I volunteer at this place that helps low income people find jobs and housing and do their resumes and get their lives on track. And I’ve been educating the planet about feminism being the best and it’s all been wonderful. Good job, self. My suitemate said I changed her life. :)

63 - 64 2 weeks ago

63. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages.

- Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

64. I’ve spent my entire life doing what she’s done, loving the one not there, somebody I’ve never met. I have a rough idea of what he looks like. I have a more specific take on what he thinks and what he feels. I have an almost exact sense of how he makes me feel. I’ve never met him. I may never meet him. I’ve actually been told he’s not even out there. The men or women in our dreams live in our dreams. And in the real world, we should be allowed to settle for the ones who come close, and that’s what she did. And it was the… reasonable thing to do.

—Ally McBeal

Ally McBeal quotes! I love this show. Larry Paul stole my heart. And I’m Ally, so.

56. Larry: Don’t you think I’d want to be with Jamie? She’s the mother of my son. All I have to do to be with him every day is get back with her. And in a fleeting second yesterday I wanted to believe it could work if I could just will myself to. God knows my life would be simpler.
Ally: So then why don’t you just do it!
Larry: Because! I love you!
Ally: Fine, fine, that makes it all better, doesn’t it!
Larry: Did you hear what i just said?! I’ve never loved anybody as much as I love you. And I’m only at the beginning of loving you. And you might think the smartest thing for you to do here is just move on. He’s got an ex-wife, he’s got a kid, he kissed somebody else, just move the hell on. Well, it’s not smart, Ally. It’s heart-stupid. ‘Cause you love me too.
Ally: Love isn’t always enough.
Larry: Yes it is. You go without it long enough and you realize it’s everything.

- Ally McBeal

57. Larry: Maybe she just got so used to being rejected that at some point she was no longer open to the idea that, hey, things could work. Sometimes people, on occasion – I’ve been one of them – they get so used to things not working out they strangely become more comfortable with failure than they are with success. Everything could have worked out here. All she had to do was let it.

- Ally McBeal

58. Ally: I just got this piano. And sometimes I sing this song called “Goodnight My Someone” and it’s about, well, basically, it’s a love song to someone you’ve never met but that you know is out there. And, I don’t know, we make so few promises to ourselves as we grow up, and one of them is that on our wedding day we walk down the aisle with somebody we love. Somebody who does make your heart bounce, I guess. And there are some promises, Harry, that I think we just have to keep.

- Ally McBeal

59. Larry: You think i’m just going to sit back and wait for you to get with the program? you might be afraid of all this, Ally, but… i’m not.
Ally: Larry, you have only seen the tip of the neurotic iceberg. i’m demented.
Larry: What else?
Ally: Self absorbed.
Larry: What else?
Ally: Vain.
Larry: What else?
Ally: Beautiful. That’s a good thing.
Larry: What else?
Ally: Maybe incapable of letting myself be loved.
Larry: Well, we’d have to work on that.
Ally: Do you have any idea what you’re getting yourself into? I’m afraid to trust it.
Larry: Then we need to work on that too.

- Ally McBeal

60. Jamie: Wow. You really love this woman.
Larry: Ally—Yeah, I do. And just because I’m still sexually attracted to you, and just because i have a son with you… You and I could never work, you know that.
Jamie: Why not?
Larry: Because, you’re not – you’re not her. I will always love you. You will always be in my life. But she’s it. And even if it’s now over between us, believe me, you don’t want to be following her. Because she’s – she’s it.

- Ally McBeal

61. Larry: Ally, don’t run from me. Don’t run from whatever you’re feeling. You didn’t think I was scared? I’ve been dating one woman after the other, it gets as easy as it does old, and suddenly you’re with somebody who could be right? It’s terrifying.

- Ally McBeal

62. John: The world is no longer a romantic place. Some people still are, however. And therein lies the promise. Don’t let the world win, Ally McBeal.

63. Ally: I just got this piano. And sometimes I sing this song called “Goodnight My Someone” and it’s about, well, basically, it’s a love song to someone you’ve never met but that you know is out there. And, I don’t know, we make so few promises to ourselves as we grow up, and one of them is that on our wedding day we walk down the aisle with somebody we love. Somebody who does make your heart bounce, I guess. And there are some promises, Harry, that I think we just have to keep.

- Ally McBeal

and I’m sure there will be more. This show. This show.
