Simple Things in Life
Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
When playing games with children, let them win.
When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go
Wave at children on a school bus.
Keep a notepad and pencil on your bedside table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 AM.
Look people in the eye.
Compliment the meal when you are a...

The First Time I Loved Forever
Sung by Lisa Angelle Lyrics by Melanie Safka Poem by E. E. Cummings
Somewhere I have never traveled Gladly beyond any experience Your eyes have their silence And your most frail gesture of things Which enclose me But which I cannot touch Because they are too near.
The first time I loved forever Was when you whispered my name And I knew at once you loved me For the me of who I am The first time I...

The Corrs: Make You Mine
Wondering, waiting for the day to fade away So I can hold you once again and chase the fears away Lie with me Show me how you feel I’m falling for you deeper everyday When the night turns over I’ll lie with you When the morning wakes you I’m there by you When the daylight takes you I’ll miss you Til you come back home to me And I can make you mine oh mine Wanting you Every...
Edwin McCain: I Don't Know How I Got By
How did I wake up each day Before that moment I saw your face Where was I before your touch Nowhere is where I was without you Without you in it, my life was just a lie Before you I don’t how I got by * Before I met you, before I held you in the night - I don’t know how I survived Before I found you, before you made everything right - I was half alive I wasn’t really living...
Train: I Wanna Believe
I don’t wanna wake up ‘Cause that might mean that we could break up But I don’t wanna take up any more of your time than you want me to Now I don’t wanna scare you If it’s too soon to say that I’ll be here for you Or say that I’ll be there for you Or say that I’ll be anywhere for you * I wanna believe, That every moment full of madness Is all for a...
Imagine Me and You (2005)
Rachel: It'll all change when you meet Ms. Right.
Cooper: And how am I supposed to know when I do that? Hmmn?
Rachel: You don't know, not straight away. It just feels..warm and..comfortable and..you hang in there and give it a chance. Before you know it, you're like, "Yeah, this is it. It must be love."
Luce: I don't agree. I think you know immediately. You know, as soon as your eyes... Then everything that happens from then on just proves that you had been right in that first moment. When you suddenly realize that you had been incomplete and now you are whole...
One Tree Hill: Touch Me I'm Going To Scream, Part...
Old Man: I want to tell you something, son. It's the most important thing there is... Love. Finding the right person to spend your life with.
Lucas: I know I made the right choice.
Old Man: (laughs) That's where they get you..thinking you have a choice. Love finds you, son. You don't find love. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, what's written in the stars..A lot to do with the simple fact that most women are smarter than we are..and wily. Your sorry butt never had a chance. But if you want to believe that you had a choice in the matter, I'd say you made a good one.

A Mad Tea-Party, Alice in Wonderland
Alice: Where I come from, people study what they are not good at in order to be able to do what they are good at.
Mad Hatter: We only go around in circles in Wonderland, but we always end up where we started. Would you mind explaining yourself?
Alice: Well, grown-ups tell us to find out what we did wrong, and never do it again.
Mad Hatter: That’s odd! It seems to me that in order to find out about something, you have to study it. And when you study it, you should become better at it. Why should you want to become better at something and then never do it again? But please continue.
Alice: Nobody ever tells us to study the right things we do. We’re only supposed to learn from the wrong things. But we are permitted to study the right things other people do. And sometimes we’re even told to copy them.
Mad Hatter: That’s cheating!
Alice: You’re quite right, Mr. Hatter. I do live in a topsy-turvy world. It seems like I have to do something wrong first, in order to learn from what not to do. And then, by not doing what I’m not supposed to do, perhaps I’ll be right. But I’d rather be right the first time, wouldn’t you?
