Quote by John Shirley

Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them.

Summary

This quote humorously compares weekends to rainbows. From a distant perspective, weekends may seem enjoyable and promising, akin to the vibrant and beautiful appearance of rainbows. However, upon closer examination, the quote suggests that weekends often seem to pass by quickly and are noticeably fleeting, just like rainbows that disappear when we try to approach or hold onto them. This playful analogy reminds us to appreciate and make the most of our weekends, as they can slip away swiftly if we don't properly seize the moment.

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama there's no device, It's just about a human being.

Marry me he said voice full of emotion. Be my soul mate my friend and my lover as long as we both live. Make babies with me that have curly hair and big brown eyes. Grow old with me and we'll watch the sun set together in the evenings. And when I leave this world I'll be happy knowing I was the best man I could be for having loved you.

It is unfortunately very true that, without leisure and money, love can be no more than an orgy of the common man. Instead of being a sudden impulse full of ardor and reverie, it becomes a distastefully utilitarian affair.

There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood what women want and that they are capable of giving it to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent consciousness of virtue. Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.
