This is one of my all-time favorite lines from Mad About You!
“Look, it is so simple. You can have a khaki pant that are chinos. You can have chinos that are khaki. But not all chinos are khaki, just like not all khakis are chinos, or even pants. Hell, you could have a khaki shirt or a hat.” Anne Ramsay as Lisa Stemple
“Grief is the price we pay for love.” Queen Elizabeth II
“The Chicago accent is the night shift, the factory worker, the airport baggage handler. It is firefighters, garbage collectors, and busdrivers. It is bad coffee, the funniest guy in the breakroom, and the six days a week for one day off with your family. It is neighborhood know-it-alls and backseat loudmouths. It is complaining about the weather, the mayor, the city that you love. It is a bbq with family and the first snap of a sausage when you bite into it. If the Chicago accent is ugly, then it is an acknowledgment that work in America is ugly, for nobody works like Chicago.” Unknown
“I wanna remember it all. Every detail.” Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Walt Disney
“I only hope that we don’t lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse.” Walt Disney
“Scarlett had never seen Forsyth Park…It caught her unaware, and it took her breath away. A pair of stone sphinxes flanked the entrance…The fountain was two blocks from the entrance, but it was so enormous that it looked very close. Arcs and jets of water lifted and fell like showering diamonds from every direction. Scarlett was spell-bound; she’d never seen anything so spectacular…There was a bright sun that made rainbows in the dancing waters; they flashed, vanished, reappeared with every step Scarlett took. The whitewashed trunks of the trees that lined the path glimmered in the dappled shade from their leaves, leading to the sparkling dazzle of the fountain. When she reached the iron fence that circled the fountain’s basin, she had to tilt her head back to near dizziness to look at the nymph atop its third tier, a statue bigger than she was, the arm held high, grasping a staff that threw a plume of water high, high toward the brilliant blue sky.” Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley
Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence and that, after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be con- signed to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.
Relying on its kindness in this as in other things, and actuated by that fervent love towards it which is so natural to a man who views in it the native soil of himself and his progenitors for several genera- tions, I anticipate with pleasing expectation that re- treat, in which I promise myself to realize without alloy the sweet enjoyment of partaking in the midst of my fellow citizens the benign influence of good laws under a free government—the ever favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors and dangers. George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, Washington’s Farewell Address
“Legacy. What is a legacy? It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.” Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton in Hamilton
“Really wish that I had spent more time appreciating it when it was all happening instead of just worrying about when it would end.” Mandy Moore as Rebecca Pearson in This is Us
