Standing on a Rock when the Wind Blows

An email suddenly remind me of this scene from Pride and Prejudice (2005) movie starred by Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. I wish one day I will take the place of Ms. Lizzie Bennet (Knightley). Huu....huu.... I am obsessed with Fitzwilliam Darcy a.k.a Mr. Darcy. It's an acute one! *darn! He even take the place of Tuxedo Mask of Sailormoon and Rhett Butler of Gone with the Wind. >_<

If I had to choose between the 3 books (2 novels and 1 manga, actually!) Honestly, my choice will fall to Pride and Prejudice. Well, because although the storyline is so simple and soooo easy to guess, yet, the characters are human. I can easily found those characters in everyday life (except for Mr. Darcy's, of course!) **You know who'll take the role of Lizzie Bennet Darcy, eh?** ^_^

And for Gone with the Wind, for me some part of the story is too exaggerated, although IMHO, the story is deeper and have lotsa conflicts (I was dizzy, I still couldn't imagine how Scarlett face those problems!) Although Scarlett O'Hara Butler is one of my favorite character, but still she cannot come out on top of my Mr. Darcy! =))

Some quotes:
Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Tagline:
Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can't be without.
Dialogue:
Mr. Darcy: I, do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before.
Elizabeth Bennet: Perhaps you should take your aunt's advice and practice?
Mr. Darcy: 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.

Gone with the Wind (1939):
Rhett: You certainly gave a good imitation of it, up till this morning. No Scarlett, I tried everything. If you'd only met me half way, even when I came back from London.
Scarlett: I was so glad to see you. I was, Rhett, but you were so nasty.
Rhett: And then when you were sick, it was all my fault ... I hoped against hope that you'd call for me, but you didn't.
Scarlett: I wanted you. I wanted you desperately but I didn't think you wanted me.
Rhett: It seems we've been at cross purposes, doesn't it? But it's no use now. As long as there was Bonnie, there was a chance that we might be happy. I liked to think that Bonnie was you, a little girl again, before the war, and poverty had done things to you. She was so like you, and I could pet her, and spoil her, as I wanted to spoil you. But when she went, she took everything.
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett, Rhett please don't say that. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for everything.
Rhett: My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying, "I'm sorry," all the past can be corrected. Here, take my handkerchief. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief.

I was so lazy to type, so I took the quotes from here and here.
