"Rat-a-tou-ille. It's like a stew, right? Why do they call it that? If you're gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious. Ratatouille doesn't sound delicious.

I have a couple from one of my favorite old movies, Operation Petticoat, but they're just a little risque for a family board, so I'll make them all white and you can highlight them if you want to view them:

Begin highlighting here:

(after Tony Curtis returns with a truck full of stolen supplies and equipment) There's only one way to get through this. It's like watching a strip-teraser - don't ask how it's done, just enjoy what's coming off.

(when informed that Tony Curtis has dissapeared, along with one of the nurses and a small raft) Lieutenant, when a woman's under 21 she's protected by law. When she's over 65 she's protected by nature. Anywhere in between - she's fair game!

End here

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

:write:

This quote has stayed with me from the first time I read it in high school.
From Thornton Wilder's Our Town:

After one last look at Grover's Corners and being alive, Emily tells the Stage Manager she is ready to go back to the graveyard. She asks, "Doesn't anyone ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?" The Stage Manager responds. "No. Saints and poets, maybe; they do some."
