Few of mine.
Shawshank Redemption:
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”
The Green Mile:
“Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, bears it all away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in the darkness, and sometimes we lost them there again.”
Stand By Me:
“The most important things are the hardest thing to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them – words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make relevations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear.”
And Beautiful Girls:
“A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you’ve been drinking ‘Jack and Coke’ all morning. She can make you feel high, full of the single greatest commodity known to man — promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gate of a beautiful girl, in her smile, in her soul, in the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it’s going to be okay.”
Just my personal favorites.
