a knight tale quotes

 so this is a quote from a knight tale movie, the best movie i've ever seen, i just love the theme, story, how we can change our star, this movie give us hope, enjoy :D

 

William: It is strange to think, I haven't seen you since a month. I have seen the new moon, but not you. I have seen sunsets and sunrises, but nothing of your beautiful face. The pieces of my broken heart are so small that they could be passed through the eye of a needle. I miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to. I next compete in the city of Paris, I will find it empty and in the winter if you are not there. Hope guides me, that is what gets me through the day and the night. The hope that after your gone from my site, it will not be the last time that I look upon you. 

William: If I could ask God one thing, it would be to stop the moon. Stop the moon and make this night and your beauty last forever. 

Prince Edward: Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough.  

Wat: We're the sons of peasants. Glory, and riches, and stars are beyond our grasps. But a full stomach, that dream can come true. 
Jocelyn: Damn your pride, William. It is you and only you that will not see you run.
William: My pride is the only thing that they can't take from me.
Jocelyn: They can take it away from you, they can and they will. Oh, they will. But love they cannot take.
William: Where will we live? In my hovel? With the pigs inside during the winter so they won't freeze?
Jocelyn: Yes, William. With the pigs... The poor can marry for love...
William: Oh Jocelyn, you speak of what you do not know...
Roland: God love you, William.
William: I know, I know. 'Cause no one else will.
Jocelyn: A flower is only as good as its petals. Don't you think?
William: A flower is good for nothing. You can't eat a flower, a flower can't keep your warm...
Jocelyn: And a rose never knocked a man off a horse either, did it?
William: You're just a silly girl aren't you.
Jocelyn: Better a silly girl with a flower, than a silly boy with a horse and a stick...
[she walks away]
William: Your name lady, I still need to hear it.
Jocelyn: Sir hunter, you persist.
William: Or perhaps angels have no names, only beautiful faces.
Wat: You have been weighed.
Roland: You have been measured.
Kate: And you have absolutely...
Chaucer: Been found wanting.
William: Welcome to New World. God save you, if it is right that he should do so.
 
William: It's not in me to withdraw.
Prince Edward: No. Nor me. Though it happens.

 

your children are not your children

your children are not your children, they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may house their bodies but not souls, you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer seek the mark upon the path of infinite and he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness, for even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable

aku atau mereka

semakin merenung
semakin bimbang
malam pun tetap membisu
dan waktu semakin berlalu
menghimpit diriku

diantara dilema
aku atau mereka
senyumku atau senyum mereka
impianku atau impian mereka
hidupku atau hidup mereka
aku tak mampu
sungguh tak mampu
memilih diantara keduanya

aku gila
dan semakin gila
andai aku bisa pergi
berlari jauh
hingga semua hilang
dan aku bisa tertawa
tertawa lepas
bukan palsu
seperti selama ini.

satu dari berjuta

kau terang, walau tanpa cahaya
semua langkah terhenti saat memandangmu
seakan bumi berhenti berputar
seakan waktu tak ingin berlalu
mereka tertahan oleh keindahan parasmu

kelak seorang pangeran akan menjemputmu
menempatkanmu di singgasana tertinggi di hatinya
namun dia bukanlah aku
aku hanyalah manusia biasa
salah satu dari berjuta
pengagum rahasiamu

semoga dirimu selalu
dan selalu tersenyum
walau bukan untukku

dariku untukmu, peluluh hatiku
penghenti langkahku
pengalih jalanku

terimakasih,
tlah memberi terang dalam gelapku
tlah memberi warna dalam hidupku
yang berlalu tak berarti

satu lembar terakhir dalam hidupku

kadang aku menatap langit
semua yang tlah terjadi
semua yang tlah kujalani
dan semua yang tlah kupilih
berakhir tak berarti


seakan hidup akan hilang begitu saja
tanpa ada catatan tuk dikenang


namun kini kusadari
ternyata semua ini
semua yang tlah kulewati
menuntunku kepadamu
membawaku kepada senyumanmu


mungkinkah masih tersisa
satu lembar terakhir dalam hidupku
tuk kutulis tentangmu
tentang bagaimana kau mengubah duniaku

aku dan benalu

Kenapa aku dan benalu ?
   benalu ( menurut om wikipedia ) adalah tanaman parasit yang hidup bergantung pada tumbuhan lain, dalam arti kiasan benalu ini sering dikaitkan dengan orang yang senang menumpang kepentingannya kepada usaha orang lain tanpa mau berusaha sendiri atau orang yang merugikan atau menyusahkan hidup orang tempat dia menumpang. Dan mungkin memang itulah persamaan antara aku dan benalu, aku hanya bisa menyusahkan orang lain yang berada di dekatku.
    Setiap kali aku menyesalinya, kenapa aku seperti benalu, tak pernah berguna dan hanya menyusahkan orang lain. Namun penyesalan tinggalah penyesalan, aku masih terus melakukannya lagi, tak tau kenapa, tapi selalu saja berulang seperti ini, mungkin ini adalah sifat asliku, sifat yang kucoba menolaknya,menghapusnya,tapi tak bisa...
   aku adalah benalu,yang kan selalu menempel pada orang lain,aku tak berguna,dan hanya menyusahkan dan setelah menulis ini pun, aku akan melakukannya lagi,kesalahan yang sama lagi, maaf jika aku menyakiti, karena aku memanglah aku,benalu...( 29 oktober 2009 )
