You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy in Pride & Prejudice (2005)

Padmé Amidala’s costumes featured in the Smithsonian

traveling exhibition Rebel, Jedi, Princess, Queen: Star Wars™ and the Power of Costume

Seriously her costume game was basically the one positive thing the prequels gave us.

Everything about the prequels is positive, but I’ll admit that the costumes are one of the best parts. 

We’ll have to agree to strongly disagree.

When I came out into society, I was fifteen. I already knew that the role I was condemned to, namely to keep quiet and do what I was told, gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learned how to look cheerful while under the table I stuck a fork into the back of my hand. I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralist to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think, and novelists to see what I could get away with. And in the end, I distilled everything to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.
