Long live Letterbox!!
there's an even better quote :D
You, sir, just proved your movie worthiness. :D
movies are a huge part of my life...so that's a good thing :razz:
two quotes, which don't have any real meaning (and prolly don't even belong in this thread), but are just hilarious
Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse.
and
If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”
~ Teddy Roosevelt

hhmm I suppose two spring to my mind ...
life is not a rehersal
just reminds me of how there really are no second takes
but then you have someone once telling me that
the only thing that's irreversible is death
Anyway those two are for just life stuff ..
my favourtie gggrrr go get em quote is
Just do it
for some reason it just makes me do stuff ... if I don't want to .. It's really silly but it inspires me immensly!
Just do it.. like just don't think and don't make assumptions and don't worry about what could should would be ... just act.
it's brilliant!
Then there's this email that I JUST got .. so I thought would be appropriate to post...
Why People are strange ...
They lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.
By thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present,
such that they live in neither the present nor the future.
They live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.
Then there is the usual
it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.
A rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."
Just because someone doesn't do things your way doesn't mean it's the wrong way
Two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.
Never forget what others have done for you, but never remember what you have done for others.

I only know in Portuguese
Me digas com quem tu andas, que eu te direi quem tu és

These lines are lyrics from one of Jason Mraz's songs, What it takes (is there a favourite lyrics thread?)
"it takes no time to fall in love
but it takes you years to know what love is
it takes some tears to make you trust
it takes some years to make it rust
it takes some dust to make it polished"

but you laugh in the middle that you've made it"

an old episode of Oprah reminded me of my once favourite quote:
You're never really ready you just close your eyes and jump.
Jim Carey:
If you aren't in the moment
you're either looking forward to uncertainty
or you're looking backward usually to pain and regret ..
basically the point ..
live in the moment.

Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest! ~ Linus
I've learned that there are three things never to dicuss with people. Religion, Politics, and the Great Pumpkin ~ Linus

Books/Literature:
"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." -James Dean (I think this is a universal theme and it's pretty cliche, but I like the way he stated it.)
"…if the only form of tradition, of handing down, consisted in following the ways of the immediate generation before us in a blind or timid adherence to its successes, “tradition” should positively be discouraged. We have seen many such simple currents soon lost in the sand; and novelty is better than repetition.” –T.S. Eliot (the guy is pretentious, but I like this quote)
"Polonius: Do you know me, my lord?
Hamlet: Excellent well, you are a fishmonger."
(I think that's a great line and I LOVE the Mel Gibson rendition. I think he pulled off Hamlet better than anyone else I've seen try and that scene in the library is just excellent. There are other excellent lines from the play, of course, but that one always makes me laugh)
I have a bunch of other quotes I like outlined in my books, but they're at school and I'm home right now so I don't wanna misquote them.
Music: (just a few, there are tons)
"No one is allowed to be so proud, we never reach out when we're giving up." - Better Than Ezra (A Lifetime)
"The sun is always in my eyes. It crashes through the windows and I'm sleeping on the couch when I came to visit you. That's when I knew that I could never have you. I knew that before you did; still I'm the one who's stupid." annnnd "New York city's evil. The surface is everything, but I could never do that, someone would see through that." annnnd "I go home to the coast it starts to rain, I paddle out on the water alone. I taste the salt and taste the pain, I'm not thinking of you again. Summer dies and swells rise, the sun goes down in my eyes through these rolling waves, darkly coming to take me home." - 3EB
(Wow. I love this song. I remember the first time I found it on my brothers old IMac and I'd never heard it before though I knew their first cd. This song is so pretty and poetic, it blew me away.)
"There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin. He says, son can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes, but it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes." -Billay Joel ;)
"There was no party and there were no songs, cause today's just a day like the day that he started. Nobody left here knows his first name, and life barrels on like a runaway train where the passengers change, they don't change anything; you get off, someone else can get on. And I'm sorry Mr. Jones, it's time." -Ben Folds (Fred Jones, pt 2)
"You'll never feel the heat of this soul... My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown to you." - Fiona Apple (Never is a Promise)
Movies:
"I never had any other friends like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" - Stephen King (Stand By me/ The Body)
"I grew up a poor black child." and "I don't need anything! (I need this)" - Steve Martin (The Jerk)
^Hmm. That's all I can think of for movies right now. Lol. I'm sure there are TONS more I love. Oh well. Haha. That's a long list of quotes. I like quotes. :lol:

I agree. Gibson does that sceene better than anyone else. He plays up the comedy and the crazy side very well.
But it's the ONLY sceene he does better than Branagh. Beyond that, he pushes the Oedipus complex too hard, he cuts out major speeches and he overacts in key moments.
Don't get me wrong, I like Gibsons version... but it doesn't hold a candle to Branagh.
