I've seen things you people would not believe; attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I watched seabeams glitter in the dark by the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.
Roy Batty, Blade Runner
It's too bad she won't live. But, then again, who does?
Gaff, Blade Runner
You are what you love, not what loves you.
Adaptation
First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village, but the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living if you don't have a dick?
Donnie, Donnie Darko
There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.
Don Juan Demarco
If the problem can't be solved, worrying is unnecessary.
Seven years in Tibet
So if I asked you about art you could give me the skinny on every art book ever written...Michelangelo? You know a lot about him I bet. Life's work, criticisms, political aspirations. But you couldn't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling. And if I asked you about women I'm sure you could give me a syllabus of your personal favorites, and maybe you've been laid a few times too. But you couldn't tell me how it feels to wake up next to a woman and be truly happy. If I asked you about war you could refer me to a bevy of fictional and non-fictional material, but you've never been in one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap and watched him draw his last breath, looking to you for help. And if I asked you about love I'd get a sonnet, but you've never looked at a woman and been truly vulnerable. Known that someone could kill you with a look. That someone could rescue you from grief. That God had put an angel on Earth just for you. And you wouldn't know how it felt to be her angel. To have the love be there for her forever. Through anything, through cancer. You wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in a hospital room for two months holding her hand and not leaving because the doctors could see in your eyes that the term "visiting hours" didn't apply to you. And you wouldn't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you lose something you love more than yourself, and you've never dared to love anything that much. I look at you and I don't see an intelligent confident man, I don't see a peer, and I don't see my equal. I see a boy. Nobody could possibly understand you, right Will? Yet you presume to know so much about me because of a painting you saw. You must know everything about me. You're an orphan, right? Do you think I would presume to know the first thing about who you are because I read "Oliver Twist?" And I don't buy the argument that you don't want to be here, because I think you like all the attention you're getting. Personally, I don't care. There's nothing you can tell me that I can't read somewhere else. Unless we talk about your life. But you won't do that. Maybe you're afraid of what you might say.
Robin Williams - Good Will Hunting
Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?
A Beautiful Mind
It was a dream, not a nightmare, a beautiful dream I could never imagine in a thousand nods. There was a girl next to me who wasn't beautiful until she smiled and I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following, soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color and I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.
Basketball Diaries
It's not the prizes, Harry. It doesn't make any difference if I win or lose. It's like a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight so I can be healthy. it's a reason to fit in the red dress. It's a reason to smile, already. It makes tomorrow alright. What have I got, Harry? Why should I even make the bed or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? I'm alone. Seymour's gone, you're gone, I have no one to take care of. Anybody. everybody. What do I have? I'm lonely, Harry. I'm old.
Requiem for a Dream
There was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know that there was no reason to be afraid...ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know, but it helps me remember, I need to remember...sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it... and my heart is just going to cave in.
Ricky Fitts, American Beauty
"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers..... Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life..... But why would I want to do a thing like that?"
Trainspotting
The Naked Gun 2 1/2 slogan:
If you only see one movie this year... you should get out more often!
Time is an abyss. Profound as a thousand nights... Centuries come and go... To be unable to grow old is terrible.
Death is not the worst... There are things more horrible than death. Can you imagine... Enduring centuries... experiencing each day with the same futile things.
Nosferatu (Hertzhog)
Do or do not, there is no try.
Yoda, Empire Strikes Back
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ferris Bueller, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
Harry:"A man can never be friends with a woman he finds attractive, he always wants to have sex with her."
Sally:"That's not true! I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved."
Harry:"No, you don't"
Sally:"Yes, I do."
Harry:"No, you don't"
Sally:"You're saying I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?"
Harry:"No, I'm saying they all want to have sex with you."
Sally:"Well, what if they don't want to have sex with you?"
Harry:"It doesn't matter because the sex part is already out there, so the friendship is ultimately doomed, and that is the end of the story."
Sally:"So a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?"
Harry:"No, you pretty much want to nail them, too."
When Harry Met Sally
"You can tell how much people like a movie by the percentage of the audience that stays. If the entire Audience jumps up when the credits start, they didn't like the movie."
John Waters
Freedom baby, is never having to say your sorry.
Al Pacino in The Devil's Advocate
It is estimated that there are one billion stars, like ours, and in all the universe, there are one billion, billion, planets capable of supporting life, like ours. And in all of that, and maybe even more, there is only one of each of us. Don't destroy the one named Kirk.
McCoy to Kirk, Star Trek
I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed.
Michael Jordan
