I tend to find wisdom in some wonderfully weird places…sometimes in fortune cookies too. Everyone has their guilty pleasures. Mine are sitcoms. To think of it, they aren’t exactly ‘guilty’. They make me believe in the simplicity of life when convoluted profound theories threaten to steal small joys. I feel like I share a string kinship with some of the kooky and clumsy characters. Some back-to-back viewing and a bad day isn’t that awful any more.
“You may think your only choices are to swallow your anger or throw it in someone’s face. There’s a third option: you can just let it go.” ( Ted, How I met your mother)
“Maybe we don’t need the universe to tell us what we really want. Maybe we already know that, deep down.” ( Ted, How I met your mother)
OK, yes it’s a mistake. I know it’s a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it’s a mistake but you don’t really know it’s a mistake because the only way to really know it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say ‘yep, that was a mistake.’ So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you’d go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not. And dammit, I’ve made no mistakes! I’ve done all of this; my life, my relationship, my career, mistake-free. Does any of this make sense to you? – Lily
Here’s the thing about mistakes. Sometimes, even when you know something’s a mistake, you gotta make it anyway. – Ted
There’s no way of knowing for sure where the safest place is, so the best you can hope for is to have some good company. – Ted
Think of me like Yoda, but instead of being little and green I wear suits and I’m awesome. I’m your bro-I’m Broda! – Barney
Jesus waited three days to come back to life. It was perfect! If he had only waited one day, a lot of people wouldn’t have even heard he died. They’d be all, “Hey Jesus, what up?” and Jesus would probably be like, “What up? I died yesterday!” and they’d be all, “Uh, you look pretty alive to me, dude…” and then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it was a miracle, and the dude’d be like “Uhh okay, whatever you say, bro…” And he’s not gonna come back on a Saturday. Everybody’s busy, doing chores, workin’ the loom, trimmin’ the beard, NO. He waited the perfect number of days, three. Plus it’s Sunday, so everyone’s in church already, and they’re all in there like “Oh no, Jesus is dead”, and then BAM! He bursts in the back door, runnin’ up the aisle, everyone’s totally psyched, and FYI, that’s when he invented the high five. That’s why we wait three days to call a woman, because that’s how long Jesus wants us to wait…. True story.” – Barney
“Suits are full of joy. They’re the sartorial equivalent of a baby’s smile.” – Barney
Sheldon: I am aware of the way humans usually reproduce which is messy, unsanitary and based on living next to you for three years, involves loud and unnecessary appeals to a deity.
Penny: Oh, God.
Sheldon: Yes, exactly. (Big Bang Theory)
Greg Montgomery: Well, I wouldn’t want our marriage to get in the way of your dating. (Dharma and Greg)
I will never understand why they cook on TV. I can’t smell it. Can’t eat it. Can’t taste it. The end of the show they hold it up to the camera, “Well, here it is. You can’t have any. Thanks for watching. Goodbye.” (Seinfeld)
“Every cell in the human body regenerates on average every seven years. Like snakes, in our own way, we shed our skin. Biologically we are brand new people. We may look the same, we probably do, the change isn’t visible at least in most of us, but we are completely changed forever.”
-Meredith Grey
Sheldon: You know, in difficult times like this, I often turn to a force stronger than myself.
Amy: Religion?
Sheldon: Star Trek. (Big Bang Theory)
Nick: ‘Downstairs neighbour put a password on their wi-fi.’ (New Girl)
