Madonna

Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.

A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.

Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.

I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.

Strong women leave big hickies

I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.

I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl. I want to rule the world.

Better to live one year as a tiger, than a hundred as a sheep.

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.

I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.

I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.

I'm anal retentive. I'm a workaholic. I have insomnia. And I'm a control freak. That's why I'm not married. Who could stand me?

I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

It takes a REALLY big man to fill my shoes

I always thought I should be treated like a star.

I feel just as hungry today as I did the day I left home.

It is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chastity and virginity.

Audrey Hepburn

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day, For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.

I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.

If I get married, I want to be very married.

Let me tell you something, Mister. If I had her money, I'd be richer than she is.

I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

If I blow my nose, it gets written all over the world.

Paris is always a good idea.

Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.

I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

My own life has been much more than a fairy tale. I`ve had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties I`ve gone through, I`ve always gotten a prize at the end.

For me, the only things of interest are those linked to the heart.

I know I have more sex appeal on the tip of my nose than many women in their entire bodies. It doesn`t stand out a mile, but it`s there.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!

The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.

There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

Why change? Everyone has his own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

I don’t take my life seriously, but I do take what I do – in my life – seriously.

If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and off the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.

There must be something wrong with those people who think Audrey Hepburn doesn’t perspire, hiccup or sneeze, because they know that’s not true. I n fact, I hiccup more than most.

On the one hand maybe I’ve remained infantile, while on the other I matured quickly, because at a young age I was very aware of suffering and fear.

The Secret Garden (1993) by Agnieszka Holland

Mary: My name is Mary Lennox. I was born in India. It was hot, and strange, and lonely in India. I didn't like it. Nobody by my servant, my ayah, looked after me. My parents didn't want me. My mother cared only to go to parties. And my father was busy with his military duties. I was never allowed to go to the parties. I watched them from my mother's bedroom window. I was angry, but I never cried. I didn't know how to cry.

Colin: Hair is dead.

Mary: If it's dead, why does it keep growing all the time, even after you're dead? Well, maybe not your hair. You'll probably be bald.

Colin: Don't be daft. I'll die before I'm ever old enough to go bald.

Mary: I hate the way you talk about dying.

Colin: Everyone thinks I'm going to die.

Mary: If everyone thought that about me, I still wouldn't do it.

Mary: You don't know anything about anything; none of you - nothing!

Colin: Are you making this magic?

Mary: No, you are.

Colin: Just like in the story. It's like the whole universe is in here.

Mary: I'm certain it is.

Colin: That means I could marry you.

Mary: What? But we're cousins!

Colin: I don't care. I want us always to be together.

Mary: We are together.

Lord Craven: You brought us back to life, Mary. You did something I thought no one could do.

Colin: See, that's a picture of my mother.

Mary: Why do you keep it covered up?

Colin: My father doesn't like to see it. I don't look like her at all. But you, you look like her. She smiles too much.

Mary: Smiles too much? How can a person smile too much?

Colin: Sometimes I hate her. She died when I was born.

Mary: But I thought she died falling off the swing in her garden.

Colin: Her garden? What garden?

Mary: Oh, just a garden.

Colin: I'm going to die.

Mary: From what?

Colin: Everything.

Mary: Oh, stop it! I hate you! Everybody hates you! You're so selfish. You the most selfish boy there ever was!

Colin: I'm not as selfish as you are! Just because I'm always ill!

Mary: No on ill could scream like that!

Colin: I'm going to die!

Mary: What would you know about dying?

Colin: My mother died!

Mary: Both my parents died!

If I had but an hour of love, If that be all that is given me,

An hour of love upon this earth, I would give my love to thee.

The Lovely Bones (2009) by Peter Jackson

The Virgin Suicides (1999) by Sofia Coppola

Doctor: What are you doing here, honey? You're not even old enough to know how bad life gets.

Cecilia: Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl.

The trees, like lungs, filling with air. My sister - the mean one - pulling my hair.

Have we photosynthesized our breakfast today?

I baked a pie full of rat poison. I though I could eat it, you know, without being suspicious. My nana, who is 86... she really likes sweets. She had three pieces.

We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.

So much has been said about the girls over the years. But we have never found an answer. It didn't matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls... but only that we had loved them... and that they hadn't heard us calling... still do not hear us calling them from out of those rooms... where they went to be alone for all time... and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together.

She was the still point of the turning world, man.

What we have here is a dreamer. Someone completely out of touch with reality.

No one could understand how Mrs. Lisbon and Mr. Lisbon, our math teacher, could produce such beautiful creatures.

Lux lost it over Kevin Haynes, the garbageman. She'd wake up at 5 in the morning and lay about on the front porch like it wasn't completely obvious! She wrote his name in marker in all her bras and underwear and mum found them and bleached out all the Kevins. Lux has been crying on her bed all day.

What lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts: a clock ticking on a wall, a room dim at noon, and the outrageousness of a human being thinking only of herself.

Collecting everything we could of theirs, the Lisbon girls wouldn't leave our minds but they were slipping away. The color of their eyes was fading along with the exact locations... of moles and dimples. From five, they had become four, and they were all the living and the dead, becoming shadows. We would have lost them completely if the girls hadn't contacted us.

When she jumped, she probably thought she could fly.

That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that ,that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.

Never Been Kissed (1999) by Raja Gosnell

La Science des Rêves (2006) by Michel Gondry

Stéphane Miroux:

- Tonight I'll show you how dreams are prepared,............. love, friendships, relationships. All those ships.

- Would you marry me when we are seventy? You have nothing to lose.

- I like your boobs. I think they're very friendly and unpretentious.

- P. S. R. Parallel Synchronized Randomness. An interesting brain rarity and our subject for today. Two people walk in opposite directions at the same time and then they make the same decision at the same time. Then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it. Basically, in a mathematical world these two little guys will stay looped for the end of time. The brain is the most complex thing in the universe and it's right behind the nose. Fascinating!

- I like it when you cry, because it means you have to wear your glasses. No, actually I don't like it when you cry. I find it horrible. Especially when it's not for me.

- I love her because she makes things. You know? She makes things with her hands. It's as if her synapses was married directly to her fingers

- No, I can't speak French with you. I'm too shy. The only thing I can say is: "I like your tit. It erects me in my pants."

- Stephanie, can you hold my hand? I cannot sleep...She takes it.

Stéphanie: Things will turn out the way you want, if you stop doubting that I love you.
Stéphanie: Randomness is very difficult to achieve... organization always merges back if you don't pay attention.
Stephane: Death to organization.

Stéphanie: I'm not sure I should accept this gift. Why do I deserve a present anyway?
Stephane: Because...for the occasion that you are pretty.

Stéphanie: Why me?
Stephane: Because everyone else is boring. And because you're different
