First Season McBealism

Wow.. it's been a while since my last quotable quotes. Well after a marathon of the Ally McBeal series, I manage to sort some Mcbealism, Fishism, and even Cageism from the first season. Some make sense, some just don't, and most of it just sounds hillarious.. haha.. Enjoy it though..

Because whoever said that "plenty of fish in the sea" thing, is lying. Sometimes there's only one fish. Trust me. ~Ally ep.2

I object to people who everytime they do something scummy blame it on the environment. ~Ally ep.3

Love. It's an equation, a "me", a "you", derives a "we". It's that simple. What I'm saying is, the foundation for any "we" is a "me", and if the "me" is a work in progress, for God's sake don't start constructing the "we". ~Richard ep. 3

The world is no longer a romantic place. Some of its people still are however. And there in lies the promise. ~John ep. 6

Life is just a stupid game. Doesn't matter what you do or what you have. If you're loved in the end then you wind. ~Richard ep. 10

But sometimes the thing that you regret the most are the things that you don't do. ~Ally ep. 19

The thing about hope, many people secretly wish that that moment never does presents itself. Because if it does the hope could be dashed. ~John ep. 22

Courage is when the time comes to jump and you jump. Courage is knowing you can't not jump. ~John ep. 22

A friendship isn't real unless both sides have the right and the power to tell the other to go to hell. ~Mr. Michaelson ep. 23

If you think back and replay your year and if it doesn't bring you tears either joy or sadness, consider the year wasted. ~John ep. 23

Epitaph on The World

Here lies the body of this world,
Whose soul alas to hell is hurled,
This golden youth long since was past,
Its silver manhood went as fast,
An iron age drench on at last;
'Tis vain its character to tell,
The several fates which it befell,
What year it died, when 'twill arise,
We only know that here it lies.

~H.D. Thoreau

Ever After

To live ever after
Is such a grand desire
That each individual strives for
At one time or another in their life
A desire that yearns to find that gift
Which seems to last forever

But to live to find a love like is found only in a dream
For when we dreams we eventually wake up,
Only to find our dream shattered into a nightmare
So why do it? Why fall for just one small feeling
For one split second in a lifetime
All for love?

They say to experience such a tender and fragile gift
One must find what's in themselves first
Who they really are
Learn to love yourself
And appreciate tha you, may just be worth something special
So special it will catch the eye of another
Who will love you for who you are
And not for the mask
from which you hide yourself from the world everyday
Let yourself free from all the pressures
That try to dictate who you are
or who you could become

Sometimes the best gifts in life are takes with the biggest risks
It may cause some heartache
But to have just one taste of life
To savor the delicious flavors and breathe in its sweet scents
Would just satisfy my ever lonely, empty soul

Oh! If I could only escape from reality
And into a fantasy
A fantasy where I will Find Myself, my love, and my Ever After..
