Movie Quote of the Month

May 2013:

"I felt like a character in a trashy novel; I even knew which trashy novel I felt like a character in, which made it worse; The Best of Everything. At least I wasn't going through the garbage, but that was only because it hadn't turned out to be necessary."

--Nora Ephron Heartburn p. 153
