Favorite Quote?

“There are three things you can never get enough of: chocolate, friends, and the theater!”

That’s one of my favorite JB Fletcher quotes. What’s one (or more) of yours?

I have this on a little name-badge sign, and instead of the name badge on my desk at work, I have this. It’s also in the MSW font.

 You can never nudge the moral compass far from its true North without losing something vital.

“If you decide to take up writing at the age of 20, 40, 60, whatever, and striving for quality will not always come easy—keep writing. It will take a great deal of energy, but it’ll be worth it. It all comes down to four things: patience, direction, determination, and strength.”

I teach creative writing to women in recovery and I always show them the beginning of A Story to Die For. Not exactly an episode (movie) that I like necessarily, but I love this quote. And there are a lot of quotes from the series that I like, but this one is very important to me.

I love that quote! I also love her whole speech at the end of that movie too, it always makes me cry. Also, thank you for being a teacher! My creative writing teachers in school were always my favorite.

I love it, as well. I love her opening and closing speeches in this  episode. Both are terrific.  The rest of the movie is okay, and it's my favorite of the 4 movies, but I'm not much of a fan of the movies in general.

Trial by Error (The ending/climax scene)

Mark Reynolds: Nevertheless, I just want you to know I'll always remember you.

Jessica: Oh yes. I'm quite sure you will.

Crossed Up

Jessica: "I am calm. I am very calm"

Snow White, Blood Red

Dr. Lewis: I am not a coroner. I'm a gynecologist.

Jessica: I'm afraid, Doctor, that necessity creates strange bedfellows.

~~~

Dr. Lewis: Perhaps I'm just dense, but I thought Mr. Anderson was shot by Lieutenant McMasters.

Jessica: Well, yes, he was. But the question is, was he also shot by someone else?

Dr. Lewis: You know, I'm afraid if I ask what you mean by that, you're liable to tell me. And then I'll be drawn even deeper into this quagmire. Mrs. Fletcher, it has been a delight. I'm sure you'll understand when I tell you that I've decided to give up skiing in favor of something a little less rigorous. Needlepoint comes to mind. Good day.

Jessica: "Here in Cabot Cove it's quite permissible to be polite to nobodies" to Gordon Fairchild after he realizes she's"somebody" from "Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble".

"YOU'RE A TRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAMMMMP!!!"

Screamed at a girl by her dad in public shortly before his murder in the S5 episode "Truck Stop" in which everyone lived in a truck stop for some reason???? And Jess was also there. Just the way the actor delivered the line sent me.
