Harry Burns7 quotes
When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. — Harry Burns · 1989No man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive he always wants to have sex with her. — Harry Burns · 1989Why, don't you have a dark side? No, you're probably one of those cheerful people who dot their i's with little hearts. — Harry Burns · 1989When I buy a new book, I read the last page first. That way, in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends. That, my friend, is a dark side. — Harry Burns · 1989I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. — Harry Burns · 1989Right now, everything is great, everyone is happy, everyone is in love, and that's wonderful.

This eight dollar dish will cost you a thousand dollars in phone calls to the legal firm of that's-mine-this-is-yours. — Harry Burns · 1989All 7 quotes →Carrie6 quotes
Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be. — Carrie · 2002I am someone who is looking for love. Real love.

Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with. — Carrie · 1999After all, seasons change, so do cities; people come into your life and people go.

And if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away. — Carrie · 2002I like my money right where I can see it-hanging in my closet. — Carrie · 2003That’s the thing about needs. Sometimes when you get them met, you don’t need them anymore. — Carrie · 2002Alvy Singer3 quotes
A relationship, I think, is like a shark, you know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies, and I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark. — Alvy Singer · 1977I don't want to live in a city where the only cultural advantage is you can make a right turn on a red light. — Alvy Singer · 1977I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. You know, the horrible be like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life, it's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So when you go through life, you should be thankful that you're miserable, because you're very lucky, to be miserable. — Alvy Singer · 1977Annie Savoy3 quotes
Making love is like hitting a baseball: you just gotta relax and concentrate. — Annie Savoy · 1988The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self-awareness. — Annie Savoy · 1988Well, actually, nobody on this planet ever really chooses each other. I mean, it's all a question of quantum physics, molecular attraction, and timing. Why, there are laws we don't understand that bring us together and tear us apart. It's like pheromones. You get three ants together, they can't do dick. You get 300 million of them, they can build a cathedral. — Annie Savoy · 1988Jerry Maguire3 quotes

It's all just a...a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know...a quarter-pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle. And I sit back, and I...I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt. — Troy Dyer · 1994Vivian Ward3 quotes

You better do it now, and you better do it fast, because the world doesn't owe you any favors. And whether you know it or not, you're on the inside track to loserville, USA. — Lelaina Pierce · 1994Paul Varjak2 quotes
I don't want to put you in a cage, I want to love you! — Paul Varjak · 1961You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts.

You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing", and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself and it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself. — Paul Varjak · 1961Princess Ann2 quotes
