*If you focus on what you left behind, you will never see what lies ahead.* -- Ratatouille

*You must be imaginative... strong hearted. You must try things that may not work and you must not let anyone define your limits because of where you came from.* -- Ratatouille

*It's all just a random lottery of meaningless tragedy, and a series of near escapes... so I take pleasure in the details you know... a quarter pounder with cheese - those are good. The sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain. The moment when your laughter becomes a cackle...* -- Reality Bites

*All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough, or strong enough, or talented enough. They'll say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to be this, or achieve that. They will tell you 'no' a thousand times... 'no' until no's become meaningless. They will tell you 'no' and we will tell them 'yes.'* -- Remember the Titans

*This is where they fought the battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting in the same fight that we are still fighting among ourselves today. This green field right here, painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys. Smoke and hot lead pouring right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men - 'I killed my brother with malice in my heart.' 'Hatred destroyed my family.' You listen, and you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. I don't care if you like each other or not... but you will respect each other. And maybe, I don't know, maybe, we'll learn to play this game like men.* -- Remember the Titans

*But what they didn't know was - that their lives would be changed forever, because they had been part of something great, and greatness, no matter how brief, stays with a man.* -- The Replacements

*They held each other and kissed, and pushed each other's darkness into the corner, believing in each other's light... each other's dreams.* -- Requiem for a Dream

*Faith is a bluebird you see from afar, it's for real and as sure as the first evening star. You can't touh it or buy it or wrap it up tight, but it's there all the same, making things turn out right.* -- The Rescuers

*I think sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it, because if we actually felt how much we really loved them... it would kill us. That doesn't make you a bad person. It just means your heart's too big.* -- Riding in Cars With Boys

One day can make your life. One day can ruin your life. All life is, is four or five big days that change everything.* -- Riding in Cars With Boys

*My father was very sure about certain matters pertaining to the universe. To him, all good things - trout as well as eternal salvation - came by grace. And grace comes by art... and art does not come easy.* -- A River Runs Through It

*...as the moon lingers a moment over the bitter roots, before its decent into the invisible, my mind is filled with song. I find I am humming softly - not to music, but something else. Some place else. A place remembered. A field of grass where no one seemed to have been, except a deer... and the memory is strengthened by the feeling of you, dancing in my awkward arms.* -- A River Runs Through It

*Eventually, all things merge into one and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some are words of theirs. I am haunted by waters.* -- A River Runs Through It

*Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same questions; We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we do not know what part of ourselves to give, or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. So it is, those who we live with, and love, and should know, elude us. But we can still reach out to them. We can love them completely, without complete understanding.* -- A River Runs Through It

*At midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper... and that will be the end of the fairy tale.* -- Roman Holiday

*There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said, 'no.' But somehow we missed it. Well... we'll no better next time.* -- Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead

*Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one - a moment in childhood, when it first occured to you that you don't go on forever. It must have been shattering. Stamped into one's memory. And yet... I can't remember it. It never occured to me at all. We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know that there are words, out we come, bloodied and squawling, with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction. And time is the only measure.* -- Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead

*Generally speaking, things have gone about as far as they can possibly go, when things have gotten about as bad as they can reasonably get.* -- Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead

*You want a man who will walk you down the beach with his hand over your eyes just so you can discover the feel of sand beneath your feet. You want a guy who will wake up at dawn just bursting to talk to you... can't wait another minute to fnd out what you'll say.* -- Runaway Bride

"S"

*You've finally hit bottom and you realize that you can't go any lower, when you find a friend you wouldn't have found anywhere else... there's a kind of intimacy with those things that can go the distance. Sometimes you see the world so clearly and you know just what to do, and jus when to do it. Just what you should have done... and just when you should have done it.* -- The Salton Sea

*Heroes get remembered but legends never die. Follow your heart - you can't go wrong.* -- The Sandlot

*Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was... without exception, I knew. But I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard.* -- Scent of a Woman

Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history, and you are a part of it.* -- Schindler's List

*Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most; that people are basically good. That honor, courage and virtue mean everything. That power and money, money and power, mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this - that love... true love, never dies. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a person should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in.* -- Secondhand Lions

*Tomorrow will come and you will find distractions - a million petty things to keep you going.* -- September

*When love feels like magic, it's called 'destiny.' When destiny has a sense of humor, it's called 'serendipity.'* -- Serendipity

*If you can imagine a hidden place, tucked safely away from the world - concealed by walls of high, snow-capped, mountains. A place rich with all the strange beauty of your night time dreams... then you know where I am.* -- Seven Years in Tibet

*In this place where time stands still, it seems like everything is moving. Including me. I can't say I know where I'm going, nor if my bad deeds can be purified. There are so many things I have done that I regret. But when I come to a full stop, I hope you understand that the distance between us is not as great as it seems.* -- Seven Years in Tibet

*I don't pray because I think it changes God. I pray because it changes me.* -- Shadowlands

*Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore... only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice; as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chose suffering. The pain now is a part of the happiness then. That's the deal.* -- Shadowlands

*I've always found this a trying time of the year. The leaves not yet out, mud everywhere you go. Frosty mornings gone, sunny mornings yet to come. Give me blizzards and frozen pipes, but not this nothing time. Not this waiting room of the world.* -- Shadowlands

*I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright... and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still... the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone.* -- The Shawshank Redemption

*And in the end I realized; I took more than I gave, was trusted more than I trusted, was loved more than I loved... and what I was looking for was not to be found, but to be made.* -- She's Having a Baby

*There's not much I can tell you about this war. It's like all wars I guess; the undertakers are winning, and the politicians who talk about the glory of it, and the old men who talk about the need of it. And the soldiers... well... they just wanna go home.* -- Shenandoah

*I lie to think about the life of wine. How it's a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing. How the sun was shining. If it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes, and if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve. Like if I opened a bottle of wine today, it would taste different than if I would open it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive. It's constantly evolving and gaining complexity - that is, until it peaks. And then, it begins its steady, inevitable decline.* -- Sideways

*Time is a monster that cannot be reasoned with. It paces like a snail when you can't wait, then races like a gazelle when you can't catch your breath.* -- Simon Birch

*My whole life was ordinary, and then we met and these amazing thing started to happen. And I can't explain them, and I know that bothers you. Your life was full of spectacular things, and mine wasn't, and for the first time I feel like I could do anything.* -- Simply Irresistable

*Maybe it's easiest to be mad at the people you trust the most because you know they'll still love you when it's all over.* -- Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

*It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer. But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in baring witness to all of this... and in somehow holding us together when it felt like nothing would ever be the same again.* -- Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

*Happiness lies in our destiny like a cloudless sky before the storms of tomorrow destroy the dreams of yesterday and last week.* -- Snoopy Come Home

*There are few things sadder in this life than watching someone walk away after they've just left you. Watching the distance between your bodies expand until there's nothing but empty space and silence.* -- Someone Like You

*And maybe there's no peace in the world, for us or for anyone else. I don't know. But I do know that as long as we live, we must remain true to ourselves.* -- Spartacus

*The only thing people like more than a hero is to see a hero fall.. fail... die trying. The truth is, inspite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you.* -- Spider-Man

*... when you look in her eyes and she's looking back in yours, everything feels... not quite normal. Because you feel stronger and weaker at the same time. You feel excited, and at the same time, terrified. The truth is, you don't know what you feel except, you know what kind of man you want to be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable and you weren't ready for it.* -- Spider-Man

*Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words, 'With great power comes great responsibility.' This is my gift. This is my curse.* -- Spider-Man

*Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer for them. Scream their names. And years later they'll tell how they stood for hours in the rain just to catch a glimpse of the one who told them to hold on a second longer. I believe there is a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble... and finally... allows us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most, even our dreams.* -- Spider-Man 2

*I know you think we can't be together, but can't you respect me enough to let me make my own decision? I know there'll be risks, but I want to face them with you. It's wrong that we should be only half alive... half ourselves. I love you. So here I am, standing in your doorway. I have always been standing in your doorway. Isn't it about time somebody saved your life? -- Spider-Man 2

*Whatever comes our way - whatever battle is raging inside us... we always have a choice. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what is right.* -- Spider-Man 3

*Tragedy is a test of courage. If you meet it bravely, it will leave you bigger than it finds you. If not, you'll have to live all your life with a coward - beause no matter where you run, you can never run away from yourself.* -- A Star is Born

*... everyone in this world who has ever dreamed about better things has been laughed at. Don't you know that? But there's a difference between dreaming and doing. The dreamers just sit around and moan about how wonderful it would be if only things were different. And the years roll on, and by and by they grow and they forget about everything... even about their dreams. Oh yes, you want to be somebody... but you want it to be easy.* -- A Star is Born

*A philosopher once asked; 'Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at the stars because we are human?' Pointless really. Do the stars gaze back at us? Now that's a question.* -- Stardust

*You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it... centuries and centuries of it. And it was the only thing that made watching your world bareable. Al those wars, pain, lies, hate... it made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... you could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbareable, and... well, strangely easy to mistake for loathing. And, what I'm trying to say is... I think I love you.* -- Stardust

*I'd rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.* -- Steel Magnolias

*Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society.' Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number... and is always trying to get back home.* -- The Stand

*Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.* -- Stepmom

*We are all blind men in a cave, looking for a candle that was lit 30,000 years ago.* -- Stigmata

*I think the loudest silences are the ones filled with everything that's been said. Said wrong... said 300 times. Until fighting becomes the condition rather than the exception, and your only option is a silent retreat to mutual corners. -- The Story of Us

*Life isn't fair. Even the Declaration of Independence only guarantees life, liberty and the 'pursuit' of happiness. It doesn't say anything about fair. It doesn't even say you have the right to BE happy. Just to pursue it.* -- Straight Talk

*You know, I've never met anyone like you before. Usually when I meet someone new I feel awkward and shy... but with you, it's different. I can talk to you. You know what I'm thinking without my having to explain to you in fancy terms. We speak each other's unspoken language, fluently.* -- The Sure Thing

*All we have is how you remember me. I want that memory to be strong and beautiful. If I know I am remembered that way, I can face anything... don't you see? You're my immortality.* -- Sweet November

*Every month is November, and I love you every day. This month never has to end. I surrerender all attempts to control life - yours and mine. I live for one thing - to make you happy. To live firmly and joyously in the moment. November is all I know... and all I ever want to know.* -- Sweet November

*This is the only way yu can hope to survive because life is not a movie. Everyone lies... good guys lose... and love does not conquer all.* -- Swimming with Sharks
