Jerry Lee Lewis
- Walk the Line
God gave us a great big apple, see, and He said, "Don’t touch it." He didn’t say touch it once in a while. He didn’t say take a nibble when you’re hungry. He said, "Don’t touch it. Don’t think about touching it. Don’t sing about touching it. Don’t think about singing about touching it."
Atticus Finch
- To Kill a Mockingbird
If you learn a single trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
Madame Gorski
- Sucker Punch
If you do not dance, you have no purpose, and we do not keep things here that have no purpose. You see your fight for survival starts right now. You don’t want to be judged, you won’t be. You don’t think you’re strong enough, you are. You are afraid, don’t be. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight.
Yvaine
- Stardust
My heart, it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it doesn’t belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. If you wanted it, I’d wish for nothing in exchange. No gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion, nothing but knowing you love me too. Just your heart in exchange for mine.
Yvaine
- Stardust
You could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable, and, well, strangely easy to mistake for loathing.
Walter Malby
- Post Grad
Well, you know, ever since you were a little kid, you always seemed to have it figured out. You know, you made good grades, you kept your room neat and clean, you ate your vegetables. Can I be honest with you? I always found it a little troubling. Because, see, hon, the world’s a screwy place. It doesn’t play by the rules.
David Santiago
- Post Grad
I guess I finally realized that what you do with your life is really just one half of the equation. The other half, the more important half really, is who you’re with when you’re doing it.
Samuel Faulkner
- Nine Months
It’s so incredible that the states requires you to take a written test to drive a car, but any complete moron can become a parent and just destroy a child’s life. It’s like people have babies on a whim. Surely to be a parent you have to plan ahead a little bit. Say to yourself, "Do I really want to become a parent? Am I ready for that responsibility?"
The Declaration of Independence
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism. It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and provide new guards for their security.
Sophie Fisher
- Music and Lyrics
... One cold day, when age has robbed your mind of its fertile phrases and your hand of its dexterity, all the success won’t be able to shield you from the pain you’ve caused and the pain you deserve.
Alex Fletcher
- Music and Lyrics
You can take all the novels in the world and not one of them will make you feel as good as fast as: "I got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it’s cold outside, I got the month of May."

I think that’s what I find most strange about this world is that nobody says how they feel. They hurt but they don’t cry out. They’re happy but they don’t dance and jump around. And they’re angry but they hardly ever scream because they feel ashamed. Nothing’s worse than that. So all walk around with our heads looking down and never look up and see how beautiful the sky is.
Sam Gamgee
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
It’s like the great stories... The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end... But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow... A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer... Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding onto something... That there’s some good in this world... and it’s worth fighting for.
Sirius Black
- Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix
The world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
G.K. Chesterson
- Criminal Minds
Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist... children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.
Aslan
- Narnia
I shall be watching you, always... In your world I have another name. You must learn to know me by it. That was the very reason you were brought to Narnia. That by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.
