Time to reboot this methinks.

"Maybe I finally found it, way down here in the mud. Maybe from down here I can start up again, be something I can be proud of, without having to fake it, be a fake human being. "

Oh, that is from Platoon. I think ~smiles~  and now that I think about it I laugh because of that commercial with Charlie Sheen. "Don't re-enact scenes from Platoon with Charlie Sheen"...


I shall leave one also for those interested in guessing.

"I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life; my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die."

[gaggedLouise]

Deckard in Blade Runner.

A businessman, sort of: "I'm talkin' about ethics. (---) Now, if you can't trust a fix, what can you trust? For a good return, you gotta go bettin' on chance - and then you're back with anarchy, right back in the jungle."

[Captain Maltese]

No idea, I am just resuscitating the thread.


"I have a bad feeling about this."

[Love And Submission]

Star Was.


What does one want when one is engaged in the sexual act? That everything around you give you its utter attention, think only of you, care only for you...every man wants to be a tyrant when he fornicates.

[Captain Maltese]

"Quills" maybe?


"I AM....in a world...of shit."

[Lirliel]

Full Metal Jacket - Gomer Pyle. Easy man.

"Game over man, game over!"

Ahhh.... Alien 2. One of my favorite movies.

"Do you want me to skip the kissing part again?" (probably slightly misquoted)

Princess Bride

If you've not read the actual book, you should. It's even more hilarious than the movie

"Hey, how come yours is bigger than mine?"
"Genetics"

“I am one in a row of specimens. It's when I try to flutter out of line that he hates me. I'm meant to be dead, pinned, always the same, always beautiful. He knows that part of my beauty is being alive. but it's the dead me he wants. He wants me living-but-dead.”

[Sylk]

John Fowles, "THE COLLECTOR"

"I wish my hair smelled like corn silk"

[Lirliel]

Rebooting this once more:

"Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man... June 8th. My life has taken another turn again. The days can go on with regularity over and over, one day indistinguishable from the next. A long continuous chain. Then suddenly, there is a change. "

I do say, Madam that quote is Taxi Driver 1976, good movie. Lot's of interesting Mise-en-scene.

[Lirliel]

You are quite correct, feel free to choose your own.

It's a bit of a long one but it's a good one never the less.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw, my inability to change. I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... It feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... Who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse. So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... Except maybe yourself a little. When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do. But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again.

Laura J Burns.... I had to google that....is that cheating?




My favorite :

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far"

[JoanathaRain]

"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far"

I do believe Roosevelt said that.

[Trieste]

The first one was Helen Keller - I didn't put up the answer because I couldn't think of a quote to replace it with.

Second one was Teddy Roosevelt (so as not to confuse with FDR) - think it was a little after he became president.

I do believe Roosevelt said that.

Since you didn't add a quote after guessing, I hope you don't mind if I do. :)

If you're going to martyr yourself, Abbe, do it for God, not the chambermaid.

[JoanathaRain]

I had a quote in mind T_T I just wanted to know if I was right or not....¬

My quote was going to be this:

“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you”
