Make a decision, for love, for yourself

Have you ever thought that true love might just be a conspiracy, a lie concocted by the film industry, the publishing world, and the music industry. You know I've been waiting for my face to be covered in dust, my temples like frost, and I haven't waited for true love to come. Then should I be qualified to doubt that it exists.
We are often discouraged because things often don't go as smoothly as we thought. But I have to admit that most of the reason for the unhappiness is that we have used the time when we should have used actions to make it closer to reality.
You should give true love a chance, Jacks said. True love is not something that can be produced in a flash, and love at first sight is often crushed the second time they meet. I'm not sure he is, but I'm willing to give him a chance. A pie from the sky doesn't have to fall right on your head, you should try to look up, and then take that small step forward when the time is right. True love is a process, not an event. You go to see a movie because you love a poster, but whether you love it depends on Gwyneth Paltrow and Orlando Bloom.
So if you don't have the courage to fly to Buenos Aires to make your own chances, at least in God's favor, when you run into each other on the subway, remember to turn around and chase after them.

    Why do I find this movie so boring.

Love and Other Disasters quotes

  • Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: An early departure? What are the chances of that? If this was a movie, there wouldn't be an early departure.

    Peter Simon: If this was a movie, you'd be blonde.

    Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: If this was a movie, you'd be famous.

    Peter Simon: That's the problem with life. It's nothing like movies.

  • Therapist: Relationships are best measured by farting.

    Peter Simon: Excuse me?

    Therapist: The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stage one is the conspiracy of silence. This is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy, "Ooh, did you fart," followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy. A period I like to call the "Fart Honeymoon", where both parties find each other's gas just the cutest thing in the world. But, of course, no honeymoon can last forever. And so we reach the critical fork in the fart. Either the fart loses its power to amuse and embarrass thereby signifying true love, or else it begins to annoy and disgust, thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formerly beloved. Do you see what I'm getting at?
