-It’s our motto.
-What’s a motto?
-Nothing. What’s a motto with you?

The Lion King (1994), dir. Roger Allers, Rob Minkoff (33/?)

Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I’ve tried.

Everybody, try laughing. Then whatever scares you will go away!

So love and dating? I love to read about it, and it’s fun to write about and to think about in my head, but… when it’s real… What, it’s scary? Yeah. Why? Why is that scary? ‘Cause the more people that you let into your life, the more that can just walk right out.

“Some things, once you’ve loved them, become yours forever. And if you try to let them go…They only circle back and return to you. They become part of who you are…or they destroy you.” Kill Your Darlings (2013)

Paradise Falls, a land lost in time.

“Different things can be sad… it’s not all war!”
Lady Bird dir. Greta Gerwig

We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste. - Call Me By Your Name (2017)

I’m ten years old. My life is half over and I don’t even know if I’m black with white stripes or white with black stripes!

I may have come close, but I never had what you had. Something always held me back or stood in the way. How you live your life is your business. But remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. Most of us can’t help but live as though we’ve got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between. But there’s only one, and before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now there’s sorrow. I don’t envy the pain. But I envy you the pain.
