but the rest of the quote is entirely from memory. "Mrs. Talmann: Your significance, Mr. Neville, is attributable to both innocence and arrogance in equal parts. Mr. Neville: And you can handle both with impunity, Mrs. Talmann. But you will find... that they are not symmetrical. You will find that one outweighs the other. Which do you think is the heavier? Mrs. Talmann: Your innocence is always sinister. So then I will say that the right one is the heaviest. Mr. Neville: Madam, your dexterity is admirable." ~from "The Draughtsman's contract" I'll be impressed if anyone can read into that Took me weeks to figure out what she meant by sinister, and he by dexterity. Speaking italian would help there to get the double entendre... From a French king "Souvent femme varie, bien fol est qui s'y fie", which translates into "women change. Fool he who relies on them" From a French aphorist : "Women marry thinking their husband will change. Men marry thinking their wife won't change. Both are mistaken". From the same man "Women make our lives unbearable, but without women, our life would be even more unbearable." "Marriage is the most expensive way to have the laundry done." "One is closer to the heart when the chest is flat".

I understand some Italian, but I actually first thought of Greek in relation to those words. Google isn't helping... >.> Well Italian or Greek, I did finally figure it out And those quotes you put up are awesome XD What's more, they're kind of true...

When it comes to quotes, my sources usually are the same: - Oscar Wilde - Sacha Guitry (the French aphorist I quoted above) Google them, and enjoy.

I've googled Guitry xD So much about marriage... Sounds like my mother, only less cynical. Yeah, he's awesome. I also like quotes from Goethe, though they're more heavily philosophically inclined (and oddly foresee theories of Jung and Piaget and Vygotsky). Haven't read them in a while though, I had to google some.
"Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one." "If any man wish to write in a clear style, let him be first clear in his thoughts; and if any would write in a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul." "Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable." "Nothing is worse than active ignorance." "So divinely is the world organized that every one of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else." "That is the true season of love, when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will love in the same way after us." "There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity." "Treat a man as he appears to be, and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be." "When ideas fail, words come in very handy."
...I spammed, didn't I? <.<

I'm watching Dangerous Liaisons >.> I love this film.
"Madame Volange: Monsieur Le Vicomte de Valmont, my child, whom you very probably don't remember; except that he is conspicuously charming, never opens his mouth without first calculating what damage he can do. Cecile: Then why do you receive him, Maman? Madame: Well, everyone receives him."
"Marquise: I find there's something degrading about having a husband for a rival. It's humiliating if you fail, and common place if you succeed."
"Valmont: How is Belroche? Marquise: I'm very pleased with him. Valmont: And is he your only lover? Marquise: [thinks] ...Yes."
"Marquise: Tell us what we should think of the opera. Danceny: Oh, it's sublime, don't you find? Marquise: Monsieur Danceny is one of those rare eccentrics who come here to listen to the music."
"Marquise: Like most intellectuals, he's intensely stupid."
"Cecile: [after talking about being seduced by Valmont] I'm so ashamed. Marquise: You'll find the shame is like the pain: you only feel it once."
"Servant: You know better than me, sir: it's easy enough getting them to do what they want to do. It's getting them do to what you want them to do that gives you a headache. Valmont: And them, as often as not."
"[Valmont is having his servant seduce Madame's maid in order to spy on Madame] Valmont: Tell me, where do you and Julie meet? Servant: Oh, in my room, sir. Valmont: And is she coming tonight? Servant: 'Fraid so. Valmont: I think I may be forced to 'burst' in on you, see if black mail will succeed any better than bribery. About 2 o'clock suit you? I don't want to embarrass you; will that give you enough time? Servant: Ample, sir."
"Marquise: When it comes to marriage, one man is as good as the next. And even the least accommodating is less trouble than a mother."
"Cecile: You mean I'm going to have to do... that, with three different men? Marquise: I'm saying, you stupid little girl, that provided you take a few elementary precautions, you can do it or not, with as many men as you like, as often as you like and in as many different ways as you like. Our sex has few enough advantages; you might as well make the best of those you have."

Kind of a long one...
Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...
You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

My answer: Sometimes it is. The smarter people learn to gain their vision before they learn to truly love.

And something else from another movie. Guess which. "Come my minions, rise for your master. Let your evil shine!" XD ANASTASIA! That made me really happy. Andandand...I was reading a book for class today and noticed this one. "And then he killed them both, catching them completely off guard!" -The Odessey Andthennn: "I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly. "There was when I began it, but something happened to it along the way." "Pooh, you haven't any brains," said Rabbit kindly. "I know," said Pooh humbly. "Pooh?" said Piglet, coming up from behind. "Yes, Piglet?" "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you." "If you live to be 100, then I hope to live to be 100 minus a day, so that I never have to live without you." All from memory. DON'T JUDGE ME.
