Hearts In Atlantis

Ted Brautigan: It will be the kiss by which all others in your life will be judged... and found wanting.

(Taken from Hearts In Atlantis, directed by Scott Hicks, 2001)

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)

American Psycho

Patrick Bateman: There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

(Taken from American Psycho, directed by Mary Harron, 2000)

2 Days In Paris

Marion: It's not your dick that's too big for French condoms, it's your ego that's too big for French condoms. And... and Italian too.

(Taken from 2 Days In Paris, directed by Julie Delpy, 2007)

The Emperor's Club

William Hundert: As I've gotten older, I realize I'm certain of only two things. Days that begin with rowing on a lake are better than days that do not. Second, a man's character is his fate.

(Taken from The Emperor's Club, directed by Michael Hoffman, 2002)
