“I need your advice on one last thing, then I promise you will never hear from me again. You see, I’ve just delivered the first speech I’ve written entirely by myself since we met, and I think I may have blown it. I want to ask your thoughts. Okay? Then I will read it to you. I’d like to welcome everyone on this special day. Island Towers will bring glamour and prestige to the neighborhood and become part of Brooklyn’s renaissance. And I’m very pleased and proud to be here. Unfortunately, there is one fly in the ointment. You see, I gave my word to someone that we wouldn’t knock down this building behind me. And normally, and those of you who know me or were married to me can attest to this, my word wouldn’t mean very much. So why does it this time? Well, partly because this building is an architectural gem and deserves to be landmarked and partly because people really do need a place to do senior’s water ballet and CPR. Preferably not together. But mainly because this person, despite being unusually stubborn and unwilling to compromise and a very poor dresser, is… she’s rather like the building she loves so much. A little rough around the edges but, when you look closely, absolutely beautiful. And the only one of her kind. And even though I’ve said cruel things and driven her away, she’s become the voice in my head. And I can’t seem to drown her out. And I don’t want to drown her out. So, we are going to keep the community center. Because I gave my word to her and because we gave our word to the community. And I didn’t sleep with June. That’s not in the speech, that’s just me letting you know that important fact. What do you think?” George Wade, Two Weeks Notice (2002)
“It was like someone had died — like I had died. Because it had been more than just losing the truest of true loves, as if there were not enough to kill anyone. It was also losing a whole future, a whole family — the whole life that I’d chosen…” Bella Swan, New Moon
“There was no distraction from the… the agony. My heart hasn’t beat in almost ninety years, but this different. It was like my heart was gone — like I was hollow. Like I’d left everything that was inside me here with you.” Edward Cullen, New Moon
"Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world."
Nah.
It's Kang, bitch. 20. Pinay. Mass Comm graduate. Random things make me happy. This is where I keep them. I rant, I blog, I squeal and I'm made of uh-SOME.
