Death in Venice (1971)

- Yes.
- What use are they? Genius is a divine gift. No, no: a divine affliction. A sinful, morbid flash fire of natural gifts.

- And you are wrong! Evil is a necessity. It is the food of genius."

Si nous sommes deux personnes comme les autres, quelle sera la durĂ©e de notre amour? Il nây a pas dâamour Ă©ternel, mĂȘme dans les livres, il nây en a pas. Donc sâaimer, câest sâaimer pour un certain temps. Il nây aura pas de miracle pour nous. Nous ne sommes pas plus forts que les autres."

"QuĂ© es un fantasma? Un evento terrible condenado a repetirse una y otra vez. Un instante de dolor, quizĂĄ. Algo muerto que parece por momentos vivo aĂșn. Un sentimiento suspendido en el tiempo, como una fotografĂa borrosa. Como un insecto atrapado en ĂĄmbar."
"Qué lisonja de la pena el no poder ocultarse. Salgan signos a la boca, de lo que en el corazón arde, que nadie crea el incendio si el humo no da señales.

Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
"- It was an accident.
- What, like he tripped and you fell?"
" The unlucky are nothing more than a frame of reference for the lucky. You are unlucky, so I may know that I am not. Unfortunately the lucky never realizes they are lucky until it's too late.

People are never happy with what they have. They want what they had, or what someone else has."
"- How do you justify being a rabbi... and a gangster?
- I don't. I'm a bad man who doesn't waste time wondering what could've been when I am what could've been and what could not have been. I live on both sides of the fence. My grass is always green."

"La primera ventaja es que cuando el cuento llega al final no se acaba sino que se cae por un agujero y el cuento reaparece en mitad del cuento. La segunda ventaja, y la mĂĄs grande, que desde aquĂ se le puede cambiar el rumbo. Si tu me dejas, si me das tiempo."

- Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!"
"Only a fool would look for logic in the chambers of the human heart."

Religulous (2008)
"- Come on, believe in Jesus. What do you have to lose?
- It's like the lotto. You can't get saved if you don't play."
"Yeah, you could be right. I don't think it's very likely, but yes, you could be right. Because my big thing is i don't know. That's what I preach. I preach the gospel of 'I don't know'. That's what I'm here promoting - doubt. That's my product. The other guys are selling certainty, but not me. I'm on the corner with doubt."
"This is the very spot a lot of christians believe life on earth will end. The irony of religion is that because of its power to divert men to destructive courses, the world actually could come to an end.
The plain fact is religion must die for menkind to live. The hour is getting very late to be able to indulge in having key decisions made by religious people - by irrationalists - by those who would steer the ship of state, not by a compass, but by the equivalent of reading the entrails of a chicken.
Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It's nothing to brag about. And those who preach faith, and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders, keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction. Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don't have all the answers to think that they do. Most people would think it's wonderful when someone says, "I'm willing, Lord! I'll do whatever you want me to do!" Except that since there are no gods actually talking to us, that void is filled in by people with their own corruptions and limitations and agendas. And anyone who tells you they know, they just know what happens when you die, I promise you, you don't. How can I be so sure? Because I don't know, and you do not possess mental powers that I do not. The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt. Doubt is humble, and that's what man needs to be, considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong. This is why rational people, anti-religionists, must end their timidity and come out of the closet and assert themselves. And those who consider themselves only moderately religious really need to look in the mirror and realize that the solace and comfort that religion brings you actually comes at a terrible price. If you belonged to a political party or a social club that was tied to as much bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, violence, and sheer ignorance as religion is, you'd resign in protest. To do otherwise is to be an enabler, a mafia wife, for the true devils of extremism that draw their legitimacy from the billions of their fellow travelers. If the world does come to an end here, or wherever, or if it limps into the future, decimated by the effects of religion-inspired nuclear terrorism, let's remember what the real problem was that we learned how to precipitate mass death before we got past the neurological disorder of wishing for it. That's it. Grow up or die."

Amazing Grace (2007)
"It seems to me that if there's a bad taste in your mouth, you spit it out. You don't constantly swallow it back."

"- How tall are you, private?

"What do I think about America's envolvement in the war? Well, I think we should win."
"I hate Vietnam. There's not one horse in this whole country. There's not one horse in Vietnam. There's something basically wrong with that."

"Ri-te e o mundo ri-se contigo. Chora e corarĂĄs sozinho."

Mr. Nobody (2009)
"Everything he sees exists. We can see it. I can see mummy's eyes, but I can't see my eyes. That little baby can see his hands, but he cannot see himself. So, does he really exist? Do I really exist?"
"If you mix the mashed potatoes and the sauce, you can't separate them later. It's forever. The smoke comes out of daddy's cigarrette, but it never goes back in. We cannot go back. That's why it's hard to choose. You have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible."
"- I wish everything would stop right now and things would stay this way forever.
- They say that if you slow your breathing, time slows down."

2 Days in Paris (2007)
"- All the sparrows in the garden have been scared off by Jean-Luc.
- Of course. He'd gobble them up.
- You think so? But he's so sweet.
- Are you kidding? It's only because we're bigger and we feed him that he doesn't eat us alive.
- You're so negative!
- Hasn't he put on weight?
- I had some cans of foie gras getting past their sell-by date...
- You fed him foie gras? You know he only eats dry cat food. I've had him ten years and that's all he eats. Fat is bad for animals! He's enormous! He's like dad! You get your hands on someone and turn them into a fat lump. They won't let me keep him with me in the cabin. That's why I have to keep him under 5 kilos. They'll put him in the luggage compartment, drug him and...lots of animals die during the flight.
- How can you say that? I've taken care of him for two weeks.
- I love this cat but your dad hates him, he calls him "eat-shit-sleep"."
"- Got enough, dad? Is that your diet?
- Rabbit is lean meat.
- But look how much you're eating!
- And look at your fat ass!
(...)
- I've got a fat ass because I stopped smoking 18 months ago."
"- By the way, i'll be in your apartment for a couple of days. Marion invited me.
- We got only one bedroom and a really small one.
- I'll bring foie gras. I feel that I'm your brother and what's mine is yours.
- Does that mean that what's mine is yours?
- If you want to give, i'll take it.
- Really? This applies for everything. Let me just explain something to you: i'm american, right? And, in America, what's mine is mine. My first religion is "private property". Don't trespass, don't touch my shit. Or I'll kill you."
- Of course. He'd gobble them up.

"Taking credit when things go right doesn't work the other way. When things go wrong spreading the blame is an essential medic survival tool: «The elevator broke down», «The boyfriend was crazy», «I Should've called in sick», «The tube wouldn't go in»."
"It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is. I don't suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that's something that's very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless he's sure. We nine can't understand how you three are still so sure. Maybe you can tell us."
A Single Man (2009)
"Waking up begins with saying «i'm» and «now». For the past 8 months, waking up has actually hurt. The cold realization that i'm still here slowly sets in. I was never terribly fond of waking up. I was never one to jump out of the bed and greet the day with a smile like Jim was. I used to want to punch him sometimes in the morning, he was so happy. I always used to tell him that only fools greet the day with a smile. That only fools can possibly escape the simple truth that «now» isn't simply «now». It's a cold reminder. One day later than yesterday. One year later than last year. And that sooner or later, it will come. He used to laugh at me and then give me a kiss on the cheek. It takes time in the morning for me to become George. Time to adjust to what is expected of George and how he is to behave. By the time I'm dressed, i put the final layer of polish on the now slightely stiff, but quite perfect George, I know fully what part I'm supposed to play. Looking in the mirror, starring back at me, isn't so much as a face as the expression of predicament.
- Just get through the goddamn day.
A bit melodramatic, i guess. But then again, my heart has been broken. I feel as if I'm sinking. Drowning. Can't breathe."
"- Sir, on page 79, Mr. Propter says that the stupidest text in the Bible is «they hated me without a cause». Does that mean the nazis were right to hate de Jews? Is Huxley an anti-semi?
- No. No, Mr. Huxley is not an anti-semi. Of course the nazis were wrong to hate de Jews, but their hate for the Jews was not without a cause. It's just that the cause wasn't real. The cause was imaginary. The cause was fear. Let's leave the Jews out of this for a moment. Let's think of another minority. One that can go unnoticed, if it needs to. There are all sorts of minorities. Blondes, for example. People with frekles. A minority is only thought of as one if it constitutes some kind of threat to the majority. A real threat or an imagined one. And there in lies the fear. And if that minority is, somehow, invisible, then the fear is much greater. And 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. I can see I've lost you a bit. So, let me tell you what. We're gonna forget about Mr.Huxley today. And we're gonna talk about fear. Fear, afterall, is our real enemy. Fear is taking over our world. Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society. It's how politicians peddle policy. It's how Madison Avenue sells you things you don't need. Think about it. The fear of being attacked. The fear that there are comunists looking around every corner. The fear that some little Caribean country that doesn't believe in our way of life poses a threat to us. The fear that black culture may take over the world. The fear of Elvis Presley's hips. Actually, maybe that one is a real fear. Fear that our bad breath may ruin our friendships. The fear of growing old. Of being alone. The fear that we're useless. That no one cares what we have to say."
"- Fear of things gets me all the time. You can't talk about it without anyone, or you just sound like a fool.
- You can't talk about it with Louis?
- I don't think she's affraid of anything.
- Everyone's affraid of something, Kenny.
- What are you affraid of, Sir?
- Cars.
- How can you live in Los Angeles and be affraid of cars?
- Maybe you can't.
- Sometimes, my fear of things can almost paralise me. It's like i get really panic stricted and I feel like I might explode or something."
"- Christopher, would you like it if I killed you?
- I don't know.
- But if you keep this up, you get to find out. So, why don't you go home and stop shooting people?"
"- Charlie, there is nothing wrong with your life. You just like feeling sorry for yourself. It's one of your great pleasures."
- Just get through the goddamn day.

- No. No, Mr. Huxley is not an anti-semi. Of course the nazis were wrong to hate de Jews, but their hate for the Jews was not without a cause. It's just that the cause wasn't real. The cause was imaginary. The cause was fear. Let's leave the Jews out of this for a moment. Let's think of another minority. One that can go unnoticed, if it needs to. There are all sorts of minorities. Blondes, for example. People with frekles. A minority is only thought of as one if it constitutes some kind of threat to the majority. A real threat or an imagined one. And there in lies the fear. And if that minority is, somehow, invisible, then the fear is much greater. And 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. I can see I've lost you a bit. So, let me tell you what. We're gonna forget about Mr.Huxley today. And we're gonna talk about fear. Fear, afterall, is our real enemy. Fear is taking over our world. Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society. It's how politicians peddle policy. It's how Madison Avenue sells you things you don't need. Think about it. The fear of being attacked. The fear that there are comunists looking around every corner. The fear that some little Caribean country that doesn't believe in our way of life poses a threat to us. The fear that black culture may take over the world. The fear of Elvis Presley's hips. Actually, maybe that one is a real fear. Fear that our bad breath may ruin our friendships. The fear of growing old. Of being alone. The fear that we're useless. That no one cares what we have to say."
"- Fear of things gets me all the time. You can't talk about it without anyone, or you just sound like a fool.
- You can't talk about it with Louis?
- I don't think she's affraid of anything.
- Everyone's affraid of something, Kenny.
- What are you affraid of, Sir?
- Cars.
- How can you live in Los Angeles and be affraid of cars?
- Maybe you can't.
- Sometimes, my fear of things can almost paralise me. It's like i get really panic stricted and I feel like I might explode or something."
"- Christopher, would you like it if I killed you?
- I don't know.
- But if you keep this up, you get to find out. So, why don't you go home and stop shooting people?"
"- Charlie, there is nothing wrong with your life. You just like feeling sorry for yourself. It's one of your great pleasures."

Prozac Nation (2003)
"- I just keep thinking that if I could just be normal, if I could just get out of bed in the morning, everything would be okay.
- Well, what do you think normal is?
- Most people, you know, they cut themselves, they put a band-aid on, they keep going.
- And what do you do?
- I just keep bleeding."
"I need someone to shut off my brain and turn on my heart."
"Sometimes it feels like we're all living in a Prozac nation. The United States of Depression."
