words of wisdom

"the worst stab wound is the one to the heart... sure most people survive it but the heart is never quite the same... there's always a scar to remind you that even for a little while someone made your heart beat faster... and that's a scar you can live with, proudly, all the days of your life" [oz]

"unrequited love... it's fantastic, coz it never has to change, it never has to grow up and it never has to die!" [queer as folk]

"no, you are not a gay... i am the gay... you're probably just a little bit poofy" [little britain]

"hey, you look lonely... i am lonely - look at all these couples... ahh, i don't care how old you are, it is tough being single at a wedding... right... you know, you can't help but think about all the chances that you missed or what it would have been like to have found 'that' person...... why are you so hard on yourself?... it is not easy finding the right person at the right time. i, was in love with a man i could never have... i didn't mean to be, i just was... you can't help who you love" [brothers & sisters]

"the world is filled with unlikely friendships... how do they begin? with one person desperately in need and another willing to lend a helping hand... when such kindness is offered we're finally able to see the worth of those we had previously written off... and before we know it, a bond has formed regardless of whether others can understand it... yes, unlikely friendships start up every day... no-one understands this... more than the lonely... in fact, it's what they count on" [desperate housewives]

"scotty, i want to be with you... me too, but sometimes just because you want something doesn't mean it's possible" [brothers & sisters]

"...baby can't you see you're the one for me.... but you belong to another... i don't wanna hurt nobody but my heart just can't hold back... it's the way you make me feel... spinning my world around... tell me, how can i walk away... i don't care what they say... i'm loving you anyway" [steps - it's the way you make me feel]

"how could someone so beautiful feel something for me? hold me and love me and touch me again... and show me why i believe" [brooke fraser - indelible]

"music has made my life worth living... music is all about loving and giving... now that i say goodbye to my friends i go singing to heaven" [alcazar - singing to heaven]

"wild horses i wanna be like you, throwing caution to the wind i'll run free too... wish i could recklessly love like i'm longing to.... i wanna run with the wild horses... recklessly abandoning myself before you... i wanna open up my heart and tell him how i feel" [natasha bedingfield - wild horses]

"doctor, doctor... blimey you can shout... am i ever going to see you again?... if i'm lucky... just promise me you'll find someone... i don't need anyone... yes you do, coz sometimes i think you need someone to stop you... nah, thanks then donna, good luck and just be - magnificent... i think i will, yeah... doctor... oh what is it now?... that friend of yours, what was her name?... her name was rose" [dr who - runaway bride]

"when you're with someone - whether for a night or for a lifetime - your responsibility is to honour the person you're holding in your arms, however briefly, and to make them feel glad they're there with you" [michael rowe/steven bereznai - gay and single... forever?]

"love, where is your fire? i've been sitting here smoking away... making signals with sticks and odd ends and bits but still there's no sign of a flame... imposters have been passing, offering a good-feeling glow... but i'm holding out for what you are about - an inferno that burns to the bone... some urge me to be temperate, lukewarm will never do... coz i, i wanna blaze with you... so i'm holding out my heart to you... holding my heart out... so i stand, handing out torches, speaking words that are lamps to their feet... 'til the time when you come and i'm whole and we are one and the fire in me is complete... some tell me to be moderate but lukewarm will never do... coz i, i know i'll blaze with you... so i'm holding my heart out to you... but a doubt comes to lie at the back of my mind, that i'll offer you me and you'll politely decline (no thank you)... so i hasten to mute it, i'll shout and rebuke it, 'away!'... coz i, i know i'll blaze with you...
