6 Quotes From 'The Princess Bride' That Depict What Life And Love Are Really About

It's easy to look around at everyone in love except you, but 'The Princess Bride' provides hope. If you don't already have the movie memorized (which you totally should), here are several quotes that will keep you looking for your one true love.

1. "Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something."

Giphy

Oh, don't we know it. But hey, I might want what they're selling if it takes away from the fact - c'est la vie.

2. "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while."

Giphy

Probably one of my favorite quotes from the movie. I see this as going beyond romantic love. Hopefully, all death can do is delay me from seeing my loved ones for a while.

3. "Get used to disappointment."

Giphy

The way this line is said in the movie is ICONIC. Spoken so bluntly and matter-of-factly; gives me chills every time. One does, indeed, have to learn to cope with disappointment in life- thanks for reminding me.

4. "This is true love — you think this happens everyday?"

Giphy

I can vouch, it most certainly does not happen everyday. If it did, there would be many less lonesome souls going through life single. If you're booed up-kudos, my friend.

5. "Who says life is fair? Where is that written? Life isn't always fair."

Giphy

"Always" is the key word in this quote. Just because life isn't fair, doesn't mean it can't be. I think this is super important to remember when we're feeling defeated.

6. "Love is many things none of them logical."

Giphy

Ah, yes. People really do crazy things when they are in love. Love is definitely addicting like a drug, it can also be just as damaging. Make sure to keep your head on straight.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
