We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
Before you speak, ask yourself: Is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve the silence?

Lisa: Mr. Bergstrom! Hey, Mr. Bergstrom!
Mr. Bergstrom: Hey, Lisa!
Lisa: “Hey, Lisa” Indeed!
Mr. Bergstrom: What? What is it?
Lisa: Oh, I mean, were you just gonna leave? Just like that?
Mr. Bergstrom: Aww, I’m sorry Lisa; y’know, it’s the life of the substitute teacher; He’s a fraud. Today he might be wearing gym shorts, tomorrow he’s speaking French, or, or, pretending to know how to run a band saw, or god knows what.
Lisa: You can’t go. You’re the best teacher I’ll ever have.
Mr. Bergstrom: Aww, that’s not true, other teachers will come along-
Lisa: Oh, please!!
Mr. Bergstrom: No, I can’t lie to you, I am the best. But, y’know they need me over in the projects of capitol city.
Lisa: But, I need you, too.
Mr. Bergstrom: That’s the problem with being middle-class. Anybody who really cares will abandon you for those who need it more.
Lisa: I-I understand. Mr. Bergstrom, I’m gonna miss you.
Mr. Bergstrom: I’ll tell you what, whenever you feel like you’re alone, and there’s nobody you can rely on, this is all you need to know.
Lisa: Thank you, Mr. Bergstrom. So, I guess this is it, if you don’t mind, I’ll just run along-side the train as it speeds you from my life.
Mr Bergstrom (as train speeds away): Goodbye, Lisa honey; it’ll be OK, just read the note.One of the most touching moments on the show.

Michelle Williams was very insecure about her body when she was so pregnant, so Heath Ledger would often put padding under his shirt to appear pregnant as well, in hopes of making his wife feel better. This photo was taken the first time Heath did this.

Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong, but I can’t. If a thing is free to be good it’s also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
