Quotes Rush

It's been a while since I updated this site ... and finally I am updating it because if not, I'll be someone else's lunch! Argh ... yes, a friend of mine - Guy, has been "pushing" me to update my blogs and I've been doing my best in ... procrastinating it! But this weekend, it's now or never ... hence this post, will be the compilation of the quotes I've been sharing through my Facebook. Hope you like them.

All men are created equal. No matter how hard you try, you can never erase those words. - Harvey Milk

Fear is a friend who's misunderstood. But I know the heart of life is good - John Mayer's song - The Heart of Life


We just get the one life, you know. Just one. You can't live someone else's or think it's more important just because it's more dramatic. What happens matters. May be only to us, but it matters. - Ghost Town (Movie)

and one of the longest quote that I've just needed to share, from the movie Adaptation:

"Do I have an original thought in my head? My bald head. Maybe if I were happier, my hair wouldn't be falling out. Life is short. I need to make the most of it. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I'm a walking cliché. ... If I stop putting things off, I would be happier. All I do is sit on my fat ass. If my ass wasn't fat I would be happier. I wouldn't have to wear these shirts with the tails out all the time. Like that's fooling anyone. Fat ass. I should start jogging again. Five miles a day. Really do it this time. Maybe rock climbing. I need to turn my life around. What do I need to do? I need to fall in love. I need to have a girlfriend. I need to read more, improve myself. What if I learned Russian or something? Or took up an instrument? I could speak Chinese. I'd be the screenwriter who speaks Chinese and plays the oboe. That would be cool. I should get my hair cut short. Stop trying to fool myself and everyone else into thinking I have a full head of hair. How pathetic is that? Just be real. Confident. Isn't that what women are attracted to? Men don't have to be attractive. But that's not true. Especially these days. Almost as much pressure on men as there is on women these days. Why should I be made to feel I have to apologize for my existence? Maybe it's my brain chemistry. Maybe that's what's wrong with me. Bad chemistry. All my problems and anxiety can be reduced to a chemical imbalance or some kind of misfiring synapses. I need to get help for that. But I'll still be ugly though. Nothing's gonna change that." - Charlie Kaufman, Adaptation (Movie)

There's A Fine Fine Line

Heard this song at Hossan Leong's mini concert. It's actually from a Broadway Musical called Avenue Q. Such a meaningful song that contains tons of beautiful quotes. Indeed there's a fine fine line to almost anything you thought are wide apart. Enjoy the video and the lyrics.



There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;

There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.
