The Great Gatsby

“They’re a rotten crowd’, I shouted across the lawn. ‘You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.” 

" كانت ابتسامته واحدة من تلك الابتسامات التي تحمل إليك طمأنينة دائمة، والتي لا تلتقي بها في حياتك إلا أربع أو خمس مرات، كانت ابتسامة تواجه العالم الخارجي لحظة - أو تبدو كأنها تواجهه - ثم تتركز عليك أنت، فتتحيز لك دون تحرج، كانت تفهمك تماماً كما تحب أن تُفهم، وتؤمن بك تماماً كما تحب أن تؤمن بنفسك، وتؤكد لك أنها تحمل عنك الصورة التي تحب أن تضيفها على من حولك "

غاتسبي العظيم

“وهكذا نواصل التجديف ومراكبنا تبحر عكس التيار لنُحمل دون توقف إلى الماضي”

Sabrina: They say you're the world's only living heart donor.

 ............................

Linus Larrabee: So, that really is a beautiful name. How did you get it?
Sabrina: My father's reading. It's in a poem.
Linus Larrabee: Oh?
Sabrina: "Sabrina fair, listen where thou art sitting under the glassy, cool, translucent wave, in twisted braids of lilies knitting the loose train of thy amber-dropping hair."
Sabrina: [laughs to herself] It's an incredible airplane - it's beautiful. I've never seen anything like it.
Linus Larrabee: Ah, yes.
[returns to reading his work papers]
Sabrina: Don't you ever look out the window?
Linus Larrabee: When do I have time?
Sabrina: What happened to all that time we saved taking the helicopter?
Linus Larrabee: [lightheartedly] I'm storing it up.
Sabrina: [seriously] No, you're not.
Linus Larrabee: [pause] So, your little poem - what does it mean?
Sabrina: It's the story of a water sprite who saved a virgin from a fate worse than death.
Linus Larrabee: And Sabrina's the virgin.
Sabrina: [quietly] Sabrina's the savior.

I have to keep breathing... For tomorrow the Sun will rise. who knows what the tide would bring?

"Kelly had to let me go
....
....
I knew I had lost her then (4 yrs back) because I was never going to get off that Island.
I was going to die there. Totally alone.
I was sick, scared, injured.
The only choice I had - the only thing I CONTROLLED - was when, and how, and where it was going to happen...
So...
I made a rope... and went up to the summit (a cliff, with a single tree at it's very edge) to hang myself.
I had to test it you know...of course, you know me...
(He tests it by tying a heavy log to the rope and letting it hang by the tree)
AND THE WEIGHT... OF THE LOG... SNAPPED... THE LIMB OF THE TREE....
So I-I--I couldn't even kill my self the way I wanted to. I.. HAD.. POWER.. OVER.. NOTHING.
....
....
....
That's when this feeling came over me - like a warm blanket.
I knew, somehow, I had to stay alive. Somehow... I had to keep breathing... Even though there was no reason to hope...
And all my logic said that I would never see this place (his home) again.
So thats what I did... I stayed alive. I kept breathing...
And one day that logic was proved all wrong, because the tide came in and gave me a sail.
And now here I am. Back in Memphis. Talking to you. I have ice in my Glass...!!! (looks at the Ice in his glass with wonder)

And I have lost her all over again...

I am so sad that I dont have Kelly. but I am so grateful that she was not with me on that island.

And I know what I have to do now... I have to keep breathing...
Because TOMORROW THE SUN WILL RISE...Who knows what the Tide could bring..."

Heaven Have Mercy ( Gerard-French ) 1956
Album: The Rare Piaf (1950-1962) Released by Edith Piaf in the year 1998.


No more smiles, no more tears
No more prayers, no more fears
Nothing left, why go on
When your lover is gone
Shout with one
Ring the bells
Throughout the towns
And the farms
Will the shouts and the bells
Bring him back to my arms
Must each man go to war
Evermore, evermore
While some lone woman stands
Empty heart, empty hands
When the time came to part
And he kissed me goodbye
From the depths of my heart
Came a great lonely cry:

Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!

Miners came
They carved his name
Upon a cross...
I remember the dance
Where we first fell in love
How we whirled 'round and 'round
While the stars danced above
We would walk by the shore
Watch the ships sail away
Lovers need nothing more
Just a new dream each day
So we dreamed of a home
With a garden so fine
And a son with his eyes
And a nose just like mine
Now it's done, why be brave?
Why should I live like this?
Shall I wait by the grave
For my lost lover's kiss?

Stop the bell! Stop the bell!!
I've no tears left to cry
Must I stay here in hell?
Lord above, let me die...

Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!

Phantom of the Opera --- Think of Me

Lyrics:

CHRISTINE:
Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

RAOUL:
Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were...
She may not remember me,
but I remember her...

CHRISTINE
Flowers fades,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have their seasons, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think (aahhs)of me!
