Erica Albright (Rooney Mara): &quot;You are going to go through life thinking that girls don&#039;t like you because you&#039;re a nerd. And I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that that won&#039;t be true. It&#039;ll be because you&#039;re an asshole.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mark Zuckerberg: &quot;I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try, but there&#039;s no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing. Did I adequately answer your condescending question?<br /> <br /> &quot;You&#039;re not the same as you were before, You were much more...muchier...you&#039;ve lost your muchness.&quot;<br /> I feel like I just found out my favorite love song was written about a sandwich.

a perfect world, when he&#039;s with her, he would be wishing he was with me; when he looked at her, he would be looking at me; when he smiled at her, his smile would be for me; when he thought about someone, he would be thinking about me. In a perfect world, he would realize that she wasn&#039;t the one he was supposed to be with and I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn&#039;t a perfect world and people do get hurt; you smile when you feel like crying; you act like you&#039;re okay when you&#039;re falling apart inside; and you let it go. You move on, because there&#039;s nothing else you can do.&quot; Author Unknown

Love is something you can&#039;t describe like the look of a rose, the smell of the rain, or the feeling of forever.
