quote me on it.
as you all know, i watch too many movies and read inordinate amounts of literature, so it's almost inevitable that i've got a head
swelling full of clever quotes that i've picked up along the way. and i'm sure you guys do too.
instead of changing your signature everytime you come across a great, profound, or funny quote, just post it in this thread from now on.
let's see what you guys can dig up from the 'net while you're at it.
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am
amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record:
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet
had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him
of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are
now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

Ooooh, and here's another two great quotes, both from Se7en, and both said by John Doe.
"When you want people to listen you can't just tap them on the shoulder any more, you have to hit them with a sledgehammer."
"Innocent, is that supposed to be funny? An obese man. A disgusting man who could barely stand up. A man who if you saw him down the street you
would point him out to your friends so they could join you in mocking him. A man who if you saw while you were eating you wouldn't me able to
finish your meal. And after him I picked the lawyer, and I'm sure you both secretly thanked me for that one. This was a man who dedicated his
life to making money by lying with every breathe he could muster to keep murderers, and rapists on the streets. A woman... A WOMAN! So ugly on the
inside she couldn't bare to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer, a drug dealing pedarest (sp?)
actually. Oh, and let's not forget the disease spreading whore.
Only in a World this shitty, could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point. We see a
deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it, we tolerate it because it's common. It's, it's trivial. We
tolerate it morning, noon and night. Well not any more, I'm setting the example and what I've done will be puzzled over, and studied, and
followed... forever...
You should be thanking me... because you're going to be remembered after this. Realise, Detective, the only reason I'm here right now is
that I wanted to be... Oh, really? So, what were you doing? Biding your time? Toying with me? Allowing five "innocent" people to die,
before you felt like springing your trap? Tell me, what was the indesputable evidence you were going to use on me, right before I walked up to you and
put my hands in the air?...
"Oh, that's right and I seem to remember breaking your face. You're only alive because I didn't kill you... I spared you...
Remember that, Detective, every time you look in the mirror at that face of yours, for the rest of your life, or should I say, for the rest of what
life I have allowed you to have. <Mills bit> Don't ask me to pity those people, I don't mourn them any more than the thousands that
died at Sodom and Gamorra."
"Is that to say, John, that what you're doing is God's good work?"
<best line of the whole thing coming up>
"The Lord works in mysterious ways."
Sorry about the length of that, but I can never get enough of that speech it's so chilling and powerful, I love it.

from The Boondock Saints
Connor Mac Manus: Now you will receive us. Murphy MacManus: We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry. Connor Mac Manus: We do not want your tired and sick. Murphy MacManus: It is your corrupt we claim. Connor Mac Manus: It is your evil that will be sought by us. Murphy MacManus: With every breath, we shall hunt them down. Connor Mac Manus: Each day we will spill their blood, 'til it rains down from the skies. Murphy MacManus: Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. Connor Mac Manus: These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.
Murphy MacManus: There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over, in to true
corruption, into our domain. Connor Mac Manus: For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day you will reap it. Murphy MacManus: And we will send you to whatever god you wish.
