Quotes from Ally McBeal

The real truth is, that I probably don't want to be too happy or content, coz then what? I actually like the quest, the search, that's the fun. The more lost you are, the more you have to look forward to. What do you know. I'm having a great time and I don't even know it. Whoever said that "plenty of fish in the sea" thing was lying. Sometimes there's only one fish. Trust me. Do you think it's wrong for a person to marry another person not because he is the one, but because he is the only one? We make so few promises to ourselves as we grow up and one of them is that on our wedding day we walk down the aisle with someone we love. Somebody who does make our heart bounce, I guess. And there are some promises that I think we have to keep. Sometimes when you hold out for everything, you walk away with nothing. Sometimes the worst thing for someone's heart could be loneliness. The world is no longer a romantic place, some of its people still are, however, and therein lies the promise. Don't let the world win Ally McBeal. You know what the most common insanity going today is? It is the idea that love will just come to you even if you do nothing. Oh the right one will come along, it'll happen, you just wait. Well, who the hell came up with that? How many couples do you know, how many friends do you have that you can truly say the right one came along? You talk to most people and they will say the right one slipped away. Ask anyone what they want most - love. We all agree personal happiness is much more important than our careers, yet look what we do with the hours in our lives, the days. No one really applies themselves to their personal lives. We just sit back and assume that it'll take care of itself. Well sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the things you regret the most are the things you don't do. Looking at you as the mother of my child, that was everything. When I chose you , I didn't just marry the first person I fell in love with. I married the person I fell most in love with. Love rarely involves specific intent. If you think back and replay your year and it doesn't bring tears of joy or sadness consider it wasted. " To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden path, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived - this is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "God creates out of nothing. Therefore until a man is nothing,God can make nothing out of him" -Martin Luther
