Friendship

'In other circumstances, this would have been the start of a romance. But I think we both knew, even then, that what we had was something more rare, and even more meaningful. I was going to be his friend, and was going to show him possibilities. And he, in turn, would become someone who I could trust more than myself.'

-Paul (Boy Meets Boy, David Levithan)

Boy Meets Boy

“I know you won’t understand this but they love me. It would be much easier if they didn’t. But in their own way, they love me. They honestly believe that if I don’t straighten out, I will lose my soul. It’s not just that they don’t want me kissing other guys – they think if I do it, I will be damned. Damned, Paul. And I know that doesn’t mean anything to you. It really doesn’t mean anything to me. To them, though, it’s everything.”

-Tony (Boy Meets Boy, David Levithan)

Edmund Blackadder:“Pointless…”

Trust The Doctor

"Amy, you need to start trusting me. It’s never been more important."

"But you don’t always tell me the truth."

"If I always told you the truth, I wouldn’t need you to trust me."


-The Doctor and Amy Pond, Dr. Who

Drummer Hodge

They throw in Drummer Hodge, to rest
Uncoffined — just as found:
His landmark is a kopje-crest
That breaks the veldt around:
And foreign constellations west
Each night above his mound.

Young Hodge the drummer never knew —
Fresh from his Wessex home —
The meaning of the broad Karoo,
The Bush, the dusty loam,
And why uprose to nightly view
Strange stars amid the gloam.

Yet portion of that unknown plain
Will Hodge for ever be;
His homely Northern breast and brain
Grow to some Southern tree,
And strange-eyed constellations reign
His stars eternally.




-Drummer Hodge, Thomas Hardy

Defiance

'Some bloke got put in prison for three days because he refused to stop kissing his boyfriend on a plane flight to Hong Kong, how magic's that? You can't but help picturing him entirely in latex,

"Alright lads, I'm gunna make this flight fairly tense for you, Ramon, let's do the bad thing!" *mwah mwah*

"DO YOU WANNA STOP DOING THAT MATE, I'LL FETCH THE STEWARDESS!"

"Whatever." -mwah- -mwah-

'STOP DOIN' THAT IT'S NOT NATURAL!'

'You're flying.' *mwah mwah mwah*

'I'LL HAVE YOU PUT IN PRISON!'

"What with men? Think it through." -mwah- -mwah-'

-Live at the Apollo, Russell Howard

Just Plain Luna

Severus swam with mermaids and ran with unicorns. He played games with Blinky and rode green and blue-checkered horses.

And there was Luna, who was maddening and enchanting. Beautiful and frightening. Implausible. Irrational. Preposterous. Peculiar. Insane and yet, the most sensible person he had ever met. Severus had not kissed her again after that one time, but he thought of it everyday.

Paradise Lost

'Did i ask thee maker from my clay
To mould Me man? Did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?'
