Posted: 11/17/05 at 12:50am"As long as he needs me" from oliver. (maybe?)
"`I grow old... I grow old... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.` What does that mean, Mr. Marlowe?"
"Not a bloody thing. It just sounds good."
He smiled. "That is from the `Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.` Here's another one. `In the room women come and go/Talking of Michael Angelo.' Does that suggest anything to you, sir?"
"Yeah -- it suggests to me that the guy didn't know very much about women."
"My sentiments exactly, sir. Nonetheless I admire T. S. Eliot very much."
"Did you say, 'nonetheless'?"
- The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler

"You Walk With Me" from The Full Monty is also
somewhat appropriate.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

There is, in my book, only one song about protecting someone. Anytime (I am There) from William Finn's Elegies. It is just so perfect.
"Anytime you laugh,
Anytime you cry.
Anytime, you hear a sound.
When your on the grass,
Lying on the ground.
Anytime you wash your hands I'll be around.
Im out there on the baseball field,
Though I'm well concealed,
I'll be out there cheering.
I am there in the books you read,
It is guarenteed...
I'm not dissapearing fast."
"The only way we live beyond our lives is to connect and carve ourselves into the souls of those we love." -Little Fish
