My Favorite Quotes

So, I was listening to Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas, and one of my all time favorite quotes is in that song. So now I'm just going to copy down some of my favorite quotes in this entry. Mostly just for me, so I have them (and don't have to write them down and make my fingers hurt. Cough--lazy--cough).

So here they are!


First, the above mentioned quote from Pocahontas:

"You can own the Earth and still--all you'll own is earth until you can paint with all the colors of the wind"

Such a beautiful line.

Next, this one is from one of my favorite Hayao Myazaki films called Kiki's Delivery Service. I love it because I can relate so much to the character. She feels like an outsider, who can't seem to find her place. Every person goes through it at some point in their life. This particular quote is nothing special but always stuck out to me because the character, Osono, gives me hope that not everyone is going to be awful.

"Maybe I can find some others like Osono who will like me and accept me for who I am"

This next one is from Cinderella (classic!). Keep on dreamin'.

"No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing...the dream that wish will come true."

I recently read a book called The Fault in Our Stars. It was absolutely fantastic. Hazel, the main character, says this:

"I take quite a lot of pride in not knowing what's cool"

Me too, Hazel, me too.

Next, is a quote by Aristotle.

"The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but developing the capacity to enjoy less."

The Great Gatsby, one of my favorite books that was later turned into a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio (swoon) is FILLED with incredible quotes. This happens to be one of them. Any girl who has ever felt hopeless, heartbroken or betrayed--you can relate:

"And I hope she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl in this world can be. A beautiful little fool. All the bright, precious things fade so fast...and they don't come back"

Okay...it's not necessarily the most happy quote, but it's still good.

And last but not least, the very last lines of King Kong:

"It was beauty who killed the beast"
