Memorable quotes for “How I Met Your Mother” Milk (2006)
*** begin quote ***
Ted: No, it’s not an adventure, it’s a mistake!
Lily: OK, yes it’s a mistake. I know it’s a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it’s a mistake but you don’t really know it’s a mistake because the only way to really know it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say ‘yep, that was a mistake.’ So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you’d go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not. And dammit, I’ve made no mistakes! I’ve done all of this; my life, my relationship, my career, mistake-free. Does any of this make sense to you?
Ted: I dunno, you said mistake a lot.
*** end quote ***
When you wake up from a four decade dream, you ask: “Was it a mistake?”.
Did I steal a life time of joy and stuff all 8 decades of joy into 4?
No mistake.
A mistake is putting ketchup on your hot dog or mustard on your hamburger. (There are some acts that are just unnatural!)
Unfortunately, life has no VCR. Can’t rewind it and do it over. Like the movie Groundhog Day, with Bull Murray figuring out how to win the girl’s heart.
Sometimes the Universe sets it up for you. Sometimes you have to make it rain?
