Garrett: Why?
Theresa: Because if you can, you'll come to me... When it's right. And if it's not right, it's okay. Because I wouldn't regret one minute. Not one. Bye.
Garrett: I don't want to lose you.
Theresa: Then don't.”

Addison: .... you stop. That’s what you do.

(Anatomia de Grey)
“I met someone. It was an accident, I wasn’t looking for it, I wasn’t on the make. It was a perfect storm. She said one thing, I said another and the next thing I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation. Now there this feeling in my gut. She might be the one. She's completely nuts in a way that makes me smile, highly neurotic, a great deal of maintenance acquired. She is you Karen, that’s the good news. The bad news is that I don't know how to be with you right now, and that scares the shit out of me. Because if I am not with you right now I have this feeling we will get lost out there. It’s a big bad world full or twist and turns and people have a way of blinking and missing the moment. The moment that could have changed everything.”

(Oscar Wilde)
“Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino play losers very well. But my audience like to be in there vicariously with a winner. That isn’t always popular with critics. My characters have sensitivity and vulnerabilities, but they’re still winners. I don’t pretend to understand losers. When I read a script about a loser I think of people in life who are losers and they seem to want it that way. It’s a compulsive philosophy with them. Winners tell themselves, I’m as bright as the next person. I can do it. Nothing can stop me.”
(Clint Eastwood, 1971)
"I can’t talk to you. You make me nervous. I forget what I.. and I say things I don’t want to say, and I.. I can’t. I just go stupid. I like you, that’s all, there."

Quero apenas cinco coisas..
Primeiro é o amor sem fim

A terceira é o grave inverno
Em quarto lugar o verão
A quinta coisa são teus olhos
Não quero dormir sem teus olhos.
Não quero ser... sem que me olhes.
Abro mão da primavera para que continues me olhando.
(Pablo Neruda)
"If this was us meeting for the first time, I'd do it all again. Everything, the fucks, fuck ups, everything, I'd do it all again."

“Todas as cartas de amor são
Ridículas.
Não seriam cartas de amor se não fossem
Ridículas.
Também escrevi em meu tempo cartas de amor,
Como as outras,
Ridículas.
As cartas de amor, se há amor,
Têm de ser
Ridículas.
Mas, afinal,
Só as criaturas que nunca escreveram
Cartas de amor
É que são
Ridículas.”
(Álvaro de Campo)

Fail better."

Olhos de sapo, patas de rã,
que tenhas Sorte todas as manhãs!
Asas de morcego , baba de lombriga,
que sempre estejas de bem com a vida!
Patas de hipopótamo, couro de dragão,
que nada nunca machuque seu coração!
Dentes de cobra, ossos de urubu
Saibas que gosto muito de TÚ!
Unhas de gato, penas de galinha,
que sempre estejas de bem com sua vizinha!
Prometa:
Vassourinha, vassourinha,
que cada ano eu esteja mais bonitinha.
Sapo, sapinho,
que nunca acabe meu perfume e meu batonzinho.
Caldeirão caldeirinho,
que haja abundância de dinheirinho...
Um Feliz Natal para todos!

“Lily: Ok, yes, it's a mistake. But there are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it is a mistake is to make that mistake and look back and say "Yup, that was a mistake". So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake because then you'll go your whole life not really knowing if something is a mistake or not (...) Does any of this make sense to you?
Ted: I don't know, you said 'mistake' a lot.”
(In ‘How I met your mother’ S01E21)

(Humphrey Bogart in a “Lonely Place”)
" - O problema – começou Anita calmamente – é que quando somos novos pensamos que vamos conhecer todo o tipo de pessoas maravilhosas, que seguir caminhos diferentes e perder amigos é um processo natural. A princípio, não nos preocupamos com os amigos que deixamos para trás. Mas com a idade, torna-se cada vez mais difícil fazer amizades. Demasiadas defesas, muito poucas oportunidades. Temos a vida preenchida. E quando nos apercebemos de que perdemos a melhor amiga que tínhamos, passaram anos e temos a maturidade suficiente para ter vergonha da nossa atitude e, francamente, da nossa arrogância."
(Kate Jacobs em “O Clube de Tricô de Sexta à Noite”)
"After a while you learn the difference between holding hands and falling in love, you begin to learn that kisses don't always mean something and promises can be broken as fast as they are made and sometimes goodbyes really are forever."

“We are all looking for answers. In medicine, in life, in everything. Sometimes the answers we were looking for were hiding just below the surface.

And sometimes, even when we find the answer we've been looking for, we're still left with a whole helluva lot of questions.”

“Nobody chooses to be a freak. Most people don't realize they're a freak until it's way to late to change it.

Because when it comes to love, even freaks can't wait forever.”

“El erotismo es un juego privado en el que sólo el yo y los fantasmas y los jugadores pueden participar, y cuyo éxito depende de su carácter secreto, impermeable a la curiosidad pública.”
(Mario Vargas Llosa)
“Soneto de Separação
DE REPENTE do riso fêz-se o pranto
silencioso e branco como a bruma
E das bocas unidas fêz-se espuma
E das mãos espalmadas fêz-se o espanto.
De repente da calma fêz-se o vento
Que dos olhos desfez a última chama
E da paixão fêz-se o pressentimento
E do momento imóvel fêz-se o drama.
De repente, não mais que de repente
Fêz-se de triste o que se fêz amante
E de sozinho o que se fêz contente.
Fêz-se do amigo próximo o distante
Fêz-se da vida uma aventura errante
De repente, não mais que de repente.”
(Vinicius de Moraes, in 'O Operário em Construção')

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true."
(Meredith Grey in Grey's Anatomy)
“aqui em casa não é poupar. Estive a ler as dicas para economizar e já fazemos quase tudo:
- Lâmpadas económicas.
- Sistema de boleias para o trabalho.
- Fazer comida em casa e levar a marmita para o emprego.
- Desligar carregadores e pilotos.
- Usar os horários económicos para fazer máquinas de roupa e louça.
- Poupar na água, tomando duche, dando banhos a dois aos putos, etc.
Para os radicais (e já li isto muitas vezes), era isto que as pessoas deviam fazer:
- Acabar com a Net e desligar-se definitivamente do mundo (só não percebe que a Net neste momento não é um luxo quem não quer).
- Desligar Meos, Zons e vender as televisões, leitores de DVD´s e frigoríficos (podemos voltar às salgadeiras).
- Comer uma vez por dia (sopa de batata), deixar de beber, de fumar e de comprar preservativos.
- Comprar o essencial da alimentação, arroz e massa. Acabar com o peixe e a carne que são caros e nos legumes e nas frutas que são acessórios.
- Passar a fazer quilómetros a pé em vez de usar o carro. Ou então esperar duas horas pelos transportes públicos inexistentes nesta cidade.
- Last but the not the least: atirar-se de uma ponte abaixo e já morto, nadar para a superfície, abrir uma cova e atirar-se logo lá para dentro, para poupar recursos públicos da investigação do desaparecimento, do resgate do corpo e do transporte para a morgue e, logo depois, para o cemitério”

“…tell me did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there…”
(Train – Drops of Jupiter)
“A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying”.
(Meredith Grey in Anatomia de Grey)

And the moral of that is: Be what you would seem to be, or if you'd like it put more simply: Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.”
