Movie/TV 1 – From Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your root was so entwined together that is it inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.
Movie/TV 2 – Extract from Les Miserables
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again. And great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. Loved in spite of ourselves.
Movie/TV 3 – Speech made using Disney and Pixar references
Lovely Day, isn’t it? He has a good soul. And he’s handsome, too! We’ll always be the best of friends. If you start crying, I’m gonna cry, and I’ll never get through this. I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without you. Some people care too much, I think it’s called love.
Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. Hakuna Matata…it means no worries for the rest of your days. Run the hidden pine trails of the forest, taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth, roll in all the riches all around you. Paint with all the colours of the wind. Love is a song that never ends.
You have a very important thing to do today. She is the one. The girl we have been waiting for. You and I better have a little heart-to-heart…sit down, son. Always let your conscience be your guide. Givin’ up is for rookies.
You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. You are my son…no matter how big you get, you’ll always be my son. Anytime you need me, just whistle.”
Movie/TV 4 – The Fault in Our Stars
“I am in love with you. And I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed, and that one day all of our labours will be returned to dust. And I know that the sun will swallow the only Earth we will ever have. And I am in love with you.”
Movie/TV 5 – The Notebook
“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.”
Movie/TV 6 – Meet Joe Black
“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. I say, fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who will love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head, and you listen to your heart…Cause the truth is, honey, there’s no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven’t lived a life at all. But you have to try, cause if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.”
Movie/TV 7 – When Harry met Sally
“I love that you get cold when it’s seventy-one degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour-and-a-half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
Movie/TV 8 – The Vow
“I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they are not, to agree to disagree about red velvet cake, to live within the warmth of your heart, and always call it home.”
Movie/TV 9 – In her Shoes
I carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart, I carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
Movie/TV 10 – One Tree Hill
Remember today, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. A belief in each other and the possibility of love.
A decision to ignore, simply rise above the pain of the past. A covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. A celebration of the chance taken and the challenge that lies ahead. For two will always be stronger than one, like a team braced against the tempest civil world. And love will always be the guiding force in our lives.
For today is mere formality. Only an announcement to the world of feelings long held. Promises made long ago. In the sacred spaces of our hearts.
Movie/TV 11 – Star Wars
In other words
In a galaxy not that far away they found each other….
You are the scoundrel to my princess
You are the clone to my trooper
You are the bounty to my hunter
You are the rogue to my squadron
You are the jedi to my temple
You are the chosen one to my queen
You are the C-3PO to my R2-D2
And you are the light to my saber
