lukas, it doesn’t scan. The line is: “When my love tells me she is made of truth”.

when my mistress tells me that she is made of truth
I do believe her though I know she lies.

Or, better still:

Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to hide them.

Delurking because I can’t pass up a chance at books…So from Steel Magnolias, Shelby (Julia Roberts) suggests that Truvy (Dolly Parton) get a radio for her beauty salon. Truvy’s response:
“I had one once, but I threw it up against the wall when I couldn’t figure out where the batteries went. I know now I was suffering from pre-menstrual syndrome. ”
It’s one of the few movies I can quote along with.

One I had in my head yesterday that I just quoted for no reason out of nowhere is from The Sun Also Rises:

She had curves like the hull of a racing yacht, and you missed none of it with that wool jersey.

It’s not super-fun or anything, but what immediately and constantly pops into my head, double “eeee”s banging, leaving me scrambling to remember what it’s from and what its context is, is “How can we sleep for grief?” from Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia.

Anonymous, but I can’t pass up even a slim shot at a that box of books.

I’ll go with a book, my first Saul Bellow book back as a college freshman, Henderson the Rain King:
“What made me take this trip to Africa?”
It’s the first line of the book, and he takes sixty pages to answer it before he gets to Africa, where hi-jinx ensue.

Because you said whatever always pops into your head and ONLY because of that, I will share the relentless loop of

“Utah! Get me two!”

Nick Nolte to Keanu Reeves in Point Break– for god knows what reason that phrase lives on and on and on in this household.

From “Zooey”
She was still stroking Bloomberg, still succoring him, forcibly, into the subtle and difficult world outside warm afghans.

“The subtle and difficult world outside warm afghans”
Sigh.
