*How we view our past determines actively our ability to understand the present.* -- The Da Vinci Code
*It's quiet... only three days left. Plenty of time to read my Bible and look for a loophole.* -- Dead Man Walking
*Redemption isn't some kind of free admission ticket you get because Jesus paid the price. You have to participate in your own redemption.* -- Dead Man Walking
*I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rest all that was not life, and not, whn I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.* -- Dead Poet's Society
*We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering... these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life, but poetry, romance, love... these are what we stay alive for.* -- Dead Poet's Society
*Just shut up! I wanna marry you because you're the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only person I wanna kiss good night. Because the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn't imagine not being able to hold them. But mainly, when you love someone as much as I love you... getting married is the only thing left to do. So, will you... um... marry me?* -- Definitely Maybe
*I'm scared of everything! I'm scared of what I saw. I'm scared of what I did. Of who I am. Most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way that I feel when I'm with you.* -- Dirty Dancing
*I think it can all be summed up in; 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions'... and the road back? Humility.* -- Divine Secrets of the Ya-ya Sisterhood
*It's not the meaning of life... it's the feeling of life. Look at that park down there. Just think how many loves lost and found in it. How many frisbees lost, and just remember... that's your park my friend, and you've got your whole life to walk through it.* -- Down to You
*Life is filled with good byes, a million good byes... and it hurts every time.* -- Eve's Bayou
*You know, we just don't recognize the most significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought - 'well, there'll be other days.' I didn't realize that was the only day.* -- Field of Dreams
*You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in really isn't your home anymore? All of a sudden the idea of 'home' is gone. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You'll never have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself... for your kids, or the family you started. It's like a cycle or something. I don't know. But I miss the idea. Maybe that's all a family really is; a group of people who miss the same imaginary place.* -- Garden State
*This isn't a coversation about this being over. It's... it's... I'm not like, putting a period at the end of this, you know. I'm putting like, an ellipsis on it. 'Cause I'm... I'm... I'm worried that if I don't figure myself out, if I don't go, like land on my own two feet, then I'm just gonna mess this whole thing up. And this is too important. I gotta go. You changed my life and I've known you four days. This is the beginning of something really big... but right now, I gotta go.* -- Garden State
*For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once a part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving. Maybe I'm going home.* -- Gattaca
*Life and death... energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul... it was worth it for having been allowed o walk where I've walked... which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it... and above.* -- Gia
*Sex was real easy. It was everywhere. It didn't really mean too much. Love was the hard thing to find, even if you were looking for it... which not too many people were. And even if you found it... which not too many people did. Even if it was right there in front of you, how could you see it with all the sex in the way?* -- Gia
*I always believed it was the things you don't choose that makes you who you are. Your city, your neighborhood, your family. People here take pride in these things, like it was something they'd accomplished. The bodies around their souls... the cities wrapped around those. I lived on this block my whole life. Most of these people have. When your job is to find people who are missing, it helps to know where they started. I find the people who started in the cracks and then, fell through. This city can be hard. When I was young, I asked my priest how you could get into heaven and still protect yourself from all the evil in the world. He told me what God said to his children; "You are sheep among wolves. Be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves.* -- Gone Baby Gone
*Thought you would've done that by now. You know why you haven't? Because you think this might be irreparable mistake. Because deep inside you, you know it doesn't matter what the rules say. When the lights go out, and you ask yourself, 'is she better off here or better off there?' You know the answer... you always will. You... you could do a right thing here. A good thing. Men live their whole lives without getting this chance. You walk away from it, you may not regret it when you get home. You may not regret it for a year. But when you get to where I am, I promise you... you will. I'll be dead, you'll be old, but she... she'll be dragging around a couple of tattered, damaged children of her own and you'll be the one who has to tell them you're sorry.* -- Gone Baby Gone
*Miracles are funny things. You never know when they're going to happen, and when they happen in a place like this... that's the most unbelievable miracle of all.* -- The Green Mile
*There are as mny ways to live in this world as there are people in this world... and each one deserves a closer look.* -- Harriet the Spy
*I love this spot. It's like Heaven right here on Earth. Maybe that's what Heaven is. Maybe we go through life collecting people and places we lov... an they become our Heaven. -- Here on Earth
*One dance, one look, one kiss... that's all we get. Just one shot to make the difference between 'happily ever after' and, 'oh, he's just some guy I went to some thing with once.* -- Hitch
*Because that's what people do... they leap. And they hope to God that they can fly, because otherwise you just drop like a rock, wondering the whole way down, 'why the hell did I jump?' But here I am... falling. And the only one that can make me feel like I can fly... is you.* -- Hitch
*You don't make history by following the rules. You make history by seizing the moment!* -- The Hollow Man
*You that place between sleep and awake... the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you... that's where I'll be waiting.* -- Hook
*Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it. Whatever the pain. Because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.* -- Horse Whisperer
*I don't get bananas. They're green for about two weeks, then they're ripe for about 12 minutes, then they turn brown and mushy forever. Sometimes I can't even go out because my bananas are about to turn ripe and I don't want to miss it.* -- Hotel de Love
*To look life in the face - always look life in the face, and to know it for what it is, at lest to know and love it for what it is. And then... to put it away.* -- The Hours
*I remember one morning getting up at dawn. There was such a sense of possibility. You know that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself that this is the beginning of happiness... this is where it starts. And of course, there will always be more. It never ocurred to me that it wasn't the beginning... it WAS happiness. It was the moment, right then.* -- The Hours
