Above and beyond essential mix movie quotes

From ‘Lost in Translation’ (2003):

“Does it get easier? No. Yes. It gets easier. Oh yeah. Look at you. Thanks. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you. Yeah”

From ‘Coach Carter’ (2005): (quoting Marianne Williamson)

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

From ‘Shrink’ (2009):

“Happiness is a word for a feeling. Feelings are rarely understood; in a moment they are quickly forgotten and almost always misremembered. And besides, feelings are totally full of shit.”

“The first step toward happiness is always the hardest. Who said that? *You* did. I did? Yeah.”

“It’s never going to go away, is it? No. But we’re still here. That’s something.”

From ‘Blood Simple’(1984):

“The world is full of complainers. But the fact is, nothing comes with a guarantee. I don’t care if you’re the Pope of Rome, President of the United States or Man of the Year, something can all go wrong. But go ahead, complain, tell your problems to your neighbor, ask for help and watch him fly…Down here… you’re on your own.”

From ‘Coffee and Cigarettes’ (2003):

“Nicolas Tesla perceives the earth as a conductor of acoustical resonance. I have no idea what’s you’re talking about. Can you explain it to me? No, not really. Is that all you’re having for lunch is a coffee and a cigarette? It’s not very healthy.”

From ‘Million Dollar Baby (2004):

“She’s tough, I can’t go inside, I can’t get close enough to hit her. You know why that is? Why? Cause she’s a better fighter than you are, that’s why. She’s younger, she’s stronger, and she’s more experienced. Now, what are you gonna do about it?”

From ‘School of Rock’ (2003):

“Are we going to be goofing off like this everyday? We’re not goofing off. We’re creating musical fusion. Ok, so are we going to be creating musical fusion everyday? Yeah. Get used to it!”

From ‘The Notebook (2004):

“Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want? What do you WANT? It’s not that simple. What… do… you… want? Whaddaya want?”

From ‘Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai’ (1999):

“Our bodies are given life from the midst of nothingness. Existing where there is nothing is the meaning of the phrase “Form is emptiness.” That all things are provided for by nothingness is the meaning of the phrase “Emptiness is form.” One should not think that these are two separate things.”

From ‘Meet Joe Black’ (1998):

“I know it’s a cornball thing but love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. I say, fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who will love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head, and you listen to your heart. And I’m not hearing any heart. ‘Cause the truth is, honey, there’s no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven’t lived a life at all.”

From ‘Revolver’ (2006):

“It’s the only reason you get up in the morning, the only reason you suffer the shitty parts, the blood the sweat and the tears…It’s because you want people to know how good, attractive, generous, funny, wild and clever you really are. Fear will reveal me, but please think I am special, we share an addiction…we’re approval junkies, we are in it for the slap on the back, and the gold watch…the hip-hip-hoo-°ing rah! Look at the clever boy with the badge, polishing his trophy…shine on you crazy diamond. I guess we are all monkeys wrapped in suits begging for the approval of others.”

From ‘Se7en’ (1995):

“I sympathize; I sympathize completely. Apathy is the solution. I mean, it’s easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life. It’s easier to steal what you want than it is to earn it. It’s easier to beat a child than it is to raise it. Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work.”

From ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ (2007):

“How far off course are we? Nobody knows. We haven’t located us yet. What did you just say? What? What you just said. Say it again. We haven’t located us yet. Hah! Is that symbolic? We. Haven’t. Located. Us. Yet.”

From ‘Solaris’(2002): (quoting Dylan Thomas)

“And death shall have no dominion. Dead men naked they shall be one with the man in the wind and the west moon. When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone they shall have stars at elbow and foot. Though they go mad they shall be sane. Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again. Though lovers be lost love shall not. And death shall have no dominion.”

“Am I alive or am I dead? We don’t have to think like that anymore. We’re together now.”
