Changing Lives

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

“So now, here we are, leaving the place we’ve come to know as home to go back to the place that once was home. It’s a wierd paradox really. We cried our first night here from the realization that our lives would never be the same again, and now we cry because we never want it to be.” – Michelle Masselink

The X-Files – Episode 3×11 Revelations

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

SCULLY: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been six years
since my last confession, and since then I’ve drifted away from the
church. I’m not sure why exactly.

PRIEST: Have you come to confess?

SCULLY: No, um, there’s a man that I work with – a friend – and
usually I’m able to discuss these things with him … but not this.
Father, do you believe in miracles?

PRIEST: Of course, I see them every day … the rising sun,
the birth of a child …

SCULLY: No, I’m talking about events that defy explanation. Things
that … I believe helped me to save a young boy’s life. But now I
wonder if I saw them at all. If I didn’t just imagine them.

PRIEST: Why do you doubt yourself?

SCULLY: Because my partner didn’t see them. He didn’t … he didn’t
believe them. And usually he … he believes without question.

PRIEST: Maybe they weren’t meant for him to see.
Maybe they were only meant for you.

SCULLY: Is that possible?

PRIEST: With the Lord, anything is possible. Perhaps you saw
these things because you needed to.

SCULLY: To find my way back?

PRIEST: Sometimes we must come full circle to find the truth.
(Scully looks up at the priest) Why does that surprise you?

SCULLY: Mostly, it just makes me afraid.

PRIEST: Afraid?

SCULLY: Afraid that God is speaking … but that no one’s listening.

Happiness

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

As we grow up we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too so (remember) how it felt when yours was broken. You’l fight with your best friend. you’ll blame a new love for something an old one did you’ll cry because time is going by too fast and you’ll eventually lose someone you love, so take too many pictures laugh too much and love like you’ve never been hurt because every 60 seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Erin had this in her journal. I thought it was cool.

Another Scrubs Moment

 Scrubs 206 My Big Brother

Dr. Cox walks through. He passes Turk, who is waiting for an elevator.

Dr. Cox: [whistles] Let’s go, field trip.

Turk: I got things to do, you know.

Still, he follows Dr. Cox.

Dr. Cox: Let me guess, you’re off to another funeral. I’ll make you a deal — you come with me right now, and if you’re still late for the graveyard, I will personally scour the obituaries with you this weekend and you can just go nuts!

Turk: Carla put you up to this?

Dr. Cox: No, it was my idea. I desperately want to be close with you, I just can’t figure out how to connect. Turn around.

Turk gives him a look.

Dr. Cox: [firm] Turn around.

Turk does turn around, and the two look into the observation window of a patient in the I.C.U.

The family is gathered around the bed as Dr. Wen speaks to them.

Dr. Cox: You see Dr. Wen in there? He’s explaining to that family that something went wrong and that the patient died. He’s gonna tell them what happened, he’s gonna say he’s sorry, and then he’s going back to work. You think anybody else in that room is going back to work today?

That is why we distance ourselves, that’s why we make jokes. We don’t do it because it’s fun — we do it so we can get by…and sometimes because it’s fun. But mostly it’s the getting by thing.

Classic Scrubs

Monday, April 11th, 2005

J.D. and Dr. Cox are there. Elliot rushes up to them.
Elliot: Dr. Cox! I’m so glad I caught you! I need—
Dr. Cox: And there it is again — that ringing in my ears. It’s kind of an “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” but it’s more piercing, more of an “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”—
J.D.: She’s trying to ask you a question.
Dr. Cox: Now you, you’re more of a low-pitched “Ooga-ooga-ooga.” It’s more masculine, which, quite frankly, is surprising considering the source, but make no mistake — oh, just equally annoying! Luckily, though, I know how to make the pain go away!
He walks away from them.
Dr. Cox: [from down the hall] Ahhhh. Much better.
Elliot: Can you believe that!? I mean, every time we even try to talk to him, he starts going off on one of these random tangents and….
She continues to spew, but is drowned out by….
J.D.’s Thoughts: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Elliot: –You know?

On Birth Control .. Part 2

Sunday, April 3rd, 2005

“The way to plan the family is Natural Family Planning, not contraception. In destroying the power of giving life, through contraception, a husband or wife is doing something to self. This turns the attention to self and so destroys the gift of love in him or her. In loving, the husband and wife must turn the attention to each other. Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows very easily.”
- Mother Teresa (in front of Bill and Hillary Clinton) (more…)

G.K. Chesterton on Truth

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

He has come too near to the truth, and has forgotten that truth is a magnet, with the powers of attraction and repulsion. . . It is impossible to be just to the Catholic Church. The moment men cease to pull against it they feel a tug towards it. The moment they cease to shout it down they begin to listen to it with pleasure. The moment they try to be fair to it they begin to be fond of it. But when that affection has passed a certain point it begins to take on the tragic and menacing grandeur of a great love affair. The man has exactly the same sense of having committed or compromised himself; of having been in a sense entrapped, even if he is glad to be entrapped.
-G.K. Chesterton

False Hatred

Tuesday, February 15th, 2005

“There are not 100 people who hate the Catholic Church; But there are millions who hate what they believe the Catholic Church to be.”
-Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Great Quotes from The Village

Tuesday, January 11th, 2005

Ivy Walker: Sometimes we do not do things we want to do so that others do not know we want to do them.

Ivy Walker: When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?
Lucius Hunt: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.
