I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride.

I love you because I know no other way then this.

So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand.

So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep.

(Hunter Adams in Patch Adams)

It’s not about what happened in the past, or what you think might happen in the future. It’s about the ride, for Christ’s sake. There is no point in going through all this crap, if your are not going to enjoy the ride. And you know what… when you least expect something great might come along. Something better then you even planned for.

(Irving Feffer in Along Came Polly)

Just the fact that people seem to be getting dumber and dumber. You know, I mean we have all this amazing technology and yet computers have turned into basically four figure wank machines. The internet was supposed to set us free, democratize us, but all it’s really given us is Howard Dean’s aborted candidacy and 24 hour a day access to kiddie porn. People…they don’t write anymore - they blog. Instead of talking, they text, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it’s just a bunch of stupid people sudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people at a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King’s English.

David Duchovny como Hank em Californication

Sabem, todos somos pessoas simples.
Mas mesmo uma simples secretária
ou uma dona de casa ou um adolescente
pode, com as suas pequenas
possibilidades, acender uma pequena luz
num quarto escuro.

Miep Gies em Freedom Writers

If the Internet teaches us anything, it is that great value comes from leaving core resources in a commons, where they’re free for people to build upon them as they see fit.

Lawrence Lessig

“É bom não esquecer que, no primeiro semestre deste ano, os lucros do BCP foram de apenas 307,9 milhões de euros.

É natural que aquela gente ande transtornada.”

(Ricardo Araújo Pereira in Visão)

I love my phone machine.

I wish I was a phone machine.

I wish if I saw somebody on the street I didn’t want to talk to, I could go:

“Excuse me; I’m not in right now. If you would just leave a message, I could walk away.”

Jerry Seinfeld, Episódio 4, epoca 2

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Marianne Williamson in “a return to love”
