6 Quotes From 'The Princess Bride' That Depict What Life And Love Are Really About

In This Article:

It's easy to look around at everyone in love except you, but 'The Princess Bride' provides hope. If you don't already have the movie memorized (which you totally should), here are several quotes that will keep you looking for your one true love.

1. "Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something."

Oh, don't we know it. But hey, I might want what they're selling if it takes away from the fact - c'est la vie.

2. "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while."

Probably one of my favorite quotes from the movie. I see this as going beyond romantic love. Hopefully, all death can do is delay me from seeing my loved ones for a while.

3. "Get used to disappointment."

Giphy

The way this line is said in the movie is ICONIC. Spoken so bluntly and matter-of-factly; gives me chills every time. One does, indeed, have to learn to cope with disappointment in life- thanks for reminding me.

4. "This is true love — you think this happens everyday?"

I can vouch, it most certainly does not happen everyday. If it did, there would be many less lonesome souls going through life single. If you're booed up-kudos, my friend.

5. "Who says life is fair? Where is that written? Life isn't always fair."

"Always" is the key word in this quote. Just because life isn't fair, doesn't mean it can't be. I think this is super important to remember when we're feeling defeated.

6. "Love is many things none of them logical."

Giphy

Ah, yes. People really do crazy things when they are in love. Love is definitely addicting like a drug, it can also be just as damaging. Make sure to keep your head on straight.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
