Quote Of The Week

Memories are killing. So you must not think of certain things, of those that are dear to you, or rather you must think of them, for if you don’t there is the danger of finding them, in your mind, little by little. That is to say, you must think of them for a while, a good while, every day several times a day, until they sink forever in the mud.

One Of My Favorite Men

Ever since I watched Sense and Sensibilities back in 2007, I understood what kind of men I prefer to be with. As much as I liked Edward Cullens, I prefer Edward Ferrars, but... of course, I've never fancied the idea of men like that, I prefer men like Colonel Brandon. A man. A man who let go the woman he loved for a man that he knew wasn't worthy of. A man that still saved her, knowing that she wouldn't return his feelings. A man that loved her. A man. A genuine man.
Of course he was mysterious.
and mostly silent.
and dark.
and secretly tough.
had a voice descended from heaven.
and of course played by Alan Rickman.


he's one of my favorite characters and definitely the type of guy I like. you know... mysterious, most of the time silent, likes to read, selfless and a right gentleman. Can someone please find me my own Colonel Brandon?
