"...It's hard to be angry when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes, I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and I can't take it. My heart swells up like a balloon that's about to burst. But then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold onto it. And then, it flows through me like rain and I feel nothing but gratitude for every moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry, you will someday."---American Beauty
"Razors pain ya, rivers are damp. Acids sting ya, drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful, nooses give. Gas smells awful, ya might as well live."---Girl, Interrupted
"If the sky were to suddenly open up, there would be no law. There would be no rule. There would only be you and your memories."---Donnie Darko
"Do you have to be depressed to write a sad song? Do you have to be in love to write a love song? Is a song better when it really happened to you?"---Almost Famous
"Man, I shot Marvin in the face..."---Pulp Fiction

"Kathy With a K's Song" by Bright Eyes
Love is real, it is not just in novels or the movies.
It is fact, and it is standing here right in front of you.
So if you open your eyes, oh what a sweet discovery.
There is hope and there is joy and there is acceptance.
So now let all the light that collects on your plants keep you warm, make you smile.
And I will be there with this pen in my hand to record
all the while.
You'll be laughing so loud that the house would shake with sound.
And everything would be as new as the day it was found.
Love is real, it is not just in long distance commericals
or something that you thought you felt back in high school.
So I will turn black and white, become that horoscope you're reading.
It predicts something good is on its way.
And then I'll send you the world green and blue in a box in the mail.
You can open it up, hold it right in your hand and be glad that it's there.
And be glad that you're there.
You can feel all the knots in your stomach start to untie
and suddenly it's not so hard to say you're alright.
Love is real, it is not just in poetry and stories.
It is truth, and it will follow you everywhere you go from now on.
So if you would just cast off your doubt then your lips
would answer for you.
Oh my darling, when you smile it's like a song and I can hear it
now.
