Quotes by Hillary DePiano

“Originally,”

“Its frustrating because sometimes you have items that dont sell the first few times around or buyers that back out and you end up with the item in storage for months, taking up space! ... I found myself wishing there was a way to have items in my inventory that only existed after they were purchased and paid for so I didnt have to waste the real estate on them.”

“I didnt need to have any copies on hand,”

There is no greater power than that of a laugh and happiness is a force which can save a person from the horrors of the world.

DOSTIE: Lets be honest here. People? Sometimes they suck. But kids, well, theyre like a new snowfall, you know?

NOEL: You can get excited about the future. The past wont mind.

MURRY: I believe in a lot of things. Santa Claus, magic, vampires, and even ghosts but I dont believe in luck. Good or bad.

MOTHER TIME: Life goes by so very fast, my dears, and taking the time to reflect, even once a year, slows things down. We zoom past so many seconds, minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that its important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take stock, and acknowledge our place in time before diving back into the melee. Midnight on New Years Eve is a unique kind of magic where, just for a moment, the past and the future exist at once in the present. Whether were aware of it or not, as we countdown together to it, were sharing the burden of our history and committing to the promise of tomorrow.

MOTHER TIME: We all get the exact same 365 days. The only difference is what we do with them.

MOTHER TIME: Every New Year is the same. Every day, every second is too for that matter.

MURRY: Resolutions are a complete waste of time. Theyre just this meaningless ritual, empty promises we make and break within hours of each other.

MURRY: Why do we even celebrate the New Year? Its just this arbitrary quirk of how we measure time in years, right? Midnight tonight is the very same transition from day to day that we do every 24 hours. But this thing in my hands, it feels real in a way the numbered calendar box never does. Why? What makes midnight tonight any different?

MURRY: Its not that, its just… I dont really get it. I usually find myself staring at the midnight deadline filled with regrets both for opportunities and loved ones missed. Its another day closer to the end. The last thing I feel like doing is counting down to some wild celebration. It just seems so sad to say goodbye to a year and know that it’s gone forever and you can’t go back to it. Not to relive, not to correct.NOEL: Ive never thought about it that way.MURRY: Theres something so final about it. Its the period at the end of the sentence.NOEL: The New Years resolution.

NOEL: And even when I dont stay up until midnight, I still enjoy the tradition of New Years resolutions. What can I say? I like setting personal goals and challenging myself to improve. I suppose I could do it on any day of the year, but the New Year is as good a day as any. Its a fresh start.

MOTHER TIME: The past is always with us, dear, for better or worse. It is what it is and you cant change it. All you can do is learn how to live with it in the present.

Upon wherein did thine affections tarry when I didst but lie here and rot for many a year? Nay, but those fellows tooketh care to remove the wetness that didst plagueth me of late and hath laid me upon the cool ground to revel in a state of dryness. Nay, I wouldst not delay them in their noble course for all thine base and bestial howling.CREONTA: Then, you, dearest donkey, precious beast of burden, tear those two apart and eat their flesh!DONKEY: Nay, but alas for many a season didst you but keep the food of the tummy from me and my mouth when it was that I required it of you. These fine gentlemen of fortune didst but give me carrots of which to partake which I did most verily and forthsoothe with merriment. I havest decided that thou dost suck most verily and no longer will I layth the smackth down in thine name but will rather let such gentlemen as these go free of themselves.
