Lines that get you.

That is a good line.

 

The monologue the Doctor delivers to Rose about halfway through the first new episode of Doctor Who back in 2005.

"It's like when you're a kid, and they first tell you that the world is spinning and you can't quite believe it because everything looks like it's standing still. (Dramatic pause) I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and this entire planet is hurtling round the sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me. Clinging to the skin of this tiny little world and if we let go... That's who I am. Now forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home."

 

"But to be pure means to rediscover that country of the soul where one's kinship with the world can be felt, where the throbbing of one's blood mingles with the violent pulsations of the afternoon sun."

Summer in Algiers, Albert Camus

 

I love this verse especially from the song "Check Yes Juliet" by We the Kings
"Check yes Juliet
I'll be waiting
Wishing, wanting
Your's for the taking
Just sneak out
And don't tell a soul goodbye
Check yes Juliet
Here's the countdown
3,2,1 now fall in my arms
Now they can change the locks
Don't let them change your mind"

And also the chorus is awesome too

"Run Baby Run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever we'll be
You and me"

I love the whole idea behind the song of being with who you love and not looking back at those you would stop you

 

I'm familiar with the song and it's definitely catchy and fun to listen to but wouldn't you agree the lyrics are a little cliche?

 

Yeah they are slightly cliche, but at the same time it is definately a very catchy song and the story of the song is very sweet and infectious

 

It is, you're right. I prefer their song The Quiet.

 

don't know that song

I only know this one by them, but i'm in love with it

 

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

People are Strange by The Doors.

Jim Morrison was a good guy

Who's seen jezebel?
Will the mountain last as long as i can wait
Wait like the dawn
How it aches to meet the day

Who's seen jezebel?
She was certainly the spark for all i've done
The window was wide
She could see the dogs come running

Saying, "wait, we swear
We'll love you more and wholly
Jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
Only"

Jezebel, by Iron and Wine. Very good song.

 

Speaking of Jim Morrison, I have always loved this line from Soul Kitchen, and the image it invokes:

One of the best descriptions I have ever heard of lonely paranoia when you're walking alone in any big city in the wee hours.

 

The fella was a great poet and had an excellent voice. Never the best technically, but no one can compete for soul and emotion.

 

"Run. Eat. Drink. Eat more. Don't throw up. Instead, take a piss. Then take a crap. Wipe your butt. Make a phone call. Open a door. Ride your bike. Ride in a car. Ride in a subway. Talk. Talk to people. Read. Read maps. Make maps. Make art. Talk about your art. Sell you art. Take a test. Get into a school. Celebrate. Have a party. Write a thank you note to someone. Hug your mom. Kiss your dad. Kiss your little sister. Make out with Noelle. Make out with her more. Touch her. Hold her hand. Take her out somewhere. Meet her friends. Run down the stree with her. Taker her on a picnic. Eat with her. See a movie with her. See a move with Aaron. Heck, see a movie with Nia, one you're cool with her. Get cool with more people. Drink coffee in little coffee-drinking places. Tell people your story. Volunteer. Go back to Six North. Walk in as a volunteer and say hi to everyone who waited on you as a patient. Help people. Help people like Bobby. Get people books and music they want when they're in there. Help people like Muqtada. Show them how to draw. Draw more. Try drawing a landscape. Try drawing a person. Try drawing a naked person. Try drawing Noelle naked. Travel. Fly. Swim. Meet. Love. Dance. Win. Smile. Laugh. Hold. Walk. Skip. Okay, it's gay, whatever, skip.

Ski. Sled. Play basketball. Jog. Run. Run. Run. Run home. Run home and enjoy. Enjoy. Take these verbs and enjoy them. They're yours, Craig. You deserve them because you chose them. You could have left them all behind but you chose to stay here. So now live for real, Craig. Live. Live. Live. Live.

Live."

Long quote, sorry, but it's basically the last page of the book It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. The whole thing jsut really hit me and I had to put the whole thing up. The last little bit has become my signature actually. But this part really sums up the whole book which was amazing and very deep.

 

Oh we could go on for days on this subject:

Ninth Gate:

Balkan says, "Nothing is more reliable than a man whose loyalties can be bought with hard cash."

Fifth Element:

Leeloo, "Everything you create, you use to destroy."
Korben, "Yea, we call it human nature."

Koroshiya1 (Ichi the killer)

Kakihara, "There is no love in your violence. Listen when you are giving pain to someone, don't think about the pain the person is feeling. just concentrate on how good it feels to be causing someone pain."

Training Day

Alonzo, "It's not what you know, it's what you can prove."

God Lives Underwater - Song 23 (really the entire song but the last part always gets me)

I've spent 23 years now
Trying to get by
Other people make it day to day
I still wonder why

I really only had a few things
They've all been taken away
What does the next life bring
I just want to feel okay

I really only had a few things
They've all turned to tears
One tried to kill me
The other kept me here
I'm still here...

(RIP David Riely)

"Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures."

Dr. Seuss

"Don't cry because it is over. Smile because it happened."

Henry Morton Stanley

"The sky lovingly smiles on teh earth and her children."

Alfred Hitchcock

"Television has brought back murder into the home where it belongs."

Eleanor Roosevelt

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

 

I love that song. Personally, my favorite part is:

"Your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget."

 

"Vanity? Curiosity? Hypocrisy? Had there been nothing more in this renunciation than that? There had been something more. At least he thought so. But who could tell? ...No. There had been nothing more. Through vanity he had spared her. In hypocrisy he had worn the mask of goodness. For curiosity's sake he had tried the denial of self."

The Portrait Of Dorian Gray is really the best book I've ever read.

"I love acting. It is so much more real than life."

And, of course:

"What I don't understand is you, God... On the Wired, you were God, all right. But here? You're just an acting God, waiting for someone to take your place."

Serial Experiments Lain, shortly before the titular main character commits deicide.

 

"Always I want to burn - setting fire to - things that will not return - so take what you can get - a second change might not come - or we can just stay dumb" ~Quicksand

 

"I hope you like dancing in the rain
I'll spin you around and pull you back to me
I sure am glad you wore that dress
Reminds me of the night that we first met
Don't you love those evenings in July?
When I'm staring at you, with my bue eyes
And we could be fine
We could be fine, fine, fine"

The chorus of the song About Rain by Sequoyah Prep School
It's one of my absolute favorite songs

 

Thanks to the genius of David Lynch, the strings of my little black heart pull when I hear this: "I am not an elephant! I am not an animal, I am a human being! I ... Am ... A man".

Line from the movie The Elephant Man.
Honestly, everyone, watch this movie!

 

"Supposing there be any soul to listen and you died tonight?
They'd listen to my death.
No final words?
Last words are only words."
From McCarthy's Suttree. Every line of that novel is quotable. Best book ever written...

"My mother is not in the box. My mother does not smell like that. My mother is a fish."
Vardaman, in As I Lay Dying.

"I loved you guys, you know.
I loved you so much."
From King's IT. Another book with a whole mess of great, touching quotes.

 

Okay, so this is a long quote, but it's beautiful. Read it. The man who composed this beautiful work of art is named Buddy Wakefield.

This particular poem is about walking into a convenience store after hours and hours on the road, and the people behind the counters we all see but never know... it's a little depressing, but it hits home.

He's a slam poet, like I said. It's on YouTube, and you should listen to him when he performs it. Magical.

 

I'm not normally a fan of rap, but there's this one sentence from Let's Never Meet by Bike For Three! that's amazing (actually there are many, many amazing lines....hyper-literate rap is a bit of a cliche but when its done well its super cool); anyway:

Sometimes we go to the altar for a sacrifice.

Just a small sentence, but its so evocative and so strikingly different, and so ambiguous but also quite specific and....yeah, makes me jealous haha

 

yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:for thou art with me......PSALMS 23-4

Im not really religous or anything but this verse sends chills down my spine

 

How about the alternative from Carter USM: "And yea though I walk through the alley in the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, because I AM evil".

 

I tried to fit all of this in my signature, but it wouldnt fit. The full text is here:

 

"Do you believe in miracles?!"

From the Miracle on Ice....... just....... utter chills for that game. I love the Olympics!!!!!
