Stupid Quotes

So, I've had a lot more thought put into what I DON'T want in a relationship rather than what I do. There's something telling about me there, but I don't feel like dealing with that right now. Anyway, I got to thinking about the stupid song lyrics and movie quotes about the nature of love and relationships and the dynamics thereof. Here are a few that I'll never say to anyone. If I do, I'm clearly not in my right mind and need to be sedated and moved to a sanitarium.


First up, is a line from a song by Pink. Song title is 'Please Don't Leave Me', and the lyric is 'Please don't leave me.' If I'm fighting with you and we've been in a relationship of any sort that has just torn us both to shreds, I'm not going to beg you to stay. You want to leave? Fine. Maybe we can finally get past whatever this farce is and move on to become grownups.

Second, a line from the movie Hannibal with Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore. It's at a tense part of the movie, close to the ending of the climax.

Lecter: Tell me, Clarice, would you ever say to me, "Stop. If you loved me, you'd stop."
Starling: *pinned to a refrigerator, looks him square in the eyes* Never.
Lecter: *leans in, mouth open like he's going to bite her, then stops at the last moment and grins* That's my girl.

I'm with Starling here. Emotional blackmail never works on the people you need it to. Besides, if you're having a lovers' quarrel, that line probably won't get you anywhere. They did it because they wanted to. Love has nothing to do with it.

Marilyn Manson's song, "If I Was Your Vampire"
Lyric: I love you so much you should kill me now.

Granted, I probably shouldn't be looking for romantic inspiration in anything from Manson, but hey. I like the music, and the lyrics are clever most of the time. But I digress. Love isn't something that should make you want to die. Losing it shouldn't make you want to either, but it's not like I'm talking from experience here. "I love you so much, you should kill me now." Yeah. You should kill me and then the super awesome lovey feeling I've got going on can just flicker out like a firefly's ass. Yeah. That totally works. *super sarcastic eye roll* Love should make you want to live, not to die.

Alright... That's totally not all of them, but it's enough to get a decent rant going.  As always, I appreciate your interest and would love to hear feedback. Yadda yadda yadda.
