Autumn, Rose G. Kingsley


In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November.

- Rose G. Kingsley

정원에서 맞는 가을은 실로 한 해 중 더 없이 영광스러운 계절로서, 몇 달 동안 생각하고 돌보며 고생한 결실을 가져다 줍니다. 그리고 아마 수선화가 필 때를 제외하면 그 어느 계절도 8월부터 11월 만큼 화려한 색으로 빛나는 때는 없을 겁니다.

Life, Ally Mcbeal


The real truth is, I probably don't want to be too happy or content. Because, then what? I actually like the quest, the search. That's the fun. The more lost you are, the more you have to look forward to. What do you know? I'm having a great time and I don't even know it.

- Calista Kay Flockhart as Ally McBeal from Ally McBeal

Love, Billy Crystal as Harry Burns from When Harry Met Sally (1989)


Harry: Well, how does it work?
Sally: I don't know, but not this way.
Harry: How about this way? I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
Sally: You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you, and I hate you, Harry. I really hate you. I hate you.
[They kiss]
