"I thought our story was epic.."

Veronica: "Epic?"

Logan: "Spanning years and continents, lives ruined, blood shed, epic. But summer’s almost here, and we won’t see each other at all. You’ll leave town and…it’s over. I’m sorry about last summer. If I could do it over...

Veronica: C’mon. Ruined lives, blood shed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?

Logan: No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.

(Season Two, Episode 20, Alterna-prom Scene.)

Oh, Logan. How I hated you at first, but since then, I have come to love you as much as Veronica does.

"I just said made or broke it. I don't think you can use that phrase in the past tense." - nj

Grammar thought of the day:

Make or break.

In past tense, does it work?

Somehow, "made it or broke it" doesn't seem to have the right ring to it.

amen.

that's all I have to say about danielle's thoughts here.

all the single ladies

from The Night of the Iguana (1964):


Hannah: There are worse things than chastity, Mr. Shannon.

T. Lawrence Shannon: Yes - lunacy and death.

the quoteless book

When the Emperor Was Divine, by Julie Otsuka.

I can't pull anything out of it, because it would be taken out of context in a terrible way, and you just need to read the whole thing. For real.

It's starkly beautiful, which I know is cliche, but it's true. This novel was a beautiful, beautiful telling of a very difficult story that we seem reluctant to talk about - the Japanese internments during World War II.
