"It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate-it takes strength to be gentle and kind."

“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” — Oscar Wilde

“I want someone who will be monogamous and nice to his mother, and I want someone who likes musicals but knows to just shut his mouth when I’m watching Lost, and I want someone who thinks being really into cars is lame, and strip clubs are gross. I want someone who will actually empty the dishwasher instead of just taking out forks as needed, like I do. I want someone with clean hands and feet and beefy forearms like a damn Disney prince, and I want him to genuinely like me, even when I’m old. And that’s what I want.” — Liz Lemon

“I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.” — Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
