Veronica: This may seem like a really stupid question...
J.D. : There *are* no stupid questions.
Veronica: You inherit five million dollars the same day aliens land on the earth and say they're going to blow it up in two days. What do you do?
J.D. : That's the stupidest question I've ever heard.

The fist clenched round my heart loosens a little, and I gasp brightness; but it tightens again. When have I ever not loved the pain of love? But this has moved past love to mania. This has the strong clench of the madman, this is gripping the ledge of unreason before plunging howling into the abyss. Hold hard then, heart. This way at least you live. [Derek Walcott]

Casa dei miei custodisce questa sacra reliquia. Ho passato il Natale del 1984 a consumarne il lato B, quello con gli auguri, ammaliata dalle voci di Paul Weller e di David Bowie. (E temo di ricordare ancora ogni singolo saluto a memoria…)

Natale! Natale! Natale! Allora è arrivato Natale, Natale la festa di tutti, si scorda chi è stato cattivo, si baciano i belli ed i brutti si mandan gli auguri agli amici, scopriamo che c’è il panettone bottiglie di vino moscato e c’è il premio di produzione. (Astro del ciel, pargol divin, mite agnello re…) Natale! Natale! Natale! C’è l’angolo per il presepio e...

When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Harry: Right now everything is great, everyone is happy, everyone is in love, but you got to know, that sooner or later, you're going to be screaming at other about who's going to get this dish. This eight dollar dish will cost you a thousand dollars in phone calls to the legal firm of that's-mine-this-is-yours.
Sally: Harry...
Harry: Please, Jess, Marie, do me a favour for your own good, put your name in your books right now, before they get mixed up and you don't know who's is who's. Because one day, believe it or not, you'll go fifteen rounds over who's going to get this coffee table. This stupid, wagon wheel, Roy Rogers garage sale coffee table!
Jess: I thought you liked it.
Harry: I was being nice!
