in the movie donnie darko, the character played by drew barrymore has what is referred to by "a famous linguist" as the most beautiful phrase in the english language written on the board.....
cellar door
phrases can catch one unawares by sound, by meaning, by memory....
other phrases that have stayed with me over the years:
- unmitigated audacity (Frank Zappa, Don't Eat The Yellow Snow)
- Seven Sentences (found item)
- cunning stunts (infantile humour)
- cunning linguist (also, infantile humour)
donnie darko - definitely worth watching
