Quotes

Keeping with the theme of my favorite films, I thought I would share with favorite movie quotes:

The Shawshank Redemption
"Get busy living, or get busy dying."
"Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."
"Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane."
"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free."

Remember the titans
"Attitude reflects leadership, captain."
"This is where they fought the battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting the same fight that we are still fighting among ourselves today. This green field right here, painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys. Smoke and hot lead pouring right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men. I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family. You listen, and you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. I don't care if you like each other of not, but you will respect each other. And maybe... I don't know, maybe we'll learn to play this game like men. "
"You make sure they remember, FOREVER, the night they played the Titans! leave no doubt!"

Field Of Dreams
" 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"

"America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. 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."

"Once a place touches you like this, the wind nevers blows so cold again. You feel for it, like it was your child"

More to come
