So you know you are getting the best possible information." - Michael Scott, The Office "Love is an ugly, terrible business. It will trample your heart and leave you bleeding on the floor.

It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie.

Please say hello to me." - Robert Neville, I Am Legend "People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love." - Chuck Palahniuk "Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. Love isn’t about ridiculous little words. Love is about grand gestures. Love is about airplanes pulling banners over stadiums, proposals on jumbo-trons, giant words in sky writing.

Love is about finding courage inside of you that you didn’t even know was there." - Gabe, Little Manhattan "Darryl Philbin is the most complicated man that I have ever met. I mean, who says exactly what they're thinking?

Trash talk is all hypothetical like, 'your momma's so fat she could eat the internet.' But smack talk is happening like right now. Like, 'you're ugly and I know it for a fact 'cause I got the evidence right there.'" - Kelly Kapoor, The Office "There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and fighting a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them." - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K.

And it is something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy." - Jim Halpert, The Office "Disney's making a movie starring a black princess.

Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good. And some are good struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, Six billion souls, and sometimes all you need is one." - Peyton Sawyer, One Tree Hill "The guy showed me a picture of himself. He was like, 'Hey, this is a picture of me when I was younger.' Every picture is a picture of you when you were younger.

How else are we supposed to know how much they mean to us?" - Mrs. Maple, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button "Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.

"Love." -Jamal & Latika, Slumdog Millionaire "Nate and Blair were dancing together, her cheek against his chest, both of their eyes closed, his lips brushing the top of her head. Blair had put her brain on pause, and her head was full of static. She was tired of dreaming up movies. Right now, real life suited her just fine." - Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar "Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, "You owe me."

Those mines aren't going to sweep themselves." - Jim Halpert, The Office "You know what? Fuck beauty contests. Life is one fucking beauty contest after another. School, then college, then work...

Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly." - Neil Gaiman "The real world, whether we like it or not, is right here, right now. All of this, every day, is important.

Keep your eye on the prize." - Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl "At the end of the day, you either focus on what’s tearing you apart or what’s holding you together." - Unknown "I'm afraid of time. I mean, I'm afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I'm afraid of the quick judgments and mistakes that everybody makes. You can't fix them without time. I'm afraid of seeing snapshots instead of movies." - The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares "College is a bubble. You Enter it for four years and forget there is a real world outside of your paper deadlines and midterm exams and beerpong championships. You don't read the newspaper - you read textbooks. You don't watch the news - you watch Letterman. But even so, bits and snatches of the universe manage to leak in." - Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult "I believe that when you find love you hold onto it and cherish it because there is nothing finer and it may never come again. And that, my dears, is the most important thing I could teach you." - Mr. Feeny, Boy Meets World "I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of Chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade." - Iris, The Holiday "I'll be honest with you.

What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone?" - Iris, The Holiday "Remember when people used to say "boss" when they were describing something really cool. Like, "those shoulder pads are really boss man." "Look at that perm, that perm is so boss!" It's what made me want to become a boss. And I looked so good in a perm and shoulder pads. But now, boss is just slang, for jerk in charge." - Michael Scott, The Office "Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid." - Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins "You are everything I never knew I always wanted." - Alex, Fools Rush In "We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling "I can't believe I'm getting paid to stare at Kate Winslet." - Jack Black, from The Holiday commentary "You know what hurts the most about a broken heart? Not being able to remember what it felt like before." - Cassie Ainsworth, Skins "It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he’s okay. It's hard to be the one who stays." - The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger "I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete.

They say to fall in love, you have to take a leap. There’s something incredibly exciting about that." - Ed Westwick "I suddenly realized it. The way to get over you isn’t by hooking up with some random guy, or pretending like we didn’t happen. You and I loved each other, and then you broke my heart.

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?" - Ernest Hemingway “Right before we started shooting, [director] Jack Bender took me aside and told me about story that he read a long time ago, about this woman who was missing her dead husband, and how she had this beach ball that he blew up before he died.

It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.” - Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl "I am afraid. There's a part of me that wants to let him in but then I feel myself put this wall up and I don't understand why. Maybe that's what strikes me most about Kostas. That despite everything he's suffered he can still look at life in the most uncomplicated way. I've never known that kind of faith.

"Never is an awfully long time." - Peter & Wendy, Peter Pan "I've been waiting my whole life for the right guy and then you showed up. You were nothing like I thought you would be.

And I think there's a pretty good chance that I'm falling in love with you." - Jane, 27 Dresses "You have never really lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you." - Unknown "People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl.

"As someone who did the best she could with the talent she had." - J.K. Rowling "When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case a princess. When we were ten, they asked again and we answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case a gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this: who the hell knows? This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, its the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be, we won't have to guess. We'll know." - Jessica, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse "I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." - Galileo "Concentrate on your dreams because everything else is just background noise." - Jack Bauer, 24 "In life, as in art, some endings are bittersweet.

And he said, 'Because I wanted you to see Paris for the first time with a man who you know will love you for the rest of your life.'" - Gwyneth Paltrow “If reading Harry Potter was about learning how to live, then watching Lost was about learning how to die.” - Anonymous "I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much. The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how it is with us." - Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro "Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It's movement. Design and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we would like to be." - Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl "You know how when someone gets a new car and they’re so worried about that scratch, you know, that first scratch but after that everything's fine. It’s like, everything in life to me is like the second scratch." - Garrett Hedlund "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." - Wise Man, Sucker Punch "In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn; color your hair; watch a third of a hockey game.

In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world; or you can just jump off it." - Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult “For just one second, look at your life and see how perfect it is. Stop looking for the next secret door that is going to lead you to your real life. Stop waiting. This is it: there’s nothing else.

If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore." - Lady Gaga "You know it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they’re happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you’ve realized how wrong you’ve been; that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it." - Nathan Scott, One Tree Hill "In each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice. We’re each of us our own chiaroscuro, our own bit of illusion fighting to emerge into something solid, something real. We’ve got to forgive ourselves that. I must remember to forgive myself. Because there is a lot of grey to work with. No one can live in the light all the time." - A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray "When the storm breaks, each man acts in accordance with his own nature.
