Havana


Jack Weil: I know a butterfly can flap it's wings in China and cause a hurricane in the Caribbean. They can even calculate the odds.. Just isn't likely and it takes so long.

Breakfast at Tiffany's


Holly Golightly: I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.

Wolf (2)


Will Randall: You know, I think I understand what you're like now. You're very beautiful and you think men are only interested in you because you're beautiful, but you want them to be interested in you because you're you. The problem is, aside from all that beauty, you're not very interesting. You're rude, you're hostile, you're sullen, you're withdrawn. I know you want someone to look past all that at the real person underneath but the only reason anyone would bother to look past all that is because you're beautiful. Ironic, isn't it? In an odd way you're your own problem.

To Catch a Thief


John Robie: Why did I take up stealing? To live better, to own things I couldn't afford, to acquire this good taste that you now enjoy and which I should be very reluctant to give up.


(Taken from To Catch a Thief, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, 1955)

V for Vendetta


V: There is a face beneath this mask, but it's not me. I'm no more that face than I am the muscles beneath it, or the bones beneath them.


(Taken from V for Vendetta, directed by James McTeigue, 2006)

A Beautiful Mind


John Nash: I've always believed in numbers and the equations and logics that lead to reason. But after a lifetime of such pursuits, I ask: what truly is logic? Who decides reason? My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional and back. And I have made the most important discovery of my career, the most important discovery of my life: it is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found.

I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the reason I am... You are all my reasons.


(Taken from A Beautiful Mind, directed by Ron Howard, 2001)
