Dead Poet Society

[Keating stands on his desk]
John Keating: Why do I stand up here? Anybody?
Dalton: To feel taller!
John Keating: No!
[Dings a bell with his foot]
John Keating: Thank you for playing Mr. Dalton. I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.

Deconstructing Harry

Joan: Tell me, Harry, just tell me something. Was she the only one, or were there others? 

Harry: No, Amy Pollock was the only one, may God strike me dead if I am lying. 

Joan: You're an atheist, Harry!

Harry: Wha-hey, we're alone in the universe, you're going to blame that on me, too? 

Harry: "Does the president think of fucking every woman he meets? Oh sorry, bad example."

Harry: "The most important words in the English language are not "I love you" but "It's benign."  

Harry: "All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we chose to distort it." 

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button: "Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss."  

Benjamin Button: "It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you." 

Benjamin Button: [letter to his daughter] "For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." 

Mrs. Maple: "Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?"
