Favourite movie quotes:
ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of the season from 'Elf', "Smiling is my favourite." "Make work your new favourite, ok. Work is your new favourite"
And from 'You've Got Mail',
"Joe"? "Just call me Joe"? As if you were one of those stupid 22-year old girls with no last name? "Hi, I'm Kimberly!" "Hi, I'm Janice!" Don't they know you're supposed to have a last name? It's like they're an entire generation of cocktail waitresses.
Favourite book of all time is Pride and Prejudice, but a better read in some ways in Persuasion, so I recommend Persuasion as my must-read.
"I want my two dollars!" Better Off Dead
ReplyDeleteMy Antonia by Willa Cather

I haven't watched a movie in a long time so I don't remember cool quotes I could tell you.
ReplyDeleteAs for a book, I loved Diana Gabaldon's Outlander serie !
I come from a family of movie quoters. Bazillions jump into my head when thinking of a favorite. I use "And that's all I need..." from The Jerk all the time.
ReplyDeleteBook? The works of Shel Silverstein and Dr Suess still get to me even as an adult. :) The Giving Tree has to be an all time, forever favorite.
First: You have the Best. Blog name. Ever.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so movie quote would be: "Son, you got a panty on your head," from Raising Arizona

Movie quote - anything from Princess Bride, as that's the only movie I can quote ;)
ReplyDeleteBook - Robert Sawyer has some neat sciency stuff lately.
My favorite movie quote is "I don't think that means what you think that means", from the Princess Bride, and you must read East of Eden. One of the greatest novels ever written.

ReplyDeleteYour must read book is 'The Help" and my favorite movie quote ever is from Stardust:
ReplyDelete"You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, seen centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... Made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves... I mean, you could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan, is... I think I love you. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange — no gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me, too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."
Thank you for the opportunity to win your giveaway! Happy Holidays to you and your family <3 xo

ReplyDeleteMovie quote, possibly Forrest Gump's Life is like a box of chocolates, you never what you're going to get.

The Amy Butler fabric is gorgeous.
My favorite movie quote, hmm. "For though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. For the author of all things watches over me. And I have a fine horse." Not my favorite, necessarily, but a good one.
ReplyDeleteAs for a book you should read, please read Eating Animals. It will open your eyes to the industrialization of farming in America and what that means for consumers, both in terms of health and, more importantly, in terms of karma.
Movie quote? Are you kidding? My mind goes blank. Its not like I don't watch movies. Ok, how about this, "Frying pan, huh? Who knew?" from Tangled. My kids have been saying that one. I hope I win, cause I sat here long enough trying to come up with something! A book I like is "Little Britches" by Ralph Moody. Or Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy series.
