... you can learn from:
Harold & Maude (1971)
Maude: A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life. Reach out. Take a chance. Get hurt even. But play as well as you can. Go team, go! Give me an L. Give me an I. Give me a V. Give me an E. L-I-V-E. LIVE! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.
I'm not even kidding, I just burst into tears reading that dialogue to myself. Ruth Gordon, beautiful beautiful Ruth Gordon, was born one hundred and seventeen years ago today. On a list of my favorite people, she'd be way way up there.

Such a great scene, such a great movie. Thanks for reminding me of it.
See, it's posts like this that makes me wish I was the boyfriend. She was wonderful, wasn't she? That's the celebrity sighting I cherish the most - seeing her on 57th Street near Carnegie Hall gesturing wildly while she talked to someone. So cool.
