Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does
not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its
own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not
rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails...
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NASB)
So these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the
best one of these is love.
(1 Corinthians 13:13 GW)
“(Buck: ) for the moment I met you, I knew I had never known
love before...I love you and I chose you to be my wife...to live with you... to
make you laugh...to stand by your side and to sleep in your arms... to be joy
for your heart and, with God's help, comfort for your soul. ... I’m eternally
grateful for you and now I am eternally yours, forever one.
(Chloe: )...To be yours and yours alone... to laugh with you
in good times support you in bad... to comfort you with my body and mirror you
with my soul...to share everything with you. And now my dream comes true. And I
shall be yours for as long as we both shall live from now until eternity.
(Ray: )...I wasn't prepared for the way you made me smile,
the way you made me feel and the way you made me a better man. You are a
blessing for a life that does not deserve it.
I promise God I will love you today and for the rest of my life.
(Amanda: ) ...I saw you were determine to be the man, the
father and the leader God had chosen you to be, and, suddenly, I felt chosen to
be your helper, your mate, your fiend and your wife... God is glorious. And I
promise to thank Him for you for the rest of my life.”

We both had done the math, and... Kelly added it all up. She knew she had to let me go. I add it up knew that I'd ... I'd lost her. ‘Cause I was never going to get off that island. I was going to die there, totally alone. I mean, I was going to get sick or I was going to get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control...was when and how and where that was going to happen. So..., I made a rope. And I went up to the summit to hang myself. But I had to test it, you know? Of course, you know me. And the weight of the log...snapped the limp of the tree. So I...I...I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted toil had power over nothing. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew...somehow that I had to stay alive. Somehow…I had to keep breathing, even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stay alive. I kept breathing. And then one day that logic was proven all wrong, because the tide... came in, gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I have ice in my class. And I lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I get to keep breathing, because tomorrow, the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

——I want her to be happy. No matter what that means.
Or maybe find someone treat her with all his love.
Treat her good for me.
I want her to meet someone who sees her always as I do now.
Through your eyes.
——That's what I called a prayer.

——Brooks ain't no bug. He's just institutionalized... but I tell you these walls are funny. First you hate them. Then you get used to them. Enough time passes. You get so you depend on them. That's "institutionalized". ----I could never get like that. ----Say that when you've been here as long as Brooks. ----Goddamn right. They send you here for life, that's exactly what they take.
——My wife used to say I'm a hard man to know like a closed book, complained about it all the time. She was beautiful. God, I loved her. I didn't know how to show it, that's all. I killed her.... she died because of me, the way I am.... I didn't pull the trigger.... but I drove her away...
——No, I didn't. Somebody else did. And t wound up here. Bad luck I guess. It floats around. It's got to land on somebody. It was my turn, that all. I was in the path of the tornado. I just didn't expect the storm would last as long as it has.
——I tell you where I'd go. Zihuatanejo. It's in Mexico. A little place on the Pacific Ocean. You know what the Mexican say about pacific? They say it has no memory. That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place without memory. Open a little hotel.... right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat.... fix it up new. Take my guests out.... charter fishing....
----Pacific Ocean? Sh*t. scare me to death something that big. ----You under estimate yourself. Not me. I didn't shoot my wife and I didn't shoot her lover. Whatever mistakes I made, I've paid for them and then so me.... that hotel that boat. I don't think that's too much to ask. ----Mexico is way down there and you're in here and that's the way it is. ----Yeah, right. That's way down there and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice. Get busy living or get busy dying....
——....It's got a long rock wall with a big oak tree at the north end. It's like something out of a Robert Forest poem. It's where I asked my wife to marry me. We went there for a picnic and made love under that oak and I asked and she said yes....
——There is a rock that has no earthy business in Maine--piece of black volcanic glass....Something's buried under it I want you to have.... you'll have to pry it up, to see.
——Every man has his breaking point.
——In 1966, Andy Deferens escaped from Shaw shank Prison. All they found was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old hammer near worn down to the nub. I had though it would take a man 600 years to tuned through the wall with it. Old Andy did it in less than 20. Oh, Andy loved geology. Imagine it appealed to his meticulous nature.... Geology is the study of pressure and time. That all it takes really. Pressure and time.
——I guess after Tommy was killed. Andy decided he'd been here long enough.... Andy crawled to freedom through 500 yards of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine. Or maybe I just don't want to. Five hundred yards. That's the length of five football fields. Just shy of half a mile....
——I have to remind my self that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.

——Wiggle woman! You're goin underneath the ground to night. That's all there to it. I wanna burry ya. I was gonna burry ya. But if you gonna act like a horse's ass... I'm gonna spray this whole goddamn can right in your eyeballs! I'll burn'em right outta your f**kin' head. Then you're gonna be blind and burnin' and buried alive.
——The japs sure know how to hold a grudge, don't they?
——I don't dodge guilt, and I don't Jew out of paying my comeuppance. That woman deserves her revenge and we deserve to die. But then again, so does she. So I guess we just see, won't we?
——I pawned it years ago. You hocked a Hanzo sword? It's priceless. Well, it gets a price in el passé
——Which "R" you filled with, relief or regret? I regret that maybe the greatest warrior I have ever met met her end at the hands of a bushwhakin' scrub, alky, piece of shit like you.
——You know I have always liked that word "gargantuan". I so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence.
——I must warn you young lady, I am susceptible to flattery.
——You know, being a fool for a woman such as yourself is always the right thing to do.

——to the Virgins to Make Much of Time
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old time is still a flying and this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying.
——Carpe diem!=Seize the day!
We are food for worms...each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die...did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives...even one iota of what they were capable? ...These boys are now fertilizing daffodils.
Make your lives extraordinary!
——We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race and the human race is filled with passion.... but poetry, beauty, love these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman's "o me, o life. Of the questions of these recurring of the endless trains of the faithless of cities filled with the foolish. What good amid these o me, o life?" Answer: that you are here. That life exits, and identity that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
——But only in their dreams can men be truly free. It was always thus, and always thus will be.
——Come on are you a man or a amoeba? Now language was developed for one endeavor, and that is? ...To woo women!
——We must constantly look at things in a different way. Just when you think you know something; you have to look at it in another way. Even though it may looks silly or wrong, you must try! Now, when you read, don't JUST consider what the Author thinks consider what you think...you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait it begin, the less likely you are to find it at all.
——Thoreau said, "most man lead lives of quiet desperation. "Don't be resigned to that. Break out! Dare to strike out and find new ground.
——"Oh ,I live to be the ruler of life, not a slave."
——That's just my problem. I've been calm all my life...Carpe diem! Even if it kills me.
——I brought them up here to illustrate the point of conformity: The difficulty in maintaining your own beliefs in the face of others... we al have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that tour beliefs are unique...even though others may think them odd or unpopular. Even though the herd may go, "that's bad. "Robert frost said, "Two roads diverged in a wood. And I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
——Exercising the right not to work. You just illustrated the point--swim against the stream!
——I look like a jerk and I know it.Come on,. Just give me one chance.... you come out with me tonight and then if you don't want to see me again, I swear I'll bow out.
——Leave him be!"
