Alain Delon

God only knows how much I like this French man.

Be brave and love me back

- I do want someone. Need someone. You're right.
- And?
- And... when I'm with you, I feel like I'm a better person. I feel happier. Less...alone. Less lonely. But it's not as simple as that, is it? Being with someone.
- Isn't it?
- No. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't think so. I mean... can't we just sit like this... for a bit?
- Yeah. We can. For a bit.

All I want for Christmas is you.

DIY lovely hair

How I wish my hair looked that stunning for just one day...

Like a rolling stone

We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, 

or build with them.

William Arthur Ward

The Graduate

- Mrs. Robinson, you didn't... I mean, you didn't expect...

- What?

- I mean, you didn't really think I'd do something like that.

- Like what?

- What do you think?

- Well I don't know.

- For God's sake, Mrs. Robinson. Here we are. You got me into your house. You give me a drink. You... put on music. Now you start opening your... personal life to me and tell me your husband won't be home for hours. 

- So?

- Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?
