quotes from "my so-called life"

Angela: See, there's thinking about him, right? Which is what I do, all the time, like, like this... Ricky: Obsession. Rayanne: Right, so? Angela: So... It keeps me going or something, like, I need it just to get through the day. It's, it's just... Ricky: It's an obsession. Angela: Right. And if you make it real, it's not the same, it's not, it's not yours anymore. I don't know, maybe I'd rather have the fantasy, than even him. Ricky: I completely understand this. Rayanne: I totally and completely disagree. You want Jordan Catalano in actuality, because... There is no because, you just want him. Only you're programmed to never admit it. Ricky: That does have the ring of truth... When you're not sure you trust a person anymore... you start wishing they'd do something like really wrong, just so you could be right about them. -angela Things were getting to me. Just how people are. How they always expect you to be a certain way. Even your best friend. —Angela Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison. And the crime is how much we hate ourselves. It's good to get really dressed up once in a while and admit the truth: that when you really look closely, people are so strange and so complicated that they're actually...beautiful. Possibly even me. —Angela Love is when you look into someone's eyes and suddenly you go all the way inside...to their soul...and you both know, instantly. —Angela Huge events take place on this earth every day: earthquakes, hurricanes, even glaciers move. So why couldn't he just...look at me? —Angela We both stopped talking. Part of his sleeve was touching my arm; I don't know if he knew. Then everything started to seem perfect for some reason. The feel of his shirt against my elbow, the fact that I still had an elbow... It was the perfect moment for him to kiss me, for him to anything me. —Angela It's such a lie that you should do what's in your heart. If we all did what was in our hearts the world would grind to a halt. —Angela There's the people who you've known forever who know you in this way that other people can't, because they've seen you change; they've let you change. —Angela You know you like her. Would it kill you to admit it? Maybe treat her halfway decent? Because, you know, she deserves it. And she's not gonna wait around for you forever. —Rayanne, to Jordan Catalano I'm just really, like, low. I'll just find any excuse to touch him. —Angela
