Garden State “This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before & no one will copy through human existence. And if nothing else you’ll be remembered as the one guy who ever did this.. this one thing.”
I know it hurts. But its life, and it’s real. And sometimes it fucking hurts, but its life, and it’s pretty much all we got.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off “Life moves pretty fast…if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it.”
“I do have a test today, that wasn’t bullshit. It’s on European Socialism. I mean, really, what’s the point? I’m not European. I don’t plan on being European. So, who gives a crap if they’re Socialists? They could be fascist anarchists; it still wouldn’t change the fact that I don’t own a car”
Human Traffic “Present is gone. Fantasy is a part of reality. We take the breaks off. We’re thinking clearly yet not thinking at all. This feels right. We stop trying to control things. Warm rush of chemicals through us. We fluctuate. Is this brain damage? We forget all the pain and hurt in life. We want to go somewhere else. We’re not threatened by people anyone. All our insecurities have evaporated.
We want to go somewhere else. We’re not threatened by people anymore. All our insecurities have evaporated. We’re in the clouds now. We’re wide open. We’re spacemen orbiting the earth. The world looks beautiful from here, We’re nympholeptics, desiring for the unobtainable. We risk sanity for moments of temporary enlightenment. So many ideas. So little memory. The last thought killed by anticipation of the next. We embrace an overwhelming feeling of love. We flow in unison. We’re together. I wish this was real. We want a universal level of togetherness, where we’re comfortable with everyone. We’re in rhythm. Part of a movement. A movement to escape. We wave goodbye. Ultimately, we just want to be happy. Heh, yeah a hang on, what the fuck was I just talking about?”
ALL THAT EXISTS IS NOW IS PUBS, CLUBS, DRUGS AND PARTIES. I HAVE GOT 48 HOURS FROM THE WORLD MAN IM GOING TO BLOW STEAM OUT OF MY HEAD LIKE A SCREAMING KETTLE, I’M GOING TO TALK COLDSHIT TO STRANGERS ALL NIGHT… I’M GONNA LOSE THE PLOT ON THE DANCE FLOOR, THE FREE RADICALS INSIDE ME ARE FREAKING MAN. TO NIGHT I’M JIP TRAVOLTA, I’M PETER POPPER… I’M GOING TO NEVER NEVERLAND WITH MY CHOSEN FAMILY MAN, WE’RE GONNA GET MORE SPACED OUT THAN NEIL ARMSTRONG EVER DID. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN TONIGHT, THIS COULD BE THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE U KNOW! I’VE GOT 73 QUID IN MY BACK BURNER I’M GONNA WAX THE LOT MAN. THE MILKY BARS ARE ON ME YAA!
Cocktail “Beer is for breakfast around here, drink or be gone.”
“I don’t care how liberated this world becomes - a man will always be judged by the amount of alcohol he can consume - and a woman will be impressed, whether she likes it or not.”
Brian Flanagan- I see America drinking the fabulous cocktails I make. Americans getting stinky on something I stir or shake. The sex on the beach, the schnapps made from peach, the velvet hammer, the Alabama slammer. I make things with juice and froth–the pink squirrel, the three-toed sloth. I make drinks so sweet and snazzy–the iced tea, the kamikaze. The org@sm..The death spasm, the Singapore sling, the ding-aling; America, you’re just devoted to every flavor I’ve got, but if you want to get loaded, why don’t you just order a shot..Bar’s open.
Dead Poets Society “I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life… to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” Henry David Thoreau
They’re not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they’re destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see, gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? —Carpe— hear it? —Carpe, carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.
A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing.
“A-I-D-A. Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Attention - Do I have you attention? Interest - Are you interested? I know you are, because it’s fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks. Decision - Have you made your decision for Christ? And Action.”

Fight Club “It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything.
The things you own end up owning you.
We are defined by the choices we make.
If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?
I say, never be complete. I say, stop being perfect. I say, let’s evolve and let the chips fall where they may…
This is your pain.”
“God damn it, and entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables… slaves with white collars. Advertising has its taste in cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, no purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d be millionaires, movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. We’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”
Animal House “HEY! What’s all this lying’-around shit?!…NOTHING is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no! And it ain’t over now! ‘Cause when the going gets tough…(long pause)…the tough get going!…What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives - but you’re gonna let it be the WORST. (mocking) Oh, we’re afraid to go with you, Bluto. We might get in trouble. WELL, JUST KISS MY ASS FROM NOW ON! NOT ME! I’M NOT GONNA TAKE THIS! WORMER, HE’S A DEAD MAN! MARMALARD, DEAD! NIEDERMEYER…dead!…LET’S DO IT”
Any Given Sunday ”You find out life’s this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game — life or football — the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!”
The Breakfast Club “Dear Mr. Vernon…We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was that we did wrong. What we did WAS wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make us write this essay telling you who we think we are, what do you care? You see us as you want to see us…in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That’s the way we saw each other at seven o’clock this morning. We were brainwashed. Does that answer your question? Sincerely Yours, The Breakfast Club”

Great round up. I love Garden State in particular.
I don’t have the chance to view all the movies that you featured here yet. However, your very first image of words from Henry David Thoreau already blew me away!
