“But...books are so much more. Some of them are webs; you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely, into strange and dark corners. Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self-contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch.
And some of them―the best ones―are doors.”
― Lauren Oliver, Pandemonium

..yeah, I have a Norton one and it doesn't normally let anything through, which is why I had to stream the series and couldn't download it because it didn't like the sites and streaming took a few attempts as well but it downloaded a movie player or something to play it and changed my homepage as well and now it's starting to lag...oh I did load the anti virus myself, I don't need anyone else to do it..hmmph...mind you, I'm not doing great though am I lol....

first person to use that Marilyn Monroe quote about "if you can't handle me at my worst" or w/e is getting a slap because I'm sick of bitches using that as an excuse to be a dickhead. literally every **** on facebook has it.
as for me~
"When the Jazz man testifies, the faithless man believes" - Carole King. Probably my favourite lyric.
also the quote from the Office finale <3
"Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain." Do you know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits."
I don't really have a favourite movie or book quote... although Twelfth Night's "if music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it" is a favourite.

“He call me throatzilla, I suck a dick so killer
Strawberry ice cream or vanilla
Chiller, your girl sick, but I'm iller

Hits on deck, no filler
Queen of the Huns, I'm Attila”
