movies quotes

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
V (V for Vendetta)

What is the cure for cancer, Eric? The cure for death itself? The answer...is immortality. By creating a legacy, by living a life worth remembering, you become immortal.
Amanda (Saw II)

Eric: I've always loved my son. That's never changed.
Jigsaw: No...no...it's changed now. You see, the knowledge of death...changes everything. If I were to tell you the exact date and time of your death...it would shatter your world completely. I know. Can you imagine what it feels like to have someone sit you down and tell you that you're dying? The gravity of that? Then the clock's ticking for you. In a split second, your world is cracked open. You look at things differently, smell things differently. You savor everything, be it a glass of water or a walk in the park.
Eric: The clock is ticking, John.
Jigsaw: But most people have the luxury of not knowing when that clock's going to go off. And the irony of it is that that keeps them from really living their life. It keeps them sleepwalking. It keeps them drinking that glass of water, but never really tasting it.
Saw II

Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don't want to believe it but, there is no man, Gilly. Only that moon.
Sally Owens (Practical Magic)

Noah: Well, that's what we do! We fight! You tell me when I'm being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you're being a pain in the ass, which you are 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have, like, a two second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Allie: So what?
Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. And we're gonna have to work at this every day. But I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day.
(The Notebook)

I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. And I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect, I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and for me, that has always been enough.
Duke (The Notebook)

Michelle: Mike and I had such a connection. The first time that we had sex, it was so beautiful I cried.
Jeannie: You cried?
Michelle: Yeah.
Andie: You mean one glistening tear on your cheek, right?
Michelle: No, I was really emotional. I even told him that I loved him.
Andie: After how many days?
Michelle: Five...two.
(How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days)

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If they pray for courage, does God give them courage, or does he give them opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for their family to be closer, you think God zaps them with warm, fuzzy feelings? Or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
God (Evan Almighty)

Gretchen: Donnie Darko? What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something.
Donnie: What makes you think I'm not?
Gretchen: You're weird.
Donnie: Sorry.
Gretchen: No, that was a compliment.
(Donnie Darko)

You have to be okay with yourself before you can ever be okay with anyone else.
Daniel Miller (Defending Your Life)

I've made the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You're the only reason I am...you are all my reasons.
John Nash (A Beautiful Mind)

I find you very attractive. Your assertiveness tells me that you feel the same way about me. But ritual remains that we must do a series of platonic actions before we can have intercourse. Now, I'm doing that. But all I really want to do is have sex with you as soon as possible.
John Nash (A Beautiful Mind)

A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.

Cappy: SHUT UP, BULLWINKLE.
Bullwinkle: Okay, Frank.

(Airplane!)

Elaine: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as possible, we've got to get them to the hospital...
Striker: A hospital.. what is it?
Elaine: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
(Airplane!)

Striker: Surely you can't be serious?
Rumack: I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!
(Airplane!)

Everything in this room is eatable. In fact, even I am eatable. But that, my dear children, is called cannibalism which is in fact frowned upon in most societies.
Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

Col. Mustard: Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!
Wadsworth: You don't need any help from me, sir.
Col. Mustard: That's right!
(Clue)

I'll turn him into a flea. A tiny, helpless flea. And I'll put that flea in a box. And then I'll put that box in a bigger box. Then I'll mail that box to myself, and when it comes I'll (laughs maniacally) SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER! It's brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! (knocks over a potion, which makes a plant explode) Or, to save on postage, I'll just poison him with THIS!

She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington just like she promised, and you get to die for her just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really; except Elizabeth, who is, in fact, a woman.
Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl)

Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world...except for a nice M.L.T., mutton lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomatoes are ripe, they're so perky, I love that.

Chris Knight: Why am I the only person that has that dream?
(Real Genius)

Mitch: Why does he keep going into our closet?

(Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)

Do you ever put your arms out and just spin and spin and spin? Well, that's what love's like. Everything inside you is telling to to stop before you fall. But for some reason, you just keep going.
Gillian Owens (Practical Magic)

The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity.
Lord Darkness (Legend)

Screwball: I vote we run like hell.
Brown Tom: I second the motion.
(Legend)

Maybe that whole love thing is just a grown-up version of Santa Claus; just a myth we've been fed since childhood. So, we keep buying magazines, joining clubs, and doing therapy and watching movies with hit pop songs played over love montages all in a pathetic attempt to explain why our love Santa keeps getting caught in the chimney.

Uncle Millard: It has always been your greatest misfortune, nephew, that you so thoroughly amuse yourself with the sound of your own voice.
Leopold: In a life as stagnant as mine, that I can amuse myself at all is an evolutionary miracle.

If a man washes a dish and no one sees it, did it happen?

Alex: The what?
Emma: In every book I've ever read, whenever there's an ample bosom, there's always heaving.
(Alex and Emma)

I'm just a writer, Emma. I don't know what to do to show you how much I love you. I only have words. That's all I have.
Alex (Alex and Emma)

Alex: I uh...
Emma: Well, I "uh" you too.
(Alex and Emma)

(Mean Girls)

I know it may look like I was being like a bitch, but that's only because I was acting like a bitch.
Cady (Mean Girls)

I gave him everything! I was half a virgin when I met him.
Regina (Mean Girls)

Cady: You're not stupid, Karen.

Karen: I can stick my whole fist in my mouth! Wanna see?
Cady: No no no... Anything else?
Karen: Well... I'm kinda psychic. I have a fifth sense.

Cady: Really? That's amazing.
Karen: Well... they can tell when it's raining.

Don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and die! Don't have sex in the missionary position, don't have sex standing up, just don't do it, OK, promise? OK, now everybody take some rubbers.
Coach Carr (Mean Girls)

Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter. And ruining Regina George's life definitely didn't make me any happier. All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you.
Cady (Mean Girls)

At your age, you're going to have a lot of urges. You're going to want to take off your clothes, and touch each other. But if you do touch each other, you will get chlamydia... and die.
Coach Carr (Mean Girls)

Gretchen: I think tonight might be the night with Jason.
Karen: What are you talking about? You've already slept with him.
Gretchen: Yeah, but tonight might be the night I like it.

Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid.
Barbossa (Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl)

Even a good decision if made for the wrong reasons can be a wrong decision.
Governor Swann (Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl)

Elizabeth: Yes, the rum is gone.
Jack: Why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire royal navy is out looking for me. Do you really think that there is even the slightest chance that they won't see it?
Jack: But why is the rum gone?
(Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl)

I've got a jar of dirt! I've got a jar of dirt!

Jack: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

Have you not met Will Turner? He's noble, heroic - terrific soprano. Worth at least four... maybe three and a half. And did I happen to mention... he's in love? With a girl. Due to be married. Betrothed. Dividing him from her and her from him would only be half as cruel as actually allowing them to be joined in holy matrimony, eh?
Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)

Norrington: My God. You actually were telling the truth.
Jack: I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised.
Will: With good reason.
(Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)

Abraham Lincoln (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure)

Marksman: What are you?
Dorian Gray: I'm complicated.
(League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)

Since when does anyone have a clue about what they want?
God (Bruce Almighty)

Bruce: How do you make someone love you without affecting free will?
God: Welcome to my world, son. If you come up with an answer to that one, let me know.
(Bruce Almighty)

God: Grace. You want her back?
Bruce: No. I want her to be happy, no matter what that means. I want her to find someone who will treat her with all the love she deserved from me. I want her to meet someone who will see her always as I do now, through Your eyes.
God: Now THAT'S a prayer.
(Bruce Almighty)

Parting a soup is not a miracle, Bruce. It's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs, and still finds time to take her son to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. What they don't realize is they have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle.
God (Bruce Almighty)

No matter how filthy something gets, you can always clean it right up.

Cogsworth: Yes, Yes, splend - You what? How could you do that?
Beast: I had to.
Cogsworth: Yes, but...but...but why?
Beast: Because I love her.
(Beauty and the Beast)

What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?
Timon (The Lion King)

Simba: I know what I have to do. But going back will mean facing my past. I've been running from it for so long.
(Rafiki hits Simba on the head with his stick)
Simba: Oww. Jeez... What was that for?
Rafiki: It doesn't matter, it's in the past.
Simba: Yeah, but it still hurts.
Rafiki: Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.
(swings his stick at Simba again who ducks out of the way)
Rafiki: Ha. You see? So what are you going to do?
Simba: First, I'm gonna take your stick.
(The Lion King)

Lightning: He's got a Piston Cup!
Mater: He did what in his cup?
(Cars)
