This is a pretty rough time of the semester. A lot of us are stressed out, probably feeling like we are at the end of our rope. It can be hard to find time to take care of ourselves because the assignments keep piling up. I decided to go through some movie quotes that help get my spirits up, or at least get my mind off of the looming pile of papers growing by the minute. These are some noteworthy and/or obscure quotes from some of my favorite movies.
“There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class.” –Severus Snape, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Classic Snape line, gotta love it.
“It does no good to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live.” –Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Dumbledore hitting Harry with the facts since year 1. Never forget.
“You want me to intervene? Ok, I’M INTERVENING!” –Mr. Incredible, The Incredibles.
“You sly dog! You got me monologuing!” –Syndrome, The Incredibles. An underrated line.
“Oh dear, we are in trouble.” –Filch, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Another underrated line.
“Lieutenant Dan, ICE CREAM!” –Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump.
“We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin’ rain, and big ole fat rain, rain that flew in sideways, and sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot, it even rained at night.” –Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump.
“I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze but I, I think maybe it’s both. Maybe both is happening at the same time.” –Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump.
Food for thought, kids!
“Idiot, pull up!” –Inspector Clouseau, The Pink Panther.
“click, but do not drag, the button that says download.” –Inspector Clouseau, The Pink Panther.
“Some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.” –Ellis Boyd ‘Red’ Redding, The Shawshank Redemption. Shaken to the inner core, my friends.
“Mall people, they come and go. Small people, they just don’t know.” –Samantha James, Just Friends.
“Ooo the big speech.” –Samantha James, Just Friends.
More poetry.
“Help me Tom Cruise!” –Ricky Bobby, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Please.
