I frequently receive bulletins or emails that ask questions like 'what is your favorite song' or 'favorite movie' or 'what book changed your life'…these types of questions.
This is entirely too hard to answer. I've read hundreds of books. Probably thousands of books, and I've watched more movies than I can remember… rarely do I run across a book or movie that changes my life.
I can't narrow down a favorite book or movie, but I can give you favorite lines from books, favorite scenes from movies. And songs…favorite lines from songs.
I've been thinking for a while about collecting a list of my favorite lines. J
In no particular order, here are quotes from books, movies, and songs that stick in my mind, and have probably entirely too much meaning for me.
from Lonesome Dove (yes, it IS the best movie ever made....)
Life is still just life, and the only way to get through it is to learn to appreciate the little things…
I hate rude behavior in a man... I won't tolerate it…
It's living in this town that does it.
By God, Woodrow, you'd argue with astump.

from Chase Calder (okay, okay...NoraRoberts)
If you're the biggest and the best, then people will see it. If you aren't, you should really keep your mouth shut.

and Rhett Butler. no, I guess that would be Margeret Mitchell...
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

I don't want to spend my life jaded waiting..to wake up one day and find that I let all these years g oby…wasted.

words of wisdom from John Oates.
To play to get rich and die baroque is wrong.
Too scared to reach out, maybe afraid of what they'll find. But a hand stuck in a pocket comes up empty every time.
Hearts get broken when the words I love you go unspoken.

and....things that David Bellamy said. :)
It's hard to leave yourself behind.
Our optimism mingles with the doom.
All of those dreams from her younger days quickly dwindle with her middle age…now she knows exactly what she is and always will be….
Pull over on my shoulder, darling...off the highway of regret.
No, you don't want to be any younger, not unless you could know then what you know now…but oh, you don't want to get any older…you're just looking for the fountain of middle age
That's not what it takes to love me…you fool, you fool.
Sometimes you gotta get a little crazy to keep from going insane.
And I pause for a moment to bring you this quote from my life.
You want to go see the Bellamy Brothers AGAIN?!?!?!?!
Calvin Roquemore
Either way I'm fine, but don't waste my time…make up your damned mind.
I may be a little bit smarter but I sure do believe, that life was whole lot better when I was a little naive.
a lot of love and a little laughter, you'll find out that's all that really matters.
If you're reading fast and not really paying attention, pay attention to this.
a lot of love and a little laughter, you'll find out that's all that really matters.
and in case you don't know...IALWAYS want to go see the Bellamy Brothers again. :)
And finally…from my favorite new t-shirt, featuring two of Snow White's dwarfs…
I'm Grumpy cause you're Dopey.
That's enough for today. I'll be back when I've had time to look through my favorite books and refresh my memory. I don't want to quote inaccurately. J
