Annie Hall

Love this quote from Annie Hall. Woody Allen's wit needs to chewed on, swallowed, regurgitated, swallowed again and then digested. You maybe get it while suffering from indigestion.

I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken."
And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?"
The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs."
Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.

Nothing to lose

Nothing to lose
if we are wise
we're not expecting rainbow-coloured skies
not right away

Nothing to lose
it might be fun
no talk of spending lifetimes in the sun
although we may

Both you and I have seen
what love can do
we'll only hurt ourselves
if we build dreams that don't come true

What can we lose
we know the score
let's wait before we talk of evermore
one day we may

Nothing to lose
but much to gain
if love decides to say


From the movie, "The Party" starring Peter Sellers. That has got to be the most underrated movie of the last century. Watch it and tell me

Meet Joe Black

Suddenly remembered this quote from Anthony Hopkins in Meet Joe Black.

I want you to get swept away out there.
I want you to levitate. I want you to... sing with rapture and dance like a dervish.
Oh, that's all.
Yeah. Be deliriously happy, or at least leave yourself open to be.

Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.
