CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON [2000]





A faithful heart makes wishes come true. 
[Lo]


A sword by itself rules nothing. It only comes alive in skilled hands. 
[Sir Te]

They take it, they return it, they take it again... 
this place is becoming everyone's private storeroom!
[Sir Te,commenting on the theft of the Green Destiny sword once again]

When in comes to the affairs of the heart, 
even the greatest warriors can be a consummate idiots.
[Sir Te]






Even if I was banished to the darkest place, my love will never let me be a lonely spirit.
[Li Mu Bai]


No growth without assistance. 
No action without reaction. 
No desire without restraint. 
Now give yourself up and find yourself again. 
[Li Mu Bai]

The things we touch have no permanence. 
My master would say: there is nothing we can hold onto in this world. 
Only by letting go can we truly possess what is real.
[Li Mu Bai]

Like most things, I am nothing. 
[Li Mu Bai]


Your master underestimated women! 
I was good enough to sleep with, but not to teach. 
What better punishment than to die by a woman's hand? 
[Jade Fox]





[Jen Yu]: It must exciting to be a fighter, to be totally free.
[Yu Shu Lien]: Fighters have rules, too. 
Friendship, trust, integrity. Always keep your promise. 
Without rules we wouldn't survive long. 



[Yu Shu Lien]: It's a great fortune to marry into such a noble family.
[Jen Yu]: Is it? 
Actually, I like the great heroes in the books... just like you and Li Mu Bai. 
Marriage is a good thing. 
If only I could be free to live my own life... to choose who I love and love him in my own way. 
That's real happiness.

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY [1995]

Lose Your Heart and Come to Your Senses







Is love a fancy or a feeling...
[Marianne]


[Marianne]: Is there any felicity in the world superior to this?
[Margaret]: I told you it would rain.
[Marianne]: There is some blue sky, let us chase it!




What do you know of my heart? 
What do you know of anything but your own suffering. 
For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. 
It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hope. 
I have endured her exultations again and again whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever. 
Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you. 
[Elinor Dashwood]
