Movie Quote Monday – Moonstruck (again)

I couldn’t let February go without one last Valentine-y movie quote.  And I hadn’t planned on using another Moonstruck quote (at least not so soon), but I couldn’t didn’t resist that, either.

This is from the same scene as the last Moonstruck quote, and it’s Ronny’s response to Loretta, who said she could resist the pull she felt toward him.  She told him a person can learn from their mistakes, that they can “say yes to some things and no to other things that are gonna ruin everything”.

Ronny:  Love don’t make things nice – it ruins everything.  It breaks your heart.  It makes things a mess!  We, we aren’t here to make things perfect.  The snowflakes are perfect…  The stars are perfect.  Not us – not us.  We are here to ruin ourselves and…and to break our hearts.

What do you think?  

I was really struck by thesinglecell’s quote about love on last week’s Infinite Monkey, and I wonder if she and Ronny are right.

It’s snowing today (snow!) , so we stayed indoors with a project.

by another hour and a half when I immediately got on the wrong exit.
I wasn’t paying a bit of attention to what I was doing!
I just got on 81 at the first ramp I saw.  What an idiot.
But I figured it out as soon as I saw a sign that said,
“Welcome to Tennessee”. continue reading…

Year of Quotes No. 8

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on being worth it

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

It is not hard to love someone. What is hard is to be secure in that love. What is harder still is to know whether it is foolish to love. And hardest of all is to know whether being foolish might be worth it.
