This meme is driving me crazy if only because every quote sounds so familiar and I can see the scene in my mind but I can't remember the title.

So, naturally, I decided I would participate to get my revenge!!! :P

sidenote: does anyone else have a notebook on their desk where they write down favorite quotes?

Instructions:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search or other search functions.
6. GUESS AWAY! ♥


1. A kiss may not be the truth, but it is what we wish were true.

2. There's nothing more exhilarating then pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?

3. Hey lady, it's against the rules to throw other people's heads!

4. When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.

5. They don't know what it is to be a fan, y'know? To truly love some silly piece of music or some band so much that it hurts.

6. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are.

7. Charlie, you wanna insult me, fine, but you can't envy me at the same time.

8. Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.

9. You have wings? I don't have wings!

10. Never run from anything immortal; it only attracts their attention.

11. Po-tay-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.Even you couldn't say no to that.

12. Listen, you're Kylie. You're an unbelievably nice guy. Your job is really, just to... be available, I think. I don't know your Latin name. I doubt they even had opossums in Ancient Rome.

13. It's only an island if you look at it from the water.

14. Everyone's lost but me.

15. I got your promise. Not a scratch.

"Daddy claims the Hogwarts houses are really gangs. They have their own colors, their own hideouts, and they are always riding for each other, like gangs. Harry, Ron, and Hermione never snitch on one another, just like gangbangers. Death Eaters even have matching tattoos. And look at Voldemort. They're scared to say his name. Really, that "He Who Must Not Be Named" stuff is like giving him a street name. That's some gangbanging shit right there."

-- from "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas

Angel: Well, I guess I kinda worked it out. If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters... , then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today. I fought for so long, for redemption, for a reward, and finally just to beat the other guy, but I never got it.

Kate Lockley: And now you do?

Angel: Not all of it. All I wanna do is help. I wanna help because, I don't think people should suffer as they do. Because, if there's no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world.

*****************************************************************

Angel: What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then, I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for 100 years, so a few months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M. C. Esher perspective. But I did get time to think... about us... about the world. Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. It's harsh, and cruel. But that's why there's us - champions. Doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world is as it should be, to show it what it can be. You're not a part of that yet. I hope you will be.

I feel like we should stop calling feminists ‘feminists’ and just start calling people who aren’t feminists 'sexist,’ and then everyone else is just a human.

— Maisie Williams on Arya Stark as a feminist

(I'm sure this has been said before, by many many people but still...I like it)

During the Battle of Monmouth, General Charles Lee ordered his troops to retreat, running directly into Washington's troops. Washington was not happy. Here's an excerpt from Sarah Vowell's book Lafayette in the Somewhat United States:

Washington, fuming, spotted Lee. Uninterested in Lee's excuses for calling off the attack, Washington yelled, "Go to the rear, sir." As Lee rode off, Washington let rip a spew of profanity.

General Charles Scott of Virginia, who had served with both Washington and Lee in the French and Indian War, claimed to hear the whole thing, getting a kick out of His Excellency's meltdown: "Yes, sir, he swore on that day till the leaves shook the trees. Charming! Delightful! Never have I enjoyed such swearing, before or since. Sir, on that memorable day, he swore like an angel from Heaven."

[...]

The scene of Washington cussing out Charles Lee was for some reason not included in the series of bronze illustrations of the Battle of Monmouth on the monument at the county courthouse. Even though it was the most New Jersey-like behavior in the battle, if not the entire war.

I didn't watch The Academy Awards this year. Actually, I haven't watched in awhile because I don't have a antenna on my TV so I don't get any network channels.

But I did Google Chris Rock's opening monologue this morning because I was curious about what he had to say. This is the quote that stood out for me:

Hey, if you want black nominees every year, you need to just have black categories. That’s what you need. You need to have black categories.

You already do it with men and women. Think about it: There’s no real reason for there to be a man and a woman category in acting.

C’mon. There’s no reason. It’s not track and field.

You don’t have to separate ‘em. You know, Robert De Niro’s never said, “I better slow this acting down, so Meryl Streep can catch up.”

No, not at all, man. If you want black people every year at the Oscars, just have black categories like Best Black Friend.

"The attitude you have as a parent is what your kids will learn from more than what you tell them. They don't remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are."

"Freedom of expression truly exists only when a society's most repugnant nitwits are allowed to spew their nonsense in public."
