Scent of a Woman (1992)
-Well, gentlemen, when the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay.
-I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that.
-I can tell you this: he won't sell anybody out to buy his future!
- I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew. But I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now he's come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey.

Good Will Hunting (1997)
-Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself.
-Sometimes I wish I had never met you. Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.
-You're not perfect, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you've met, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.
-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. You're an orphan right?
You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some fuckin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief.
-People call those imperfections, but no, that's the good stuff.

City of Angels (1998)
-I would rather have had.. one breath of her hair.. one kiss of her mouth.. one touch of her hand.... than an eternity without it. One.

The Story Of Us (1999)
-There's a history here, and histories don't happen overnight. In Mesopotamia or Ancient Troy there are cities built on top of other cities, but I don't want another city, I like this city. I know what kind of mood your in when you wake up by which eyebrow is higher, and you know I'm a little quiet in the morning and compensate accordingly, that's a dance you perfect over time. And it's hard, it's much harder than I thought it would be, but there's more good than bad and you don't just give up! And it's not for the sake of the children, but God they're great kids aren't they? And we made them, I mean think about that! It's like there were no people there, and then there were people and they grew, and an an an I won't be able to say to some stranger Josh has your hands or remember how Erin threw up at the Lincoln Memorial And I'll try to relax, let's face it, anybody is going to have traits that get on your nerves, I mean, why shouldn't it be your annoying traits, and I know I'm no day at the beach, but I do have a good sense of direction so I can at least find the beach, which isn't a weakness of yours, it's a strength of mine. And God your a good friend and good friends are hard to find. Charlotte said that in Charlottes Web and I love how you read that to Erin and you take on the voice of Wilber the Pig with such dedication even when your bone tired. That speaks volumes about character! And ultimately, isn't that what it comes down too? What a person is made of? That girl in the pin helmet is still here 'bee boo bee boo' I didn't even know she existed until you and I'm afraid if you leave I may never see her again, even though I said at times you beat her out of me, isn't that the paradox? Haven't we hit the essential paradox? Give and take, push and pull, the yen the yang. The best of times, the worst of times!I think Dickens said it best, 'He could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean', but, doesn't really apply here does it? What I'm trying to say is, I'm saying Chow Funs because, I love you
-Isn't this the moment where one of us is supposed to say: Look, this is ridiculous, we love each other, all couples go through this, let's give it another try.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)
-I need to believe, that something extraordinary is possible.
-You are the only reason I am. You are all my reasons. Thank you.
-Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.
-I have a tendency to expedite information flow..by being direct. I often don't get a pleasant result..

The Last Kiss (2006)
-Stop talking about love. Every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts.
-Really?
Really.
Anything?
I'll do anything.
People say that, they don't mean it.
But I mean it!
Well it's very simple... do whatever it takes.
It's that simple?
Yes... you can't fail if you don't give up.
Really.
Anything?
I'll do anything.
People say that, they don't mean it.
But I mean it!
Well it's very simple... do whatever it takes.
It's that simple?
Yes... you can't fail if you don't give up.
-Life is pretty much in the grays for the most part and if you insist always on black and white... you are going to be very unhappy.
-Lie and you will lose her.

Into the Wild (2007)
-I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong.
-rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth.
-What if I were smiling and running into your arms? Would you see then what I see now?
-when you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines through you.

500 Days of Summer (2009)
-What happens if you fall in love?
Well, you don't believe that, do you?
It's love. It's not Santa Claus.
- I know you think she was the one, but I don't. Now, I think you're just remembering the good stuff. Next time you look back, I really think you should look again.
- I haven't seen you?
You must not have been looking..
-She's the light that guides me home. Yes, it is from one of our cards. Someone else wrote it. Doesn't make it less true.

Eat Pray Love (2010)
-To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life.
-if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.
-Listen, balance, my darling, is not letting anybody love you less than you love yourself.
-Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.
-This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.
-It's better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.
-Look for God. Look for God like a man with his head on fire looks for water.
