More From Elvis Presley

Nay, but jack, such eyes! such eyes! so innocently wild! so bashfully irresolute! not a glance but speaks and kindles some thought of love! then, jack, her cheeks! her cheeks, jack! so deeply blushing at the insinuations of her tell-tale eyes! then, jack, her lips! o, jack, lips smiling at their own discretion! and, if not smiling, more sweetly pouting - more lovely in sullenness! then, jack, her neck! o, jack, jack!

Encore' was an experiment. 'encore' was the second chance at a first impression. 'encore' was not completely planned.

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

You only pass through this life once, you don't come back for an encore.

I think it was alfred hitchcock who said 90 percent of successful moviemaking is in the casting. the same is true in life. who you are exposed to, who you choose to surround yourself with, is a unique variable in all of our experiences and it is hugely important in making us who we are. seek out interesting characters, tough adversaries and strong mentors and your life can be rich, textured, highly entertaining and successful, like a best picture winner. surround yourself with dullards, people of vanilla safety and unextraordinary ease, and you may find your life going straight to dvd.

The good times and the bad times both will pass. it will pass. it will get easier. but the fact that it will get easier does not mean that it doesn’t hurt now. and when people try to minimize your pain they are doing you a disservice. and when you try to minimize your own pain you’re doing yourself a disservice. don’t do that. the truth is that it hurts because it’s real. it hurts because it mattered. and that’s an important thing to acknowledge to yourself. but that doesn’t mean that it won’t end, that it won’t get better. because it will.

Similar Quotes

A broken heart in real life isn't half as dreadful as it is in books. it's a good deal like a bad tooth, though you won't think that a very romantic simile. it takes spells of aching and gives you a sleepless night now and then, but between times it lets you enjoy life and dreams and echoes and peanut candy as if there were nothing the matter with it.

So cry if you need to but i can't stay to watch you it's the wrong thing to do

Have you ever been in love? horrible isn't it? it makes you so vulnerable. it opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. it will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. to love is to be vulnerable.
