Slight Twist..
Okay.. so generally speaking, I either post song lyrics or random surveys on this thing because there really isnt much that I care to say. Well, today I'm really not in the mood to do a survey, for fear that I might actually yell at someone through it even though that someone doesn't read these.. and I don't want to post any song lyrics, so I'm going to put some quotes out there. Quotes from some of my favorite movies or tv shows to be exact. I hope you enjoy at least one of them, if not more.
"I learned that dreams don’t work without action
I learned that no one can stop me but me
I learned that love is stronger than hate"
~Roseanne as the character of Roseanne Conner

"I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday."
~Kevin Spacey as Lester Burnham in American Beauty.

"Do you ever put your arms out and spin and spin and spin really really fast? well that's what love is like...it makes your heart race and it turns the world upside down, but if you're not careful, if you dont keep your eyes on something still you can lose your balance and you cant see what's happening to the people around you... you can't see that you're about to fall..."
~Nicole Kidman as Gillian Owens in Practical Magic
~~~~~
"You spend all your time preaching about waiting for love. Well here it is. Right in front of you, and you're going to turn your back on it. So I guess we're just f*ucked. I'll move on. But you are going to have to live the rest of your life knowing that you've turned your back on love. And that makes you a hypocrite. Have a nice life."
~Ryan Phillippe as Sebastian Valmont in Cruel Intentions
~~~~~
"Only a cynical man would call what these people have "lives," Wayne. Crime. Despair. This is not how man was supposed to live. The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption for thousands of years... We sacked Rome. Loaded trade ships with plague rats. Burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence... We return to restore the balance."
~Liam Neeson as Henri Ducard in Batman Begins
~~~~~
"Too close for missles, I'm switching to guns."
~Tom Cruise as Maverick in Top Gun
~~~~~
"There's a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it."
Mel Gibson as William Wallace in Braveheart
~~~~~
"And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command, we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine patris, et filii.. et spiritus sancti"
~Sean Patrick Flannery as Connor McManus and Norman Reed as Murphy McManus in Boondock Saints
~~~~~
"You're sitting on a winning lottery ticket and you're too big of a pussy to cash it in. Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat. Now, that's a fact. I'll fuckin' kill you."
~Ben Affleck as Chuckie in Good Will Hunting
~~~~~
"The first night's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell... and those bars slam home... that's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it."
~Morgan Freeman as Red in The Shawshank Redemption
~~~~~
"You know, there are two kinds of doctors: the kind that get rid of their feelings, and the kind that hold on to them. If you're going to hold on to your feelings, you're going to get sick every once in a while. That's part of it. Helping people is more important than how we feel. Hell, I've been doing this eight years, and I still get sick."
~Noah Wyle as John Carter on ER
As I'm sure you know, there could be many many more of these quotes, but I am going to refrain from posting them. Bye Bye.
