Clementine: You don't tell me things, Joel. I'm an open book. I tell you everything, every damn, embarrassing thing.
Mary: Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders. [they click glasses] Mary: Nietzsche. Beyond Good and Evil. Found it in my Bartlett's.
Joel: [on tape recording] And the whole thing with the hair - it's all bullshit. Joel: I really like your hair. Clementine: Thank you.
Carrie: I saw you talking to someone pretty! Rob: Yeah, man, who was that? Joel: She was... just a girl.
Joel: Wait! Clementine: ...What?... What do you *want* Joel? Joel: I don't know! I want you wait for just a... a while.
Joel: He's seducing my girlfriend with MY words and MY things! He stole her underwear! Jesus Christ, he stole her underwear.
Joel: I love being bathed in the sink - such a feeling of security. Clementine: I've never seen you happier, baby Joel.
[Hammering noises in the background] Rob: Fuck! Carrie: Rob, give it a rest. Rob: Carrie, I am making a birdhouse.
Carrie: You're stoned and you're driving. Rob: Pot balances me out. Pot brings me up. That's I smoke it if I'm going to be drinking.
Howard: [overlapping speech] We'll dispose of these mementos when we're done here, that way you won't be confused by their unexplainable presence in your home.
Clementine: Look, I'm sorry if I came off a little nutso, I'm not really. Joel: That's okay, I really didn't think you were.
Karen Holmes: You certainly chose a lovely spot for our meeting. I've had three chances to be picked up in the last five minutes.
Karen Holmes: [to Sgt. Warden standing outside her porch in the pouring rain] Well, you'd better come inside... you'll get wet.
Sergeant Milton Warden: [to Sgt. James 'Fatso' Judson, holding a broken beer bottle neck] O.K. Fatso, if it's killin' ya want, come on.

Anyone who can do the splits and come back up on the backbeat, as James Brown and Prince can, has my eternal respect. Prince, who is a genius of the highest order, can come back up while singing and playing the guitar.
Relationships are eternal. The 'separation' is another chapter in the relationship. Often, letting go of the old form of the relationship becomes a lesson in pure love much deeper than any would have learned had the couple stayed together.
Only to the extent that men desire peace and brotherhood can the world be made better. No peace even though temporarily obtained, will be permanent, whether to individuals or nations, unless it is built upon the solid foundation of eternal principles...
