Alla dessa filmer och böcker om kärlek… Vissa läser eller ser vi om och om igen. Och de bästa bitarna sätter sig – ni vet de där ställena som böckerna öppnar sig själva till för de är så sönderlästa, och de där filmscenerna som vi ser, backar, ser om igen… De kan vi utantill.
Här är tjugo citat – just sådana älskade meningar från både böcker och filmer. Vilka känner du igen?
(rätta svaren finns längre ner på sidan)
1. No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows you.
2. In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.
3. Love means never having to say you’re sorry.
4. It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together…and I knew it.
5. My heart is, and always will be, yours.
6. Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable.
7. Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it.
8. Don’t forget I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
9. Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.
10. The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
11. Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me…it brought me to you…You must do me this honor, Rose. Promise me you’ll survive. That you won’t give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.
12. Here’s looking at you, kid.
13. You had me at hello.
14. I wish I knew how to quit you!
15. – There isn’t going to be any Baroness anymore.

– Oh, I’m sorry.
– Yes. You are?
– Mm-hmm. You did?
– Yes. Well, you can’t marry someone when you’re in love with someone else…can you?
16. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
17. It is better to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

Jag kände igen Notting Hill och Dirty Dancing direkt… ^^ Några av de andra var nya/har jag inte lagt på minnet/har jag hört trots att jag inte sett filmen/läst boken. (; (:
Det är en salig blandning. Jag hade inte klarat många själv om det inte var jag själv som samlat ihop dem. 🙂
Jag klarade inte så många, men det visase sig bero på att jag inte sett så många av filmerna. De filmer jag hade sett, kunde jag!
Jag kunde bara dem jag sett flera gånger (inte så många, alltså 🙂 )
Haha jag klarade natülish bara en och det var självfallet Dirty Dancing. Jag minns tyvärr sällan citat varken ur böcker eller filmer. Men Dirty Dancing har jag ju tragglat in under hela mitt liv. 😀
Så du kan nog återge alla repliker i Dirty Dancing??? typ ”I carried a watermelon”…?
Och klassikern: http://youtu.be/28A9Jgo92GQ 😀
Absolut 😀 😀
En del av de klassiska citaten kände jag igen, älskade ju så klart Love Story.
Jag har inte sett den, men tror att jag har hört filmmusiken många gånger.
Jag är chockerad över att jag knäckte hälften av citaten! Austen och Dirty dancing förstås men några andra också så jag är nog mer romantisk än jag trott 😉
Austen förväntade jag mig verkligen att du skulle kunna… 🙂
Men du är kanske både rätt romantisk – OCH har ett fantastiskt minne?
Så måste det vara, eller så sitter jag och memorerar repliker istället för att försjunka i romantikfluffet 😉
