Share this quote on facebook I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career.

You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

Share this quote on facebook Maybe I didn't really know you. Maybe you were just a mirage. Maybe the world is full of food and sex and spectacle and we're all just hurling towards an apocalypse, in which case it's not your fault. I'm been thinking about all these things and... you're probably standing there monitoring. And one more thing - about the letter. Nuke it. Flame it. Destroy it. - It hurts me to know it's out there. Later.

Share this quote on facebook Diane Court: I have this theory of convergence, that good things always happen with bad things. I know you have to deal with them at the same time, but I just don't know why they have to happen at the same time. I just wish I could work out some schedule. Am I just babbling? Do you know what I mean?
Lloyd Dobler: No.

Diane Court: No, we don't have to say it.
Lloyd Dobler: How do you know what I'm going to say?
Diane Court: I don't know what you're going to say, but I think that...

Diane Court: No, no.
Lloyd Dobler: It sounded like you did.
Diane Court: No. We decided that we're friends. I mean, I know it's a terrible word...
Lloyd Dobler: Well, if we're friends, why can't we see each other?
Diane Court: I think that we should stop going out on dates.

Diane Court: No, I don't, I don't.
Lloyd Dobler: Yeah you do.
