Quotes[]

Ginger: Uh, Courtney, do you think it's possible to be bored with something you love?
Courtney: (Fanning herself) Be more specific, Ginger.
Ginger: Well, say you love chocolate, and you can have chocolate every single day, as much as you wanted. Do you think you'd ever get bored with that?
Courtney: Bored, no. But nothing's ever as tasty as that first bite, that's why it's good to eat things in rotation. You know, chocolate, vanilla, Mocha Chip.


Courtney: Ginger, there's nothing wrong with a little electricity! Just as long as you don't get shocked.


Ginger: (speaking in her mind) Maybe it takes something you used to want in your past, to point out the goodness of what you have. Maybe we get bored with stuff because we put so much importance on things that are new and as soon as the novelty wears off, we forget just what we liked about it in the first place. Nothing can ever stay the same so why do we expect it to? Instead we should just enjoy it for what it is without ever taking it for granted.
