Hello, my name is Amber. I love Ingrid Michaelson and I don't like About Mes. They are...bleh. I don't like them. I do, however, love quotes...

"For every lover is, in his head, a madman and in his heart a minstrel."

" 'You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, seen centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... Made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves... I mean, you could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan, is... I think I love you. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange — no gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me, too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.' "
---Yvaine, "Stardust" (the film)

" 'Don't you understand anything that's going on?'
Buttercup shook her head.
Westley shook his too. 'You never have been the brightest, I guess.'
'Do you love me, Westley? Is that it?'
He couldn't believe it. 'Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches! If your love were -'
'I don't understand that first one yet,' Buttercup interrupted. She was starting to get very excited now. 'Let me get this straight. Are you saying my love is a grain of sand and yours is this other thing? Images confuse me so - is this universal business of yours bigger than my sand? Help me, Westley. I have the feeling we're on the verge of something just terribly important.'
---Buttercup and Westley, "The Princess Bride" (the novel)

" 'Fool!' cried the hunchback. 'You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.' '
He was quite cheery until the iocane powder took effect."
---Vizzini, "The Princess Bride" (the novel and the film, but mostly the novel)

" 'Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love, and you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords.' "
---Buttercup, "The Princess Bride" (novel and film)
