Famous Renee Carlino Quotes

“New York has an energy that takes root inside of you. Even a transplant like me gets to know the different boroughs, like they're living, breathing organisms. There's nowhere else like it. The city becomes a character in your life, a love you can't take out of you. The mysteriously human element about this place can make you fall in love and break your heart at the same time.”

“I knew in five fucking minutes that I had to know you, that I needed you in my life. I’ve never felt that way about anyone, ever. Whatever happens will be up to you, but I’ll be a different man if I can’t have you. I will never breathe as deeply as I did when I was with you. I’ll never see the range of color on a perfectly cloudless sky. I will never smell anything as sweet as you or hear a voice that fills my heart up as much as yours does. That night in my truck, when I had the low, I knew without a doubt, even though I had never been in love before . . . I knew that I was in love with you.”

“It’s the only way to know you’re really in love, when you ask the question would it be harder to watch him die, or to know he’ll watch me die? Is there more mercy in being the one who does the watching or in being the one who does the dying? It’s when you realize what mercy-killing actually means, it’s when you actually care to the point of tormenting worry. It’s not roses and white horses, it’s fucking brutal and it can send a person running for the hills. To love is brave.”

“„Sadašnjost je naša. Na nama je da iskoristimo ovu sekundu, sada i ovdje, ovaj trenutak prije sljedećega. To je jedini besplatni dar koji nam svemir nudi. Prošlost nam više ne pripada, a budućnost je samo fantazija, nikad zajamčena. No sadašnjost nam pripada. Jedini način da ostvarimo tu fantaziju jest da prihvatimo ovaj trenutak.”

“„Ne možete ponoviti trenutak kad ste nekome prvi put obećali ljubav ili kad ste prvi put osjetili da vas netko voli. Ne možete ponovno proživjeti taj osjećaj straha, divljenja, nesigurnosti, strasti i želje jer se nikad ne dogodi dvaput. Tražite ga ponovno do kraja života, ali nikad se ne ponovi. To ne znači da ne možete voljeti drugu osobu ili nastaviti sa životom; samo znači da se jedan spontani trenutak, sekunda u kojoj ste se odlučili na to, kad vam je srce lupalo, a glava bila prepuna pitanja Što ako? – taj trenutak – neće više nikada dogoditi na isti način. Nikada neće biti intenzivan kao prvi put.”
