"Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.""Does anybody really know when it’s right? And how do you know – are there signs? Fireworks? Is it right when it feels comfortable or is comfortable a sign that there’s no fireworks?
Is hesitation a sign that it’s not right, or is it just a sign that you’re not ready? In matters of love how do you know when it’s right?" "They say that opposites attract, but they never say for how long, i could't help wondering, without sharing the word, could even the hottest relationship stop cold?" "I'm not drunk, I'm sedated from my pain!" "In love relationships there is a fine line between pleasure and pain. In fact it is a common belief that a relationship without pain is a relationship not worth having. To some pain implies growth. But how do we know when the growing pains stop and the pain pains begin? Are we masochists or optimists if we continue to walk that fine line?" "When things come too easy we're suspect. Do they have to get complicated before we believe they're for real? We're raised to believe that the course of true love never runs smoothly. There always have to be obstacles in Act Two before you can live happily ever after in Act Three. But what happens when the obstacles aren't there? Does that mean there's something missing? Do we need drama to make a relationship work?" "If this was all I was ever going to get out of Big, was it enough for me?" "I realised I had just entered an interesting chapter in my life. I had outgrown the boys of my past and not quite grown into the men of my future." "No matter how far you travel or how much you run from it, can you ever really escape your past?" "I started thinking about honesty. Maybe the whole idea was overrated. Maybe coming clean is the ultimate selfish act: a way to absolve yourself by hurting someone who doesn't deserve to be hurt."  "I couldn't help but wonder what it meant that I wanted to talk to my ex-boyfriend again." "After all, seasons change, so do cities; people come into your life and people go.
But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away." "Why is it that we only seem to believe the negative things people say about us, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary?" "How do you bounce back when reality batters your belief system and love does not, as promised, conquer all?" ''I miss New York. Take me Home'' Carrie: You don't even care if I'm in your life!
Big: Would you calm down?
Carrie: No! I'm so tired of calming down!" "Is hope a drug we need to go off of? Or is it keeping us alive? What's the harm in believing?" "When it comes to relationships, I couldn't help but wonder. What are we fighting for?" "I'm sure you have your bad traits. Whatever ya got. I mean it's all gonna come out eventually,so I'd like to know now, and that way I can decide if I'd like to deal with it or not." "That night I started to think about belief. Maybe it's not even advisable to be an optimist after the age of 30. Maybe pessimism is something we have to start applying daily, like moisturizer. Otherwise, how do you bounce back when reality batters your belief system and love does not, as promised, conquer all." "I began to realize that being beautiful is like having a rent-controlled apartment overlooking the park: completely unfair and usually bestowed upon those who deserve it least." "Men in their forties are like the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle: tricky, complicated, and you're never really sure you got the right answer." "No matter who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal, you'll never get through it without your friends." "On the way home, I was furious. Not with Big, with myself. I was the real sadist. He might be the one with the whip, but I was the one who tied myself up. Tied myself to a man who was terrified of being tied down." "Like every woman consumed with a relationship problem, I needed a project to keep my mind from obsessing and my hands from dialling his number." "So many roads. So many detours. So many choices. So many mistakes." "Maybe men and women aren't from different planets as pop culture would have us believe. Maybe we live a lot closer to each other. Perhaps, dare I even say it, in the same zip code." "When real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep walking." "As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going." " Welcome to the age of uninnocence. No one has breakfast at Tiffany's and no one has affairs to remember. Instead we have breakfast at 7 am and affairs we try to forget as soon as possible." "When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psychotic."  "You shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it. "Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then" What if Prince Charming had never showed up?
Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever?
Or would she have eventually woken up, spit out that apple, gotten a job, a health-care package, and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank? I can't help but wonder if inside every successful driven woman is just a princess waiting to be saved?" "After he left, I cried for a week, and then I realized I do have faith. Faith in myself, faith that I would one day meet someone... who would be sure that I was the one."  --Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw
