Favorite Quotes:

♫To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
This is my quest, to follow that star ...
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...
To fight for the right, without question or pause ...
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...
And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest ...
And the world will be better for this:
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach ... the unreachable star ...♪
                      - The Impossible Dream from 'Man of La Mancha'

♫......Peopl​e stop and stare. They don't bother me.
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.♪
                            - On the Street Where You Live from 'My Fair Lady'

"If you cannot say what you MEAN, Your Majesty, you will never mean what you say. And a gentleman should always mean what he says. (.....) I would LIKE to be a gentleman. I try to be."  - Peter O'Toole in 'The Last Emperor'

"...I remembered that my father was an emperor of China and my mother was an Indian queen, and I went out and claimed my inheritance.​ It all turned out just as you once suspected, Cathy: that I had been kidnapped by wicked sailors and brought to England; that I was of noble birth."​
                                        - Sir Laurence Olivier in 'Wuthering Heights(1939​)'

"Marry me. Marry me, my wonderful, darling friend."​
                                      - Jeremy Northam in 'Emma(1996)'​

"That looks elegant & fantastic!"​
                                      - André Kim

Dundalk is a town.. I'm from there, but I'm living in Dublin now because of University (I'm in Trinity College studying German and Sociology). I'm a Junior Freshman too :D

My hometown is just.. small enough I suppose. It's on the East Coast,about an hour from Dublin City. It's quite nice there, there's mountains to the North of it (Although they're pretty small mountains)! How're you?

this funny story (from 'The ten worst presentation​ moments') teaches you more about the sensitivitie​s in Belgium:
"I was due to present to the Belgian management team of an internationa​l IT company. Not wishing to be the typical Brit presenting in English, I carefully prepared and turned up with a French presentation​ and proceeded to present 45 minutes in French. (I meant it as a surprise so hadn’t warned anyone.)

We broke halfway through my presentation​ for coffee and the country manager asked me if I would switch to English. “Is my French that bad?” I said. “No," he replied, "it’s just that we are all from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium and we are not clear whether you are trying hard or just insulting us.” "
