Movie Quotes
Smile, it enhances your face value.
~ Truvy (Dolly Parton) in "Steel
Magnolias"
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, beauty, romance,
love, these are what we stay alive for.
~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams)
in "Dead Poet's Society"
How to deal with death is at least as important as how
to deal with life.
~ Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) in
"Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"
In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision
within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being
determined and having the spirit to break through to the
other side.
~ Ghost Dog
There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When
meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and
run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing
under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are
resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed,
though you still get the same soaking. This understanding
extends to everything.
~ Ghost Dog
Our bodies are given life from the midst of nothingness.
Existing where there is nothing is the meaning of the phrase,
"Form is emptiness." That all things are provided
for by nothingness is the meaning of the phrase, "Emptiness
is form." One should not think that these are two separate
things.
~ Ghost Dog
In the Kamigata area they have a sort of tiered lunchbox
they use for a single day when flower viewing. Upon returning,
they throw them away, trampling them underfoot. The end
is important in all things.
~ Pearline, Ghost Dog
There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of
the moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment
after moment. If one fully understands the present moment,
there is nothing left to do, and nothing else to pursue.
~ Ghost Dog
Movie quotes, love:
"There are only four questions of value in life, Don
Octavio.
What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living for? What is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same. Only love."
~ From the film Don Juan DeMarco (1995)
