What a fine grey winter Sunday in Berlin! It just started snowing

Yesterday a friend of mine came over and we watched American Beauty...gotta love that movie!
So while watching I wrote down some of my favourite quotes from it...and now I just have to tell you guys...sorry if some of them sound kinda outta context...but just bare with me here ok? Here we go: (in ramdon order)

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life!"

"Its a great thing when you realize that youve still got the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do, that youve forgotten about."

Hehe, and this scene is just hilarious :

"Lester, youre gonna spill beer on the couch!"
>"So what? its just a couch."
"This is a 4,000 $ sofa, upholstered in Italian silk..this is not just a couch!"
>"IT`S JUST A COUCH! This isnt life! Its just stuff, and its become more important to you than living...
well, honey, thats just nuts."

"Never underestimate the power of denial." powerfull!

And the grand finale:

"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me...but its hard to stay mad, when theres so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like Im seeing it all at once and my heart fills up like a baloon about to burst. But then I remember to relax and stop trying to hold on to everything...and then it just flows thruogh me like rain and I cant feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life!
You have no idea what Im talking about, Im sure. But dont worry, you will someday."
