You should never be surprised when someone treats you with respect, you should expect it.
You know, when it works, love is pretty amazing. It's not overrated. There's a reason for all those songs.
It's just that... I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
Außerdem ist Musik die ultimative Konstante. Darum haben wir so eine starke, geradezu physische Beziehung dazu, verstehst du? Weil ein Lied dich nämlich in einen bestimmten Moment zurückversetzen kann, oder an einen speziellen Platz, oder sogar zu einem Menschen. Egal, wie du oder die Welt sich verändert haben, dieses Lied wird immer gleich bleiben, genauso wie dieser Moment.
Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.
I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.
There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying.
No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.
There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.
"Den Schreck dieses Augenblicks werde ich nie vergessen", fuhr der König fort.
"Du wirst ihn vergessen", sagte die Königin, "es sei denn, du errichtest ihm ein Denkmal."
"Du wirst ihn vergessen", sagte die Königin, "es sei denn, du errichtest ihm ein Denkmal."
Mad Hatter: "Have I gone Mad?"
Alice: "I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."
Alice: "I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."
My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that.
'It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,' says the White Queen to Alice.
'And what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversation?'
Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked.
'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat.
'I don't know,' Alice answered.
'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.'
'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat.
'I don't know,' Alice answered.
'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.'
If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.
'I don't think...'
'Then you shouldn't talk', said the Hatter.
'Then you shouldn't talk', said the Hatter.
I can't go back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.
I fear feeling my heart break a second time, because I'm not sure I could survive it. I'd rather live alone than risk the pain.
'I've never been the one. Not for anybody.'
He closed the distance between them.
'You’ll get used to it.' He tipped her face up to his, kissed her.
'Why? Why am I the one?'
'Because my life opened up, and it flooded with color when you walked back into it.'

Do you know how many ways love can hit you? So it makes you happy, or miserable? It makes you sick in the belly or hurt in the heart. It makes everything brighter and sharper, or it blurs all the edges. It makes you feel like a king or a fool.
Broken hearts healed. Maybe the cracks were always there, like thin scars, but they healed. People lived and worked, laughed and ate, walked and talked with those cracks.
For many, even the scars healed and they loved again.

Some things in life are out of your control. You can make it a party or a tragedy.
Es gibt Momente, da wünsche ich mir, die Zeit zurückdrehen und die Traurigkeit herausnehmen zu können, aber mein Gefühl sagt mir, daß die Freude auch verschwinden würde, wenn ich das täte. Also nehme ich die Erinnerungen, wie sie kommen, akzeptiere sie alle und lasse mich von ihnen führen, so oft das möglich ist.
There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse.
Every meeting led to a parting, and so it would, as long as life was mortal. In every meeting there was some of the sorrow of parting, but in everything parting there was some of the joy of meeting as well.
I thought perhaps that when you told me you did not love me that my own feelings would fall away and atrophy, but they have not. They have grown every day. I love you now more desperately, this moment, than I have ever loved you before, and in an hour I will love you more than that.
No one can say that death found in me a willing comrade, or that I went easily.
It has been the privilege and the honor of my life to know you.
So regen wir die Ruder, stemmen uns gegen den Strom - und treiben doch stetig zurück, dem Vergangenen zu.
Then he kissed her. At his lips’ touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.
It’s a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people.
The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.
Gatsby turned out all right in the end. It is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.
Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away.
I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
All right... I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.
Erhebe dich nicht über andere. Wer sich selbst erhöht, wird niedergestoßen werden.
He looked at her the way all women wanted to be looked at by a man.
