“Felicia managed to stagger to her feet, open the front door, and limp haltingly to the white limousine idling on the snowy street outside the house. Murphy went to the window to watch Felicia get into the limo and depart.
"Yeah," I said, deadpan. "The little blond woman has two of them.”

“Felicity ignores us. She walks out to them, an apparition in white and blue velvet, her head held high as they stare in awe at her, the goddess. I don't know yet what power feels like. But this is surely what it looks like, and I think I'm beginning to understand why those ancient women had to hide in caves. Why our parents and suitors want us to behave properly and predictably. It's not that they want to protect us; it's that they fear us.”

“Felicity," Mrs. Featherington interurupted, "why don't you tell Mr. Brdgerton about your watercolors?" For the life of him, Colin couldn't imagine a less interesting topic (except maybe for Phillipa's watercolors), but he nonetheless turned to the youngest Featherington with a friendly smile and asked, "And how are your watercolors?" But Felicity, bless her heart, gave him a rather friendly smile herself and said nothing but, "I imagine they're fine, thank you.”
“Felicità o infelicità non sono quasi mai uno stato di fatto, premio o condanna dell'esistenza, immutabile condizione di gioia o disperazione.
Il loro senso profondo si nasconde invece nel mutamento: in ciò che, proprio in quanto felici o infelici, siamo o non siamo in grado di fare per noi e per gli altri intorno a noi.
"Felice", dal latino "felix" deriva dalla stessa radice verbale fe- di "fecundus", fertile, produttivo.
Fecondi non sono solo i campi di grano: fecondi siamo noi, che grazie alla felicità possiamo sorprenderci a compiere gesti o azioni che mai avremmo immaginato.
Essere felici non significa quindi non avere problemi, contrattempi, e vivere un imperturbabile stato di quiete - quella si chiama tranquillità, calma, magari "relax" come nei dépliant dei resort in qualche spiaggia esotica.
La felicità è invece l'opposto: è l'energia di agire, la gioia di fare, la voglia di cambiare - di essere "fertili", di veder sbocciare i fiori che siamo.
E l'infelicità è il suo contrario: l'incapacità di muoversi, di scrollarsi di dosso pensieri pesanti, l'impossibilità di fare anche solo un passo oltre.
Essere infelici vuol dire non fare niente, non dire niente, non amare nessuno - rifiutare la fecondità della vita, così imprevedibile di occasioni, e preferire la sterilità, l'assenza di eventi.
L'una è azione, l'altra inazione. L'una è slancio verso l'alto, l'altra affondo verso il basso.”

“Felipe focused on the smattering of freckles across her bare left shoulder. For the next hour, he counted each of them out of the corner of his eye--an entire universe's worth. Lost in the constellations, he barely noticed the lurch of the small plane.”

“FELIX. I can't help myself. I drive everyone crazy. A marriage counselor once kicked me out of his office. He wrote on my chart, Lunatic!...I don't blame her. It's impossible to be married to me.
OSCAR. It takes two to make a rotten marriage. (Lies back down on the couch.)
FELIX. You don't know what I was like at home. I bought her a book and made her write down every penny we spent. Thirty-eight cents for cigarettes, ten cents for a paper. Everything had to go in the book. And then we had a big fight because I said she forgot to write down how much the book was...Who could live with anyone like that?”

“Felix lied often and easily in his life. As long as it was for the right reasons, he didn’t see why he shouldn’t. Reality was the fiction that you painted it to be. Painting it the way he liked instead of falling victim to someone else’s brush just made him smarter, didn’t it?”
Source: Equillian's Key

“Feliz ano novo de muitos voos,
de fe, esperança e liberdade,
com muitas viagens e sonhos,
e muita musica e felicidade!
Brilhando como estrelas no ceu,
Jamais deixem morrer a bondade,
Pois mais vale o fruto cheio de mel
que favos recheados de maldade.
Sejam singelos e misericordiosos.
Vejam a leveza perante a gravidade.
Procurem manter-se nao odiosos.
Mais vale o amor que a falsidade.
Que seja um ano repleto de bons frutos,
Pois ja sofremos demais os nossos lutos.”

“Feliz año nuevo (31 dic 2017)
Treinta y uno de diciembre.
Un pez de vino
se perdió en tus largas mejillas de golondrinas.
Levanté la vista
y descubri que la noche poblada de estrellas,
nunca estuvo tan sola.
Si!
La noche poblada de estrellas
nunca estuvo tan sola!
De que otro modo se puede estar solo
sino es rodeado de mi alma?
Sino es poblado de ella?”
“Feliz, finalmente, quien renuncia a todo, y a quien, por renunciar a todo, nada le puede ser quitado o reducido.”
“Feliz is our lone jaguar. The last jaguar we had before him died of despair. That wasn't the official cause of death, of course not, but we all knew it. The rumor goes that the zoo's owners, the Pinkton family, paid an obscene amount to acquire another jaguar, probably the only one on Earth, given the state of the countries in which the creature's natural habitat once existed. Feliz was plucked out of the last few acres of the Amazon as the bulldozers waited, like customers impatiently hovering while a buffet is prepared. So Feliz is kind of a big deal. He doesn't appear cognizant of this fact, however. If anything, he looks to be on a mission to wear away the floor of his enclosure until he drops right through the earth and out of this life. He paces without cease. His nails are worn to stubs and his mouth hangs open in a perpetual rictus that wrecks your heart. He longs to forget all this, and to be forgotten.”

“Felizes os que podem ver de longe a pátria nas garras do abutre. O padre parecia dizer-se a si próprio esta melancólica profecia. A guerra, que devia ser nesta época o móvel de todas as conversações, foi assunto raras vezes tratado pelo padre. Aquele espírito era alto de mais para pascer-se na luta de sórdidas ambições, em que o timbre das bandeiras era o sangue, que esperdiçavam, uns como reses levadas ao açougue do «patriotismo», e outros como aventureiros devorados duma fome que legitima quaisquer princípios, quando a vida é o mais que pode perder-se em comparação ao muito que pode ganhar-se. O padre tinha razão...”
“Fell in love first,
Fell in love quickly—Like I was pushed.
Fell in love next,
Fell in love slowly—Like I was strolling.
Falling in love now
And feeling crazy.
Thinking of closing my eyes
And jumping.”
“Fella in business got to lie an' cheat, but he calls it somepin else. That's what's important. You go steal that tire an' you're a thief, but he tried to steal your four dollars for a busted tire. They call that sound business.”

“Fellini and Bunuel changed my life for me, they are my favourites. If it is true that movies are dreams, both of them, Fellini and Bunuel were shooting in a dream way.”
“Fellini belongs to nature.”
“Fellini is a just a province kid. Rome exists for Fellini, not the other way around.”
“Fellini was [David] Lynch's master and his biggest idol, and he believed in Fellini's view that film is a dream, it's not reality. It's all about delving into the unconscious.”
“Fellini was more in love with breasts than Russ Meyer, more wracked with guilt than Ingmar Bergman, more of a flamboyant showman than Busby Berkeley... Amarcord seems almost to flow from the camera, as anecdotes will flow from one who has told them often and knows they work. This was the last of his films made for no better reason than Fellini wanted to make it.”
“Fellini, Kurosawa, and Bunuel move in the same field as Tarkovsky. Antonioni was on his way, but expired, suffocated by his own tediousness.”
“Fellow Africans, we have condemned Queen Elizabeth II the second for racism and all the atrocities during the colonial period, under her reign, who are we blaming for tribalism, xenophobia and other forms of separatism we commit today?”
“Fellow Americans, our duty is before us tonight. Let us go forward, determined to serve selflessly a vision of man with God, government for people, and humanity at peace. For it is now our task to tend and preserve, through the darkest and coldest nights, that "sacred fire of liberty" that President Washington spoke of two centuries ago, a fire that tonight remains a beacon to all oppressed of the world, shining forth from this kindly, pleasant, greening land we call America.”

“Fellow citizens, why do you burn and scrape every stone to gather wealth and take so little care of your children to whom you must one day relinquish all?”
“Fellow countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first...The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.”
“Fellow-feeling. . .is the most important factor in producing a healthy political and social life. Neither our national nor our local civic life can be what it should be unless it is marked by the fellow-feeling, the mutual kindness, the mutual respect, the sense of common duties and common interests, which arise when men take the trouble to understand one another, and to associate together for a common object. A very large share of the rancor of political and social strife arises either from sheer misunderstanding by one section, or by one class, of another, or else from the fact that the two sections, or two classes, are so cut off from each other that neither appreciates the other’s passions, prejudices, and, indeed, point of view, while they are both entirely ignorant of their community of feeling as regards the essentials of manhood and humanity.”
