Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away.
Often falsely attributed George Carlin, American comedian[citation needed]
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
Begin each day like it was on purpose .
So how does it happen, great love? Nobody knows... but what I can tell you is that it happens in the blink of an eye. One moment you're enjoying your life, and the next you're wondering how you ever lived without them.
Basic Principles-no woman wakes up saying "God, I hope I don't get swept off my feet today!" Now, she might say "This is a really bad time for me," or something like "I just need some space ," or my personal favorite "I'm really into my career right now." You believe that? Neither does she. You know why?'Cause she's lying to you, that's why. You understand me? Lying! It's not a bad time for her. She doesn't need any space. And she may be into her career, but what she's really saying is "Uh, get away from me now," or possibly "Try harder, stupid," but which one is it ? 60% of all human communication is nonverbal body language; 30% is your tone, so that means 90% of what you're saying ain't coming out of your mouth. Of course she's going to lie to you! She's a nice person! She doesn't want to hurt your feelings! What else she going to say? She doesn't even know you... yet. Luckily, the fact is that just like the rest of us, even a beautiful woman doesn't know what she wants until she sees it, and that's where I come in. My job is to open her eyes. Basic Principles-no matter what, no matter when, no matter who. .. any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet; he just needs the right broom.no matter when, no matter who... any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet; he just needs the right broom.no matter when, no matter who... any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet; he just needs the right broom.
No guile, no game... No girl
[to Albert after his dancing exhibition] Don't need no pizza. They've got food there.
[to Albert] One dance, one look, one kiss, that's all we get, Albert. Just one shot, to make the difference between "happily ever after" and "Oh? He's just some guy I went to some thing with once."
Because that's what people do. They leap, and hope to God they can fly, because otherwise you just drop like a rock, wondering the whole way down, why in the *hell* did I jump? But here I am, Sarah, falling, and there's only one person who makes me feel like I can fly... That's you.
I'm a guy. Since when do we get anything right the first time?
I'm like a vault baby, locked down!
Don't...ever...do that again!
I saw that going differently in my mind.
[last lines] Basic principles-there are none.

Hitch quotes

  • Vance: [grabs Hitch by the wrist] You see what I'm doing? This is what I'm about - power suit, power tie, power steering. People can wince, cry, beg, but eventually they do what I want.

    Hitch: Oh! So that's, like, a metaphor?

    Vance: Oh, yeah.

    Hitch: Right. Well, see, I'm more of a literal kind of guy. So when I do this...

    [he reverses the grip, twists Vance's arm back and slams him on the table]

    Hitch: This is more like me saying that I will literally *break your shit off* if you ever touch me again. Okay, pumpkin?
