Things I Know I Know

Since I've already shared my resolutions for the year, I give you two quotes, which I'm planning to keep well in mind myself for the coming year:

Let it go, let it go
This is smaller than you know
It's no bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road
Let it go, let it go
Gotta leave it all behind you
Give the sun a chance to find you
Let it go
--Let It Go, Something Beautiful, Great Big Sea

The definition of forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past
--Gil Fronsdal

My vote is for:

Madam, I am not in the habit of substituting for spurious Santa Clauses

from the original Miracle on 34th Street

In the spirit of the holiday season (and also because I upgraded and now have filtering) I am taking moderation off, so please feel free to supply your own favorite Christmas movie or Christmas special line ever.

But you will have to go a ways to beat 'substituting for spurious Santa Clauses." Just saying.

Daniel Boone having sex with a bear is stupid and boring. Daniel Boone having sex with a bear when his wife might discover him is stupid, but interesting.

...from Will Shetterly (which you might want to read despite the fact that you've already seen this great quote because he has some good stuff about why some action scenes lack tension even when it seems all the right elements are there)

The quickest way to a man's heart really is through his stomach, because then you don't have to chop through that pesky rib cage.

This was my quote of the day on Google:

I'm seventeen and I'm crazy. My uncle says the two always go together. When people ask your age, he said, always tell them you're seventeen and insane.

--Ray Bradbury

For no apparent reason, this is today's quote:

I don't recall ever fighting Godzilla but that is so what I would have done.

...Bender from Futurama (The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings)
