The simplest confession to love from a Priest to date must be “It’ll pass”. Whilst that at first read could be perceived to be somehow flippant or dismissive of the deepest of emotions it’s actually rather heart breaking. He’s given us a comfort in acknowledging that the most intense of feelings fade and yet that gives us equal ache in realizing that fear that we have of losing something precious to us. “I don’t want it to” is a great observation from Fleabag on this point too. Of course much of the brilliance of the writing is that it just is – it doesn’t try to be clever or seek todefine or spell out the points for us rather it just exposes all the tender, loopy, sometimes repulsive and often just cringeworthy aspects of love to us. I also loved the follow up point in this connection made by Fleabag a little later “I sometimes worry I wouldn’t be such a feminist if I had bigger tits”. This isn’t a quote about love per se but it’s another wonderful exposure in the writing of this series of how our self-doubt and the manner in which we allow our insecurity to affect us and how this shapes and forms our relationships with others too.

One line from Fleabag that has stuck with me is this: “Love is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 yards away with an arrow that’s passing through the arms of a loved one.” The humor and poignancy in this quote speaks so deeply to how painful yet beautiful love can be. This is also true for the metaphors in the show that strike unexpectedly yet perfectly. For example, in this season Claire comments: “You can’t have sex with everyone you fall in love with.” It’s a funny line and at the same time incredibly perceptive to how love and desire don’t always make for the perfect pair. Each of Fleabag’s quotes about love are like mini-explosions of deep truth that will continue to resonate long after the episode has ended.

Fleabag’s classic ‘I love you!’ ‘It’ll pass’ line is forever etched into our memories because it so accurately captures the moment of all-consuming love, followed inevitably by the passing of time. But above all, the show is wonderfully balanced between hilarious moments and moments of pure heartache – like this hairquote: ‘Hair is everything.’ Funny on the surface, yes, but also a wry commentary on how far we’d go for love. Every line is a punchline and a punch to the gut at the same time.

Fleabag is masterful at exposing love to its rawest form, and there’s a great quote from the Priest in this episode about how awful love is: ‘Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. Makes you selfish. Makes you creepy. Makes you obsessed with your hair. Makes you cruel. Makes you say and do things you never thought you would do… It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there.’

This quotes really shows the vulnerability of the show and how funny yet sad it is. The Fleabag character here is really showing her desperation for someone to tell her how to live her life because she feels she has got it so wrong so far. It is another great moment in the show and really highlights why Fleabag is such a powerful and thoughtful take on love.

What are the best quotes about kindness in literature?

Quoting kindness in niche quotes: Helen Oyeyemi’s ‘Gingerbread’ features this wonderful quote: ‘Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard.’ This is so relevant in our current tough and defensive world. Then there’s Murakami’s ‘Kafka on the Shore’, where it says: ‘And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through the storm. But you will barely remember the storm itself. I’ll never forget how many ways, wonders, and events have arrived at my house in the past few years. After not seeing my family for a while, I realized that the old me came back when I returned home. The memories, ideas, experiences, and moments remained vivid in my mind.’ Yet again, kindness in quotes. Survival of the collective kind is kindness too. These aren’t Hallcard quotes. They’re life lines written in beautiful prose.

What are the best quotes from the Ravenhood Trilogy?

There’s a line about secrets that really resonates with me: “We built our kingdom on lies, and then wondered why the walls kept crumbling.” This line really captures the entire plot. Everything – the relationships, the brotherhood, the love – is all rooted in something that is destined to decay. This line really captures that sense of frustration and despair, and the sense of inevitability. The characters are watching their world fall apart, and they know that they had this power to stop it – to fix it – but they didn’t.

What are the best Hawks quotes in MHA?

This quote is almost wistful. It’s the basis for his whole reason for being a hero. As a young boy he came up with the simple, yet reasonable, conclusion that “You can save more people if you’re fast” and that has remained the motivation for his actions as a hero throughout his life. The quote is almost tragic in its purity. The child’s assertion makes sense, but we know from our adult perspective the horrific costs of acting on this which led to his break down and all of the moral compromises that he made along the way. This is the initial motivation for the man who wanted to be a hero, who could solve problems before they even became problems, and this wish drove him throughout his life.

What are the most famous quotes from 'Romeo and Juliet'?

4 Answers2025-06-28
You can love or hate Shakespeare but he’s certainly written a play with many memorable lines, some of which stick in the mind long after they’ve been read. Romeo’s last words, ‘Thus with a kiss I die’ are particularly haunting as is Juliet’s request to the nurse ‘Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, / Take him and cut him out in little stars’ to be remembered forever in celestial art. There are many more quoted lines throughout the play, including ‘Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs’, ‘O happy dagger!’, and many more which evoke strong emotions and are a big part of the play’s longevity and the reason it continues to feel so alive today.

What are Frank N Furter's best quotes in Rocky Horror?

3 Answers2026-04-28
Frank N Furter is one of those characters who just oozes charisma, and his lines in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' are pure gold. My personal favorite has to be 'Don’t dream it, be it.' It’s such a simple yet powerful mantra—like, why just fantasize about something when you can go out and make it happen? It’s a line that’s stuck with me for years, popping into my head whenever I need a little push to take risks. And then there’s 'I’m just a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania.' The way he delivers it with that sly grin? Iconic. It’s playful, bold, and unapologetically himself, which is everything Frank stands for. Another gem is 'Antici...pation.' The way he drags it out, teasing both the audience and the characters, is pure theatrical genius. It’s like he’s reveling in the chaos he creates. And let’s not forget 'Well, you got caught with a flat. Well, how ’bout that?'—so casually sinister. Frank’s quotes aren’t just lines; they’re a vibe, a lifestyle. They capture his flamboyant, chaotic energy perfectly, and that’s why fans still scream them back at the screen decades later.

What are Emma M Lion's best-known quotes?

5 Answers2026-06-15
Just when I thought I needed something to get me through my twenties, Emma M. Lion’s “There are years that ask questions and years that answer” has become the perfect mantra for feeling lost and still being hopeful. And as for quotes in general, they are like little compasses. The best ones are small and sturdy, and point you in the right direction, or back to your own personal North Star.

What are Zatanna's most memorable quotes in DC comics?

12 Answers2025-09-20
Later, in a Justice League team-building exercise, she annoyed Batman with the observation, ‘You can’t plan for magic, Bruce. You can only rehearse.’ It’s a wonderful distinction. Planning implies a desirable degree of predictability and control. Rehearsing, on the other hand, implies preparation, practice, and the ability to adapt to the variables that inevitably arise and that even magic can’t make completely disappear. Thus the line captures the distinction between a strategic/tactical thinker like Batman and a performer like Zatanna, and indicates why both are necessary on a Justice League-style crisis-management team. Batman would like to map out a flowchart to anticipate all the possible developments; Zatanna relies on her long reflexes, her magical recall, and her experience of how to think on her feet.

What are the best books with unrequited love for young adults?

11 Answers2025-04-25
'Chandler Legacies', Abdi Nazemian's novel about five students at a boarding school in the 1990s, focuses on Beth who is stuck in limbo not knowing how to express her hidden love for her roommate Sarah. But this unrequited love is fraught with much silence and fear of detection from the faculty and the rest of the student body. However, with secret after-school writing sessions led by Beth, she finds solace and support from her fellow struggling students, resulting in the novel portraying finding one’s voice not only creatively but also personally. The main love story is but one of many interlocking friendships, of other secret hopes and traumatic memories of all of the five main characters, but above all an exploration of silence, fear, secrets and hidden expressions of love, aching to be free in times when such love could not be openly uttered or acknowledged – it’s all such to carefully be hidden and thus, sometimes, to be deliberately and very carefully codified and expressed in subtle yet clear gestures of endearment.

What are the best monologues from The Vampire Diaries?

6 Answers2026-04-09
I really loved the monologues to doppelgängers and to destiny in TVD. This is from Katherine in the doppelgängers monologue: “I think this is a big cosmic joke…we were born with this face. We have this face and it seals our destiny to tragedy. It draws attention to us that is supernatural.” This is really a powerful metaphor for being unable to control one’s life and how one is to play a role that was written for someone else centuries ago. These were really great explorations of identity and free will, buried in a ton of vampire/werewolf/witch drama.

Is Course of Temptation about best friends falling in love?

9 Answers2026-04-21
Yes, technically speaking. I would say that The Godfather is a movie about a family and a business, not just a family. Similarly, while the friendship of the male lead develops into romance with the female lead, the core of the story revolves around their growth and healing from past wounds and their learning to effectively communicate with each other. He’s struggling with the immense pressure from his family and expects himself to meet an almost impossible standard, building walls around himself as he tries to cope. She’s recently gotten out of a very bad relationship that’s left her with very low self-esteem. In the safe space of their friendship, the two of them can finally begin to heal. And their eventual romance is a natural progression of the two healthiest people possible finding each other after each has done a lot of growing and healing on their own. Much of the book explores the male lead’s therapy sessions, his struggles with his career, as well as the separate lives of the two leads and their respective friend groups. A simple love story this is not. Rather, it is a deep and complex character study of two interesting people who just happen to find each other.
