5 Phrases worth the ticket

Sometimes, when you are at a theater and you watch a movie, there are several phrases, so great and touching phrases, that are, by themselves, worth the ticket. My top 5 list is:

-Adaptation.: "You are what you love, not what loves you"
-Vanilla Sky: "The little things, there's nothing bigger, is there?"
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: "Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?"
-Closer:"Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off.. but it's better if you do"
And, well, of course..
-American Beauty: "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

So, which are yours?

Mr.MackeyMmmkay, thats my favorite ES quote!

but some of my other favorites are....

A bird may love a fish, but where would they live?
-then i shall build you wings --Ever After

but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... -American Beauty

When someone you love dies, you don't lose them all at once. You lose them in pieces over time, like how the mail stops coming -Simon Burch

Momma: You're my knight in shimmering armor. Did you know that?

Everything Jimmy Stewart says in Harvey

I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
