“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?

it answered
everywhere"

"...it turns out that there are few things more chaotic than the beat of a human heart. its speeding up, slowing down. pretty face, flight of stairs. it's always changing depending on what's happening out there. it's an erratic son of {jay-walker}. but underneath all of that bump-da-bump mess, there is, in fact, a pattern - the truth. and it's love. the most important thing about love is that we choose to give it, and we choose to receive it - making it the least random act in the entire universe. it transcends blood; it transcends betrayal, and all the dirt that makes us human. if you can figure that out, the jake lees of the world have got nothing on you." - frank allen | chaos theory

"Helen, if I'm away from you for more than an hour, I can't stop thinking about you. I carry you in my spirit. I pray for you more than I pray for myself. I've got it so bad for you I'd... I'd go to the grocery store and buy your feminine products, I swear I would." - Orlando

Ivy Walker: When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?

Lucius Hunt: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you, you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.

~The Village

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

I love this movie I love this movie. Funny as hell, but also good for the soul. A few of my favourite lines:

"WIRE HANGERS!!!!!!!!!" - Madea

"I'm not bitter! I'm mad as hell!" - Helen

"... the strength God gave women to survive. You just haven't tapped into it yet." - Myrtie Jean

"... I'm finding myself smiling and laughing. I'm finding myself... wait, that's it. I'm finding myself." - Helen

"Why you being so mean, woman?" "Why you being so NICE, man?" - Orlando and Helen

"The key is to be tough, not hard." - Orlando

"Love is stronger than any addiction. Hell, it is one." - Madea

"I do know I can love you past your pain." - Orlando

"Just wake up in the morning. That's all you have to do. And I'll take it from there..." - Orlando

"I'm going to let you sit here for a few days and think about what I said." Helen to paralyzed Charles in his wheelchair

"When somebody hurt you they take power over you. You don't forgive them, they keep that power." Myrtie Jean

"You think you over something? You thing you're ready to get on with your life? This is how you really find out if you're over someone: If you get the opportunity to get even with someone and you don't take it, then you're over it. But if you don't. And you beat the hell outta him, you ain't over it yet." - Madea

"God has the power to show you who's God." - Charles

"No matter what you're going through. Take it to the Master, and he'll see you right on through." - Choir

"Gentle as doves, but wise as serpents." - Tyler Perry

"Sometimes we hold on to the things that God himself is trying to tear apart." - Tyler Perry

"Helen, if I'm away from you for more than an hour, I can't stop thinking about you. I carry you in my spirit. I pray for you more than I pray for myself. I've got it so bad for you I'd... I'd go to the grocery store and buy your feminine products, I swear I would." - Orlando

"I know you don't believe in fairy tales. But, if you did, I'd want to be your knight in shining armor. You've been through so much. I don't want to see you hurt anymore. Now I may not be able to give you all that your used to. But I do know I can love you past your pain. I don't want you to worry about anything. You just wake up in the morning, that's all you have to do and I'll take it from there. There's one condition. You have to be my wife." Orlando to Helen
