Movie lines I love:



      



   




Little girls! I am in the business of putting old heads on young shoulders, and all my pupils are the crème de la crème. Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life.

~~~

Deep in most of us is the potential for greatness or the potential to inspire greatness. 

-from The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969), Jean Brodie addressing her class

~~~

Sandy, please try to do as I say and not as I do. Remember, you are a child, Sandy, and far from your prime.
-spoken by Miss Brodie

~~~
A man with a wife and six children plus a schoolgirl for a mistress can be called any number of rude names, but "coward" is not one of them. 
-spoken by Teddy Lloyd

~~~

JEAN BRODIE:  It was you who betrayed me!
SANDY:  I didn't betray you - I put a stop to you!

    I love the quotes, especially the last two. I have never seen this movie.

    Lovely movie - and if you are a fan of Maggie Smith she has recently starred in an excellent period drama which was serialised over her "Downton Abbey."

    utterly silly thing to say this - but i do think that it's high time that walking around wearing half a carpet came back into fashion!

    Pixies~ What a creatively funny thing for you to say. Your observation skills are top-notch!

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.
