Alida: I guess all of us are looking for security these days. You see, Mick thought... Well, like a lot of other people... that if he had money and an important position it would make him secure. Then when he met Ron who didn't have either one and didn't seem to need them, he was completely baffled. The answer was so simple it took Mick a long time to figure it out.
Cary: What was the answer?
Alida: To thine own self be true. That's Ron. You see, Ron's security comes from inside himself. Nothing can ever take it away. Ron absolutely refuses to let unimportant things become important. That's what Mick and I were doing. We were.
【 'I Know Where I'm Going!'】 Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger (1945)
Joan Webster: People around here are very poor I suppose.
Torquil MacNeil: Not poor, they just haven't got money.
Joan Webster: It's the same thing.
Torquil MacNeil: Oh no, it's something quite different.
Donald Kaufman: I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.
Charlie Kaufman: But she thought you were pathetic.
Donald Kaufman: That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.
Charlie Kaufman: Here you go. The killer's a literature professor. He cuts off little chunks from his victims' bodies until they die. He calls himself "the deconstructionist".
Charlie Kaufman: Today is the first day of the rest of my life
【Gran Torino】Clint Eastwood (2008)
Thug: How old are you anyway?
Sue Lor: Mentally, I'm way too old for you.
Walt Kowalski: I confess that I have no desire to confess.
Walt Kowalski: [to Father Janovich] I think you're an overeducated 27-year-old virgin who likes to hold the hands of superstitious old ladies and promise them everlasting life.
Lawyer: [reading from Walt's will] And I'd like to leave my 1972 Gran Torino to ...my friend... Thao Vang Lor. On the condition that you don't chop-top the roof like one of those beaners, don't paint any idiotic flames on it like some white trash hillbilly, and don't put a big, gay spoiler on the rear end like you see on all the other zipperheads' cars. It just looks like hell. If you can refrain from doing any of that... it's yours.
