Quotes
Those
are quotes that have touched me in one way or another. They come from anywhere
- from books, from movies, from TV and music. And if you recognize
a quote and think that it's wrong - I know. I shortened them down, took
out lines, and put them together. To make them look even better - at least
to me. :-)

'I wait in the darkness
Frozen winds surround my face
In the cover of darkness I can make
believe it's you
I feel you like the rain
I feel you like a stormcloud building
in my heart
I wonder if you know the pain
To want the one thing that you haven't
got
Won't you leave me in the darkness
Take away the pride all the dignity
that's burning inside
Can't you see I'm standing naked
I'll bear all the crosses and the
crucifixes you can provide
If you could decide'
~ Savage Garden, "Mine"
'It's a fucked up world and a fucked
up place
Everybody's judged by their fucked
up face
Ain't it a shame that you can't say
fuck?
Fuck's just a word
And it's all fucked up'
~ Limp Bizkit, "Hot Dog"
'You get your kicks from the ghost
of a memory
So busy turning away from reality
That you just won't let it go
But you're so wrapped up in her you
don't see straight
Watch her magle the truth while you
take the bait
She doesn't love you anymore
Maybe she did long ago
You're just a slave to the grind she
grew tired of'
~ Savage Garden, "Memories are Designed
to Fade"
'It's so easy to tell a lie
And it's so easy to run and hide
But it's not easy to be alive
So don't be wasting none of my time'
~ Limp Bizkit, "Livin' it Up"
'Maybe your luck has changed
Settle down
Maybe I'm just deranged and on the
rebound
Maybe love was the thing holding me
back from all
Maybe I'm just the thing to break
my own fall'
~ Silverchair, "Black Tangled Heart"
'You think you're special
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it when you laugh at me
Look down on me
And walk around on me
Just one more fight about your leadership
And I will straight up leave your
shit
'Cause I've had enough of this
And now I'm pissed
This time I'm gonna let it all come
out
This time I'm gonna stand up and shout
I'm gonna do things my way
It's my way
My way or the highway'
~ Limp Bizkit, "My Way"
'Alone, you stand allied with your
rival,
decieved by life'
~ Translation of latin sample used
in Savage Garden's "I Want You"
'I hate the way you talk to me,
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots,
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around,
And the fact you didn't call.
But most of all, I hate the way I
don't hate you,
Not even close,
Not even a little bit...
Not even at all.'
~ Julia Stiles as Katrina in "Ten
Things I Hate About You"
'I wouldn't want to disappoint you
by not disappointing you.'
~ David Duchovny
as Agent Fox Mulder on The X-Files, Episode 3x14, "Grotesque"
'Maybe
I'm wrong
Maybe you're
right
Maybe it's just
one of those nights
We fell apart
When we should
have held together
Should have
been warm but I was cool
I should have
known
Oh what a fool
Over for good
When we should
have been forever
Could have been
right
Could have been
true
Could have been
good just seeing it through
We have a chance
If you'd only
stop pretending
Look in my eyes
Look in your
heart
Why can't we
cut straight to the part?
Won't you come
back
And we'll make
a happy ending'
~Worlds
Apart, "Half the Story"
'Love
I beg you
Lift me up into that privileged point
of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Because I console myself that Hallmark
cards are true
I really do
I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy
Love don't leave me
Take these broken wings
I'm going to take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away'
~
Savage Garden, "Gunning Down Romance"
'Time waits
for no one
As sure as the tide pulls the ocean
The path that's been chosen
Can not be changed
In my life's destination
I searched for the explination
Some kind of reason for my sorrow
and pain
But in my isolation
I've learned to listen
To be thankful for the love that I'd
been given'
~
911, "The Journey
'Never
want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to
me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
You could be the best thing about
me
What if you're the best thing about
me?'
~
Savage Garden, "The Best Thing"
'Dance like there's
nobody watching
Love like you'll
never get hurt
Sing like there's
nobody listening
Live like there's
heaven on earth'
~ Unknown
'I
believe in love surviving death into eternity'
~
Savage Garden, "Affirmation"
'I
would die for you
I've been dying
just to feel you by my side, to know that you're mine
I would cry
for you
I will wash
away your pain with all my tears, and drown your fear
I will pray
for you,
I will sell
my soul for something pure and true, someone like you
You will believe
in me, and I will never be ignored
I will burn
for you
Feel pain for
you
I will lie for
you
Beg and steal
for you
Violate all
the love that I'm missing
Throw away all
the pain that I'm living
You will believe
in me, and I could never be ignored
I would die
for you
I would kill
for you
I will steal
for you
I'd do time
for you
I would wait
for you
I'd make room
for you
I'd sail ships
for you,
To be close
to you
To be part of
you
Because I believe
in you
I believe in
you
I would die
for you'
~
Garbage, "#1 Crush"
'I
ran and I ran, I was looking for me
I ran to the
lakes and up to the hills.
I ran and I
ran, I am looking there still.
I ran and I
ran, I'm still running away'
~
Madonna, "Mer Girl"
'No, I'm not
going to die. I'm going to live. Just not as long as you are.'
~ Leelee Sobieski
as Samantha Cavanaugh in "Here on Earth"
'Nothing
that you say will release you
Nothing that
you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what
your words mean to me
Something that
you did will destroy you
Something that
you said will stay with me
Long after you're
dead and gone
Nothing said
could change the fact
My trust was
blind, you broke the pact
If God's my
witness, God must be blind
Take it back,
I dare you, take it back
No you can't,
you should have thought of that
What's inside
a man that goes so wrong?
Choke on guilt
that's far too good for you
Say one word,
I'll laugh and bury you
And leave you
in the place where you left me'
~
Garbage, "As Heaven is Wide"
'It begins where
it ends... in nothingness. A nightmare born from deepest fears, coming
to me unguarded.
Whispering images
unlocked from time and distance. A soul unbound, touched by others but
never held.
On a course
charted by some unseen hand. The journey ahead promising no more than my
past reflected back upon me. Until at last I reached the end. Facing a
truth I could no longer deny. Alone, as ever.'
~ Gillian Anderson
as Agent Dana Scully on The X-Files, Episode 5x07, "Emily"
'For everything
you hate about yourself - forgive yourself.
For everything
you love about yourself - forgive yourself.
For everything
you're ashamed of.
For everything
you're proud of.
For everything
you want to hide.
For everything
you want to show.
For everything
that didn't turn out the way it should have.
For everything
you are.
For everything
you wanted to be.
Forgive yourself.'
~ Jonas Gardell,
"En komikers uppväxt", translated from Swedish by moi
'Hanging
by threads of palest silver
I could have
stayed that way forever
Nothing could
ever seem to touch me
I lose what
I love most
Did you know
I was lost until you found me?
Stroke of luck
or gift from God?
The hand of
fate or devil's claws?
From below or
saints above?
You came to
me
Here comes the
cold again
I feel it closing
in
It's falling
down and all around me, falling
You say that
you'll be there to catch me
Or will you
only try to trap me
These are the
rules I make
Our chains were
meant to break
You'll never
change me'
~
Garbage, "A Stroke of Luck"
'Just
break me
Shake me
Hate me
Take me over
When the madness
stops, then you will be alone'
~
Savage Garden, "Break Me Shake Me"
'Everyone
I know has gone away
Died or left
or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took
for granted
Sometimes turned
away
Sometimes didn't
say what I meant to say'
~
Garbage, "Dog New Tricks"
'But now, I ask
her to lie. To the people lying to us. A dangerous lie to find the truth.
To find the men who would be revealed as its enemy. As our enemy. As the
enemy within.'
~ David Duchovny
as Agent Fox Mulder on The X-Files, Episode 5x02, "Redux"
'Crashing
silent, broken down
Fallen into
night
Who gave up
and who gave in?
I'll go without
a fight
Cut me down
or cut me dead
Cut me in or
out
Kiss me blind
time after time, take away my doubt'
~
Garbage, "Fix Me Now"
'Until
I learn to love myself I am never ever loving anybody else'
~
Madonna, "Secret"
'Between
these walls
And darkened
halls
I've done my
time
If I should
die
Before I wake
Then you'll
know why
Send me an angel
to love
I need to feel
a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel
to love
I'm afraid I'll
never get to heaven'
~
Garbage, "My Lover's Box"
'It's
the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream
afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one
who won't be taken who cannot seem to give,
and the soul
afraid of dying that never learns to live'
~
"The Rose", written by Amanda McBroom, performed by Bette Midler
'This
is what he pays me for
I'll show you
how it's done
You learn to
love the pain you feel
Like father
like son
The queerest
of the queer
Hide inside
your head
The blindest
of the blind
The deadest
of the dead
You're hungry
'cause you starve
While holding
back the tears
Choking on your
smile
A fake behind
the fear'
~
Garbage, "Queer"
'For the first
time I feel time like a heartbeat. The seconds pumping in my breast like
a reckoning.
The numinous
mysteries that once seemed so distant and unreal threatening clarity in
the present of a truth, entertained not in youth, but only in its passage.
I feel these words as if their meanings were weight lifted from me,
knowing that you will read them and share my burden as I have come to trust
no other. That you shall know my heart, look in to it, finding there the
memory and experience that belong to you, that are you. It's a comfort
for me now as I feel the tethers loose, and the prospects darken for the
continuance of journey that began not so long ago, and which began again
with a fate shaken and strengthen by your convictions. If not for which
I might never have been so strong now, as I cross to face you, and
look at you incomplete. Hoping that you will forgive me for not making
the rest of the journey with you.'
~ Gillian Anderson
as Agent Dana Scully on The X-Files, Episode 4x15, "Memento Mori"
'You
pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
Don't believe
in fear
Don't believe
in faith
Don't believe
in anything that you can't break
What drives
you on can drive you mad
A million lies
to sell yourself
Is all you ever
had
Don't believe
in love
Don't believe
in hate
Don't believe
in anything that you can't waste
Don't believe
in fear
Don't believe
in pain
Don't believe
in anyone that you can't tame'
~
Garbage, "Stupid Girl"
'A
lone pair of watchful eyes oversee the living
Feel the presence
all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or
promises
The past is
gone'
~
Savage Garden, "You Can Still Be Free"
'I
never claimed to be your savior
I said I had
a dirty mouth
Stop analyzing
my behavior
If you're too
dumb to work it out
I've got to
keep myself together
You know I hate
to disappoint
A masochistic
lamb to slaughter
Maybe you miss
the point?
You should get
to know me better
No one's ever
what they seem'
~
Garbage, "Dumb"
'Why
did I act like you mattered?
It was silly
of me to believe
That if I just
opened my heart things would come naturally
Joke's on me
I did not ask
for love letters, so why did you give them to me?
How could I
let your intentions get over me?
So in love,
so naive'
~
TLC, "I Miss You So Much"
'Somebody
get me out of here
I'm tearing
at myself
Nobody gives
a damn about me
Or anybody else
And still you
call me codependent
Somehow you
lay the blame on me'
~
Garbage, "Medication"
'More
than angry words I hate this silence, it's getting so loud
Well I want
to scream but bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting
hard to breathe
So tell me isn't
happiness worth more than a gold diamond ring?
I'm willing
to do anything to calm the storm in my heart
I've never been
the praying kind, but lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking
for a miracle, just a reason to believe'
~
Savage Garden, "Hold Me"
'I
used to adore you
I couldn't control
you
There was nothing
that I wouldn't do
To keep myself
around and close to you
Do you have
an opinion?
A mind of your
own?
I thought you
were special
I thought you
should know
But I've run
out of patience
I couldn't care
less'
~
Garbage, "Special"
'He
said I am what I am so be the best that I can
And if them
others don't like it then why should I give a damn?'
~
TLC, "My Life"
'Lately
I'm not the only one
I say never
trust anyone
Always the one
who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll
get what you want this time around?
Can't bear to
face the truth
So sick he cannot
move
And when it
hurts he takes it out on you
She knows the
human heart
And how to read
the stars
Now everything's
about to fall apart
I won't be the
one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll
get what you want this time around?'
~
Garbage, "The Trick is to Keep Breathing"
'Time passes
in moments ... moments which, rushing past define the path
of a life just as surely as they lead towards its end. How rarely
do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen,
to consider whether the path we take in life is our own making or simply
one into which we drift with eyes closed. But what if we could stop,
pause to take stock of each precious moment before it passes? Might
we then see the endless forks in the road that have shaped a life?
And, seeing those choices, choose another path?'
~ Gillian Anderson
as Agent Dana Scully on The X-Files, Episode 7x17, "all things"
'You
could have kissed me like this wasn't gonna last
Kept me from
saying something I'll never take back
You could have
held me like there was no chance
Of me waking
up where I am
You could have
stopped short of every dream I ever had'
~
Gary Barlow, "So Help Me Girl"
'You're
taking me over, over and over
I'm falling
over, over and over
Drown in me
one more time
Hide inside
me tonight
Do what you
want to do
Just pretend
Happy end
Let me know
Let it show
Ending with
letting go
Let's pretend
Happy end'
~
Garbage, "You Look so Fine"
'Don't
go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time
to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're
making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time
will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone'
~
Savage Garden, "Promises"
