Childhood Sweetheart:
“As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”
-------------------
Big: I'll call you.
Carrie: For what? We're so over. We need a new word for over.
Somewhere out there is another little freak who will love us, understand us, and kiss our three heads and make it all better.
---------------
In love relationships there is a fine line between pleasure and pain. In fact it is a common belief that a relationship without pain is a relationship not worth having. To some pain implies growth. But how do we know when the growing pains stop and the pain pains begin? Are we masochists or optimists if we continue to walk that fine line?
Carrie: What do you want?
Mr. Big: Why don’t we save time and you just tell me what I want?
--------------
Sometimes second chances work out even better than the first because you learn from your mistakes.
-------------
I was afraid if I looked up into his eyes, I'd turn to stone. How could I have let myself believe things would be different the second time around? I'd never even heard of an urban relationship myth in which a self-centered, forty-two year old baby magically transformed into a grown man that you could bring out in public.
------------------
Somewhere out there, Mr. Big was alone again. The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humor.
-----------------
My mind was yelling how angry I was... But my heart, my heart... and just like that, I lost my head.'
“When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psycho.”
-------------
I wanted to go to him, but I felt like I was tied to the chair. Some part of me was holding me back, knowing I had gone too far, reached my limit.
Movie Buddy:
Carrie: Well, sometimes a person needs a little space.
Big: From you? This guy must be crazy.
Carrie: Spoken by the man who moved 3000 miles away.
---------------------
Does anybody really know when it’s right? And how do you know – are there signs? Fireworks? Is it right when it feels comfortable or is comfortable a sign that there’s no fireworks?
Is hesitation a sign that it’s not right, or is it just a sign that you’re not ready? In matters of love how do you know when it’s right?
Yes it was a great love, but he went that way and i went this way...
---------------------------
It seems like you had me but I've never had you.
--------------------------
What does this really mean? The ball is in my court or something? I don´t wanna play games. This is not the grand gesture. This is the vague gesture. Which is truly worse than no gesture at all.
--------------------------
Soulmate. Two little words, one big concept. A belief that someone, somewhere, is holding the key to your heart. And your dreamhouse. All you have to do is find them. So, where is this person? And if you love someone and it didn't work out, does that mean they weren't your soulmate? Were they just a runner-up contestant in this gameshow called happily ever after?
-----------------------------------
After he left, I cried for a week, and then I realised I do have faith. Faith in myself, faith that I would one day meet someone... who would be sure that I was the one.
----------------------------------
How do you bounce back when reality batters your belief system and love does not, as promised, conquer all?
---------------------------------
I finally figured out the only way to have Big in my life was to block out certain feelings. And now every feeling that I ever had is bubbling up all over the place with nowhere to go except out my eyeballs.
------------------------------
Carrie: You do this every time! Every time! What? Do you have some sort of radar? Carrie might be happy, it's time to sweep in and shit all over it?
Big: What? No, no, I came here to tell you something. I made a mistake. You and I.
Carrie: You and I nothing You can't do this to me again! You can not jerk me around!
Big: Carrie, listen to me. It is different this time.
Carrie: Oh, it's never different! It's six years of never being different! This is it! I am done! Don't call me ever again! Forget you know my number! In fact, forget you know my name! And you can drive up this street all you want... because I don't live here any more
So just love, make mistakes, and have wonderful times, but never second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly, where it is you are going.
------------
Carrie: Here in my arms was a guy who wanted to make my home better. And somewhere out there was one who wanted to pull it apart. It wasn't a left- or right-brainer, it was a no-brainer.
------------
I wanted to tell him I was afraid he could never love me the way I wanted to be loved. I was afraid that maybe he didn't have the capacity to love anyone but himself. I was afraid that, given the chance, he'd break my heart again. But I cheated and just said 'I guess I was afraid.'
------------
“When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”
They say that opposites attract, but they never say for how long, i couldn’t help wondering, without sharing the word, could even the hottest relationship stop cold?
--------------------
I had a choice. I could run, or I could stand and ask him the question that if I didn't ask, would haunt me the rest of my life.
-------------------
Big: Carrie... Hold it, wait, wait.
Carrie: What? What? What is it?
Big: Don't end it like this.
Carrie: No, you're the one that ended it like this. I was trying to be friendly. So you know what, this seems like a much better way to end things.
--------------------
I feel sorry for Big, I really do. Because if you think about it, I was the best thing that ever happened to him. Actually, no. I pity him because I get to walk away and be me, and he has to walk away and stay him, you know? And who wants to be him when you could be me? I mean, I'm smart, I'm funny... I was this, this thing, you know I was it. I was this magic moment. I was the abracadabra. I was totally the "poof" in the relationship. I mean, I've got more "poof" in one finger than he could ever have. I mean, geez, sometimes I "poof" just hailing a cab. So I guess it's better to know now. So I can go "poof" someone else. Someone who deserves me, and not some screwed-up, insecure guy who can't deal with a woman who's got her act together. Now, I'm gonna end up deliriously happy and Big is gonna die old and alone, and I pity him. Really, I pity him.
-------------------------
Uh huh. Most women aren't angry, irrational psychos. We just want an ending to a relationship that... That is thoughtful and decent and honours what we had together. So my point, Billy, is this; There is a good way to break-up with someone, And it doesn't include a post-it.
Oh, no no no, it's my own fault. I had to make the big let's-be-friends speech... But who am I kidding? Big and I were never friends. We were...something else.
------------------
When things come too easy we're suspect. Do they have to get complicated before we believe they're for real? We're raised to believe that the course of true love never runs smoothly. There always have to be obstacles in Act Two before you can live happily ever after in Act Three. But what happens when the obstacles aren't there? Does that mean there's something missing? Do we need drama to make a relationship work?
----------------
Suddenly my life was all about timing. All the right things at all the wrong times. My past coming back way too fast, and my future taking way too long to come home.
---------------
Einstein's Law of Relativity would have to be amended to include a special set of rules. Those to explain the peculiar effects of infatuation.
--------------
Carrie: ...because being in an actual relationship means taking a risk, you know? It's just, a leap of faith. No matter how many times one might have been disappointed in the past. So... So I said to myself, I'm just gonna show up. 'Cause you're a good man. A really good man. ... So why haven't you called me back?
---------------
Carrie: I have a crush.
Miranda: Um, yea, you haven't had a crush in a while, not since Big.
Carrie: Big wasn't a crush, he was a crash.
FUTURE ETERNAL FLAME:
I've done the merry-go-round. I've been through the revolving doors. I feel like I've met somebody I can stand still with for a minute. And don't you want to stand still with me?
--------------------
His hello was the end of her endings
Her smile, their first step down the aisle
His hand would be hers to hold forever
His forever was as simple as her smile
He said she was what was missing
She said instantly she knew
She was a question to be answered
And his answer was I do
-------------------
When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less...than BUTTERFLIES...
