Le Fabuleux destin d' Amélie Poulain



"La vie n'est que l'interminable répétition d'une représentation qui n'aura jamais lieu."
L'écrivain raté


"Sans toi les émotions d'aujourd'hui ne seraient que la peau morte des émotions d'autrefois."
Hipolito


"La chance c' est comme le tour de France, on attend longtemps et puis ça passe vite, quand le moment vient il faut sauter barrière, sans hésiter."
L'homme de verre


"Au moins, vous ne risquait pas d'être un legume parce que même un artichaud a du coeur"
Amélie


"Jeune fille timide, elle cultive un goût particulier pour tous les petits plaisirs de la vie : plonger la main au plus profond d'un sac de grain, briser la croûte des crèmes brulées avec le dos de sa petite cuillère ou faire des ricochets sur le canal Saint-Martin."
Narrateur


"Amélie a soudain le sentiment étrange d'être en harmonie totale avec elle-même. Tout est parfait en cet instant. La douceur de la lumière, ce petit parfum dans l'air, la rumeur tranquille de la ville. Elle inspire profondément et la vie lui paraît alors si simple et si limpide qu'un élan d'amour comme un désir d'aider l'humanité entière la submerge tout à coup..."
Narrateur

Foreword



This blog's raison d'être is plainly and simply publish cool quotes from movies.
It was something I wanted to start some time ago, but it's just now that I decided to go ahead with it.
Firstly, I'll post my favourites; afterwards, I'll post quotes according to a specific topic or concept.
Hope this blog is to your liking and I invite you as well to feel free to post a comment with any other quote you get a kick out of, but if you don't have anything in mind, don't you worry, I understand perfectly:



"I might repeat to myself, slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound; if i can remember any of the damn things."
Dorothy Parker, The Little Hours
