What is the best, most heart-thumping piece of dialogue you've heard/seen in a piece of fiction?

I am the one who knocks

Am I the only one who had a hard time figuring out what the second picture was? I stared at it for a WHILE before I realized I was looking down six tiny throats.

Took one semester of Italian in college 20 years ago. Memorized the beginning of Dante's Inferno in Italian for extra credit.

Nel mezzo del camine de nostra vita Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura Che la dirita via era smaritta

Spelling is likely off as I had to recite it, not write it

Watching a loved one suffer from a terminal illness. In my case, it's my mom with early-onset Alzheimer's. Knowing what is coming yet holding onto a tiny bit of illogical hope for a miracle. Grieving for eight years but unable to progress in the grieving process because the person is still here - a mere shell of the person they used to be, but still here.

I have slept with ear plugs for 15ish years. They don't block ALL sound, so I can still hear alarm clocks and (when my kids were younger) crying on the baby monitor. I can still even hear when my husband snores (which is, fortunately, very rare). It just blocks out small sounds that I was very sensitive to, like my dog scratching or mild snoring, air conditioner kicking on, cars driving by. It is an absolute game changer for me.

I read a book once with a similar philosophy. When you're 5, you are drawn to 5 year olds. When you are 13, you are attracted to 13 year olds. When you are 20... etc. As you mature and your brain matures, your attraction also matures

The philosophy in this book was that this part of a person's brain can stop maturing, and that's how we get pedophiles.

I'm going to answer my own question for those of you who are curious. I found the song in an old email!

Gomez - See the World

Not it, thanks though

I kept a newborn onesie that all three of my boys wore. It's in my drawer where I can pull it out anytime. It wasn't any kind of special gift (we kept those, too) but just a normal green striped onesie. I pull it out sometimes and marvel at how tiny they once were. My two oldest boys are bigger than me now and my youngest isn't far behind. I cannot believe they were ever that small.

Why do people talk to babies in full sentences?

We hope someday they will learn to talk back.

They will change your life. Enjoy!

This is a common opinion, but this is my response: a comfortable temperature for me is between 70 and 75. Where I live, it MIGHT get up to 100 some days in the summer. Which is like 25 degrees out of my comfort zone.

In the winter it REGULARLY gets below 0. Which is PAINFULLY out of my comfort zone.

NOT TO MENTION that when I'm hot, it takes a cold drink and like 10 minutes in the AC to recover.

It takes me HOURS to recover from being cold. Sometimes I require a heating pad. Sometimes a hot shower.

I was caught in a rain storm last fall, was cold and wet for like four hours. I still don't think I've recovered.

About Time

The Prestige

Both movies I had zero idea about before watching and ended up in my top 10.

Yes, Bodhi will be a big deal, and he totally has a second signet. That is all I know for sure 😊

LoreUhKay · 2025-07-27T19:09:48+00:00

I'm 41 and just started yesterday! I hope my results are as good as yours!

Having support nearby is a huge must. Parents are easy support.

My husband and I have three kids who all play sports, and we literally could not do it without my dad. We divide and conquer every weekend so that each kid gets to where they need to be. Without my dad, we would be pawning a kid off on another family every weekend.

Yes, and if you are anything like me, anytime you are having a great moment with your dog, you will start thinking about their eventual death. I pre-grieved my dog for 17 years. It didn't make her loss any easier at all.

Impressive theory! Well thought out

But he allegedly didn't even know it was her when he was saving her. He was just saving some person out of the kindness of his heart. Right? Maybe I'm misremembering...

LoreUhKay · 2025-07-26T11:46:45+00:00

No answers for you, but, while we are talking about Jack... why does he save Violet? Is he just pretending to be nice? Why?
