[Ghostbusters] Brainwaves: Quotes
Dr / Professor May Keaton
"It's okay to wonder what happens next."
“If we’re all gonna die anyway, shouldn’t we be enjoying ourselves now?”
“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are all noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”
“Who allowed you to take my breath away?”
“She pushes people away before they get a chance to leave her, and for twenty years she’s been alone because of it.”
“You can never replace anyone…because everyone is made of such beautiful, specific details.”
“For the wound to heal, you need to stop touching it.”
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
Dr / Professor Allison Wada
"The body is a temple, treat it like one."
"What a dangerous combination."
"Maturity begins when you understand that dignity is more important than falling in love."
"Women, they have minds and they have souls as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition and they’ve got talent as well as just beauty, and I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it! But, I am so lonely.”
“Let’s leave the Jews out of this for a moment. Let’s think of another minority. One that… One that can go unnoticed if it needs to. There are all sorts of minorities, blondes for example… Or people with freckles. But a minority is only thought of as one when it constitutes some kind of threat to the majority. A real threat or an imagined one. And therein lies the fear. If the minority is somehow invisible, then the fear is much greater. That fear is why the minority is persecuted. So, you see there always is a cause. The cause is fear. Minorities are just people. People like us.”
Dr / Professor Heather Nieto-Jorge
"Look for truth, not for fantastical lies."
"I'm surrounded by idiots."
“If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is the ability to play along. and z is keeping your mouth shut.”
“The most important thing in life is life itself.”
“Pursue excellence and success will come chasing you.”
"Each one of us has a story of how we got to where we are, which most likely involves study drugs, getting blackout drunk, and having one night stands. We’ll tell these stories at dinner parties and to our future children. Well, maybe not the one night stand part. Or the blackout drunk part. Or the study drugs for that matter. But maybe our stories don’t have to be for anyone but ourselves.“
Dr / Professor Nova Teufel
"And that is how the world ends."
“When I’m with you, I feel so safe. Like I’m home”
“My problem is that I think too much and I feel too deeply.”
“Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder.”
“Nothing that lives, lives forever.”
“Nobody ever does anything to be nice. They always wanna get something out of it.”
“I’m just a screwed-up girl who’s looking for my own peace of mind.”
“In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think.”
“Those that see me for me, don’t think that my face is the most attractive part.”
“People should be able to say how they feel. How they really feel. Not some words strangers put in their mouths.”
“You talk way too fast, and you are way too nice to everyone … you’re not hard to get at all. You’re hard to earn.”
“My house. My rules. My coffee.”
“If I had a normal family and a good upbringing…then I would have been a well-adjusted person. I mean, I feel like I’m…I feel like I’m ya know well-adjusted. We’re good friends, and it’s good to be, ya know, good friends. I mean, I’d like to really talking with you.”
“There are some people that go to the party and dance, and there are some people that sit in the corner. I’m the corner guy.”
“I am so lost in my life. eleven cups of coffee a day in bed, reading irrelevant things, eating junk all day, lazy, unhealthy and non-productive.”
