Ramble from my head

So, lately I’ve been having trouble concentrating on the serious side of my writing. I don’t know what it is, but every time I go to write something a little bit on the deeper side, I lose track and can’t seem to complete my thoughts.

So, I decided to just run with it. Until something profound pops into my head, I’m going to write about the little things that I think of. Be ready.

———————————–

Today’s post will be a compilation of some of the greatest movie quotes of all time. Some are personal favorites and some are just worthy of noting.

I’m sure I will be revisiting this post in the future. If one of your favorites isn’t listed, please leave it in a comment.

Enjoy.

Thanks to IMDB for clarification on the exact wording in some of the longer quotes.

“Ray, people will come Ray. They’ll come to Iowa for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won’t mind if you look around, you’ll say. It’s only $20 per person. They’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they’ll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They’ll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they’ll watch the game and it’ll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steam rollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh… people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.” – Field of Dreams

“Yes, I’ve heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he’d consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.” – Braveheart

“Well, yeah it dosen’t really allow my dice to roll and by dice I mean testicles. Speaking of testicles, let me get a beer.” – Out Cold

“The Holy Grail ‘neath ancient Roslin waits. The blade and chalice guarding o’er her gates. Adorned in masters’ loving art, she lies. She rests at last beneath the starry skys.” – The Davince Code

“What we do in life; echoes in eternity.” – Gladiator

“Forgive me sir, but to me, the Navy isn’t a business. It’s an organization of people who represent the finest aspects of our nation. We have many traditions. In my career, I have encountered most of them. Some are good, some not so good. I would, however not be here today were it not for our greatest tradition of all… Honor sir.” – Men of Honor

“It’s not a tumor!” - Kindergarten Cop

“Hakuna Matata” – Lion King

“My Mama always said, ‘Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” – Forrest Gump

“I was there. Yeah, it was called the ’80s. Ford was President, Nixon was in the White House and FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bummin’ in a hole-in-a-wall town in what is now called Utah. Some fella from Colorado shows up, starts making so called “improvements”, right? Before we knew what hit us, the streets are running with late’. It got so bad that a fella that liked to, you know… smoke a little grass or drink a little ripple. Crow like a rooster, maybe challenge the mayor’s son to a gentlemen’s duel, was “uncouth, against God.” More like bad real estate values. So we had to go!” – Out Cold

“I’ll be back.” – Terminator

“Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!” – Pulp Fiction

“I am Iron Man.” – Iron Man

“So if I asked you about art, you’d probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life’s work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I’ll bet you can’t tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You’ve never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you’d probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can’t tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You’re a tough kid. And I’d ask you about war, you’d probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, “once more unto the breach dear friends.” But you’ve never been near one. You’ve never held your best friend’s head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I’d ask you about love, you’d probably quote me a sonnet. But you’ve never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn’t know what it’s like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn’t know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms “visiting hours” don’t apply to you. You don’t know about real loss, ’cause it only occurs when you’ve loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you’ve ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you… I don’t see an intelligent, confident man… I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you’re a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart.” – Good Will Hunting

“Freedom!!” – Braveheart

“Yeah, man that will be pimp! That way you know she’ll be drunk. You know when you hear girls saying like ‘ahh I was so shit faced last night I shouldn’t have f**ked that guy,’ we could be that mistake!” – Superbad

“A man can be an artist… in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey’s art is death. He’s about to paint his masterpiece.” – Man on Fire

“If you aint first, you’re last. That phrase is trademarked and not to be used without the written permission of Ricky Bobby Inc.” – Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

“And Shepherds we shall be For Thee my Lord, for Thee Power hath descended forth from Thy hand Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patri, Et Fili, Et Spiritus Sancti.” – Boondock Saints

“You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.” – Toy Story

“I’m your Huckleberry.” – Toombstone
