My favorite one of all: "He who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man." (Fear and Loathing intro)
* Ferris Bueller:
I did have a test today. That wasn't bullshit. It's on
European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not
European,
I don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialist?
They could be fascist anarchists - that still wouldn't change the fact
that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any ism for
that
matter. Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not
believe in
an ism - he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon:
"I don't
believe in Beatles - I just believe in me". A good point there.
Of
course, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus - I'd still have
to bum
rides off of people.
* [A laser
beam is slowly approaching a certain part of James Bond's body]
James Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Auric Goldfinger: No Mr. Bond! I expect you to die!
* Ash: Groovy.
* Harry:
Aha! I know what you're thinking... Did I fire six shots or
only
five? To tell you the truth, I forgot it myself in all this excitement.
This here's a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and it
can blow your head clean off. Now, you must ask yourself one question:
"Do I feel lucky?" Well, do you, punk? (Dirty Harry)
* Buttercup:
You mock my pain!
Westley: Life is pain! Anyone who says different is trying
to sell you
something. (The Princess Bride)
* Mr.
Pink: You kill anybody?
Mr. White: Couple of cops.
Mr. Pink: No real people?
Mr. White: Just cops. (Reservior Dogs)
* Travis Bickle: You talkin' to me? (Taxi Driver)
* "Bart, with $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like...love!"
* "Airbag systems would say 'Are you sure?' before going off." - "If Microsoft Made Cars"
* "The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."
Signs that you are sick of modern society
- "You e-mail your son in his room to tell
him dinner is ready, he e-mails you back ''What's for dinner?''
- "You buy a computer and a week later
it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid."
- "You consider 2nd day air delivery painfully
slow."
- "You hear most of your jokes via e-mail
instead of in person."
- "Your reason for not staying in touch
with family is that they do not have e-mail addresses."
- "You try to enter your password on the
microwave."
- "Every commercial on television has a
web-site address at the bottom of the screen."
And to finish this page off for now...a Hunter S. Thompson quotation:
"If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism."
