quotes books reading truth Cornelia Funke love this
Via: Susie D
"Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells, and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower, both strange and familiar."

— Cornelia Funke (via aeterne)

Shakespeare haha quotes nerd alert
Via: My Brother Fabio

A dramatic Shakespearean response to every situation

When something bad happens: True is it that we have seen better days.
When something REALLY bad happens: O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day! Most lamentable day. Most woeful day That ever, ever I did yet behold! O day, O day, O day! O hateful day! Never was seen so black a day as this.O woeful day! O woeful day!
When people say that something is wrong because the Bible says so: The Devil can cite scripture for his purpose.
When my girlfriend abandons me for food: FRAILTY, THY NAME IS WOMAN!
When someone doesn't thank me for holding the door open for them: BLOW, BLOW, BLOW, THOU WINTER WIND! THOU ART NOT SO UNKIND AS MAN'S INGRATITUDE!
When I burn something while cooking: MY CAKE IS DOUGH!
When human stupidity frustrates me: LORD, WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE!
When someone says I'm going to hell for my sins: NYMPH, IN THY ORISONS BE ALL MY SINS REMEMBER'D.
When I'm broke: My pride fell with my fortunes
When someone turns the light on after a period of darkness and blinding light ensues: OH, SHE DOTH TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN BRIGHT!
When someone disagrees with me: THERE ARE MORE THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH, HORATIO, THEN ARE DREAMT OF IN YOUR PHILOSOPHY.
When I argue with my girlfriend: The course of true love never did run smooth.
When I'm embarrassed: MUST I HOLD A CANDLE TO MY SHAMES?!
Someone says "Good Night": Good Night, Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Someone judges you: THERE IS NOTHING GOOD NOR BAD BUT THINKING MAKES IT SO

nicolebonnet did this and I think it’s fun so here’s my take on things. Let me know your best guesses and I’ll post the answers in the morning.

1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies. 2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. 3. Post the quotes and have people reply with their guesses. 4. No Googling/using IMDb search functions. 5. Reblog with the correct answers.

  1. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.
  2. ‘Ello, Poppet.
  3. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I’m saying to you is this: when you’re facing a loaded gun, what’s the difference?
  4. I don’t cook! I’m a scary and powerful fire demon!
  5. You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.
  6. The stars are veiled. Something stirs in the East. A sleepless malice. The eye of the enemy is moving. He is HERE.
  7. If you’re a writer, declare yourself the best writer. But you’re not as long as I’m around.
  8. A man doesn’t tell a woman what to do. She tells herself.
  9. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt - of elderberries!
  10. You really are the smuggest and most hateful man.
  11. Hey, would you mind putting that gun away? My wife doesn’t care, but I’m a very timid fellow.
  12. You’ve got no imagination. You couldn’t even decide what to do with all that money, so you had to buy what everybody else wanted.
  13. The perfect con is one where everyone involved gets just what they wanted.
  14. Why are my hands so BIG??
  15. Wow. You look like a unicorn… in a negligee.
  16. I’m sorry, this is the fun-vee. The hum-drum-vee is back there.
  17. There are dinner jackets and dinner jackets; this is the latter. And I need you looking like a man who belongs at that table.
  18. Would you like to have a holl in ze hay? Holl, holl, holl in ze hay.
  19. What about Claudette Colbert? She’s British, isn’t she? She sounds British. Is she, like, affected or is she British?
  20. It’s all bullshit except the pain. The pain of hell. The burn from a lighted match increased a million times. Infinite. Now, ya don’t fuck around with the infinite.

Interviewer: Black history month you find…

Morgan Freeman: Ridiculous.

Interviewer: Why?

Morgan Freeman: You’re going to relegate my history to a month?

Interviewer: Oh, come on.

Morgan Freeman: What do you do with yours? Which month is white history month?

Interviewer: (pause) Well, I’m Jewish.

Morgan Freeman: Okay. Which month is jewish history month?

Interviewer: There isn’t one.

Morgan Freeman: Oh, oh. Why not? Do you want one?

Interviewer: No.

Morgan Freeman: Right. I don’t either. I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history.

Interviewer: How are we going to get rid of racism?

Morgan Freeman: Stop talking about it.

Neil Gaiman quotes quote i like this
Via: there she goes
"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art - write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

— Neil Gaiman (via quote-book)

"When a girl feels that she’s perfectly groomed and dressed, she can forget that part of her. That’s charm. The more parts of yourself you can afford to forget, the more charm you have."

— F. Scott Fitzgerald (via noratherese)

“You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything, it will be to get rid of me. After, my guess is you’ll never hear from him again.”

“The reason why people tell stories and read stories and see films is to feel less alone. And if there’s a story that takes everyone through something like this, it’s a way to say to others, ‘Now you live through it and see how it feels.’ And if my profession gets that wrong, we’ve lost that opportunity.” | Colin Firth

“It’s important not to indicate. People don’t try to show their feelings, they try to hide them.”

The West Wing Donna Josh Lyman love quotes

[After Donna tells Josh how her ex-boyfriend stopped for a beer on the way to the hospital after she got in an accident]
Josh: Just so you know, if you were in an accident I wouldn’t stop for a beer.
Donna: If you were in an accident I wouldn’t stop for red lights.
The West Wing, S2E18 

One of my absolutely favorite moments between them thus far.
