“I'm okay. It's exciting, and a little unnerving - but in a really cool way. Why are you so calm?""You sucked in all the excitment.”

“- "Women should all move to Amazonia, or at least vacation there four times a year."- "Amazonia?"- "It's the girl world in my head, where I go when I'm annoyed with Carter, or just men in general. There are five shoe stores per capita, nothing has any calories, and all the books and movies end happy ever after."- "I like Amazonia. When do we leave?”

“Do you know what happens when you always look before you leap?" She reached out and touched his hand before hurrying toward the door. "You hardly ever make the jump.”

“Heroism's just doing more than you want to do or think you can. Sometimes it's just doing the crappy things, the unhappy things other people won't do....It's not just jumping out of a plane onto a glacier ten thousand feet up because there's nobody else there to do it. It's getting out of bed in the morning when it seems like too much trouble.”

“Stopthinking of yourself as a reflection of what a man saw in you, andbe. I asked you if it bothered you thatpeople will talk. I wish you'd said the hell with people. Let them talk. It's time you gave them somethingto talk about.”

“[Everyone needs] a woman who'll listen, take your side, tell the truth - or not, as you need it. A woman you can count on, no matter what, and who'll love you no matter how much you screw up.”

“Even a good place gets to be a rut, especially if you're standing in it alone... Alone and lonely have the same root.”

“Abby: "You were great. I don't know what I'd have done without you."Dylan: "You'd have done fine. That's one of the most intimidating things about you." Abby: "Intimidating? Me?"Dylan: "It isn't easy for a man to get involved with a woman who's totally capable of handling anything that comes along... It isn't easy for a man to believe that there are woman who can not only do those things but enjoy them... [But] it's all natural for you isn't it? It's incredible.”

“I've found out that falling in love doesn't have anything to do with time. It can take a year or an instant. It happens when it's ready to happen.”

“-Estou a tentar pensar em qualquer coisa memorável, mas é difícil quando o sangue me saiu todo da cabeça.-Experimenta.-Uau.”

“Necessity is often the mother of balls”

“There.” She tossed her hair back while he stared at her. “The sky did not fall, the world did not end, neither of us was struck by lightning or beamed straight to hell. I’m not your damnsister, Delaney. That ought to make it clear.”

“Um ano é um século quando se espera o amor.”

“À noite, quando estou sozinho e a lua derramaas suas lágrimas,sei que o mundo voltaria a ser maravilhosose estivesses aqui.Sem ti, o meu coração fica vazio,apenas com as lembranças que guarda.Tu, só tu, existes dentro de mim, à noitequando a lua chora.”

“I want a beer. I want a giant, ice-cold bottle of beer and shower sex.”

“So we ate some smoke, so what?” “You lost most of your eyebrows.”Stunned, she pressed her fingers above her eyes. “Shit! Why didn’t you tell me?”“It’s a look.”

“Alone in her shelter, she allowed herself tears. When her shelter cooled to the touch she called to Gull, “Coming out!” She eased her head out into the smoky air, looked over at Gull. She imaged they both looked like a couple of sweaty, parboiled turtles climbing out of their shells.“Hello, gorgeous.”She laughed. It hurt her throat, but she laughed. “Hey, handsome.”

“No second chance?"A wry smile twisted Carrick's lips. "There might have been, had I not waited so long to take it.”

“She was tough in the best sense of the word. She'd taken blows, the disappointments, and had worked her way through them. Some people, he knew, would have buckled under, found a clutch, or given up. But she had carved a place for herself and made it work.”

“Life--you have to live it as it comes.”

“Holding onto something that's gone only makes a sickness inside.”

“Memories are nice little possessions. As long as you don't ignore the present when you take them out to play.”

“Things have a way of falling into place.”

“Once love found you it clung, no matter how much you tried to shake it off.”

“He was one of the many toads you have to go through to find the prince.”

“When something comes easy, you usually let it go the same way.”

“A relationship isn't something that has to be created in a day or perfected in a day. Part of the game is to keep working on it. It's something that'll always be just a little flawed.”

“Anyone that has character leaves a mark on another. Would you like to leave the world without making a ripple?”

“To fate and the strange way that it twists us all together.”

“If something isn't special, then it's ordinary.”

“We're all victims of what life deals out. It's how we handle it that's important.”

“Be yourself. Be true to that, to your heart. Patience. See what happens if you step back instead of bounding forward.”

“Fate. You could never anticipate it.”

“Courage comes in different forms. There's strength--that's the muscle. But love's the heart. When you put them together, you can do anything.”

“Love didn't run on logic. It didn't follow neat lines or a list of priorities.”

“Nothing worthwhile is ever without complications.”

“And yet, anything real, anything strong, was never easy. She'd been taught from an early age that the things that mattered most were the hardest to obtain.”

“Survivors lived with their mistakes.”

“Don't give up on your own happy-evers.”

“I wouldn't waste a day, not an hour, not a moment. Take what you want and damn caution. Live, enjoy. Feed ravenously. Or the biggest regret you'll have at the end of your life is wasted time.”

“Change--savor the cool, fresh flavor of it.”

“After hell comes heaven.”

“When you reach for the stars, you lose blood and tears. That's something you should remember.”

“Give them your brains, girl, never your guts.”

“Tom: If you love with kindness, even when you can't love with permanence, you'll deserve the one who's worthy along that path for you.”

“Shannon: Only the living suffered. Only they were riddled with guilt and regret and unanswered questions.”

“Niall: We're tossed by the winds of fate. Once we end where they blow us, we make of ourselves that we will.”

“Laurel: I don't need a ring or a license, or a spetacular white dress. It's not marriage so much, or at all really, that matters. It's the promise. It's the knowing someone wants me to be part of his life. Someone loves me, that I'm the one for him. That's not just enough, it's everything.”

“Women, they don't know what they're missing when it comes when it comes to the courageous comedy of the Three Stooges.""Yes, yes, we do know what we're missing. We miss it on purpose."Conversation between Flynn and Mallory in The Key of Light”

“If love doesn't make a fool of us, what will?”
