My Favorite Movie Quotes

From the Desk of Bert E. Jean

Bert E. Jean

1. "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires Grandpa from Lost Boys"

This quote showed the irony that the one who stirred the least trouble in the family, knew all along what could have been everyone's problem.

2. "Excuse moi, pardon, did you say never? So young, and you've already lost hope! This is America, the place to find hope. If you give up now, you will never find them. So never say never." Henri from American Tale

Fievel learns many powerful lessons, and is a brave young mouse who perseveres through troubles.

3. "In origins of women courage is often mistaken for insanity."

Dr. White from Iron Jawed Angels

I like this quote because it is so true, and showed the problems with years of oppression and why it continuously occurred in history.

4. "My parents wanted to move me into high school out of the sixth grade, but we decided to chuck the idea because I'd have trouble making friends, blah, blah, blah. Now blah, blah, blah is all I ever do. I use my grand IQ to decide what color lip gloss to wear in the morning and how to hit three keggers before curfew..."

Veronica from Heathers

Veronica questions whether the parental worries of their children being popular is that they lose sight of what is important for improving humanity.

5. "My name is Glory Dodge and I'm not fucking dead yet. I stand with Josey." A guy reading a note from North Country

What Glory Dodge communicated through a person (because she couldn't speak) had spoke wonders to disability rights and stands against discrimination based on gender.

6.

"Let your heart guide you. It whispers so listen closely." Little Foot's Mom from the Land Before Time

The Land Before Time is a great movie because a lot of emotional intelligence can be built on such a simple journey story.

7.

"Sometimes you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive. Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto." Vera from Dolores Clairborne

Again, we have to wonder with all the problems associated with gender violence and abuse that it takes a lot of gumption to stand up for yourself as a woman. The backlash on the victim takes front burner, and the abuser becomes fully important in his rights.
