Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump
"Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
"I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is."
"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road, and when I got there I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just
run across Greenbow County. Now, thinking since I'd run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did.
I ran clear across Alabama. No particular reason.
I just kept on going. [...] I'd think a lot about Mama
and Bubba and Lieutenant Dan. But most of all, I thought about Jenny. I thought about her a lot."

K-PAX (2001)
Kevin Spacey as Prot
"I am from K-PAX"
"K-PAX is about 1 ,000 of your light-years away from here... in what you would call Your constellation Lyra (...) K-PAX is most lovely when K-MON and K-RIL are in conjunction. Those are our two suns. What you would call Agape and Satori (...)
On K-PAX, we don't have families (...) On K-PAX, children are not raised by their biological parents, but by everyone. They circulate among us, learning from one and then another (...) We do not have marriage on K-PAX. There are no wives. There are no husbands. There are no families."

Donnie Darko (2001)
Jake Gyllenhaal as Donnie Darko
"She said that every living creature on Earth dies alone (...) It reminded me of my dog, Callie. She died when I was eight, and she crawled underneath... the porch. - To die? - To be alone. - Do you feel
alone right now? - I don't know. I'd like to believe I'm not, but I just... I've just never seen any proof, so I... I just don't debate it anymore, you know? It's like I could spend my whole life debating it over and over again, weighing the pros and cons, and in the end, I still wouldn't have any proof. So I just... I just don't debate it any more. It's absurd. - The search for God is absurd? - It is if everyone dies alone. - Does that scare you?
- I don't want to be alone."

Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands
"And once there was even a man who had scissors for hands (...) A long time ago... an inventor lived in that mansion. He made many things,
I suppose. He also created a man. He gave him insides, a heart, a brain, everything. Well, almost everything. You see, the inventor was very old. He died before he got to finish the man he invented. So the man was left by himself... incomplete and all alone (...) His name was Edward."

Frankenstein (1994)
Robert De Niro as Creature
"And as I killed him, I saw your face. You gave me these emotions. But you didn't tell me how to use them. (...) There's something at work in my soul which I do not understand. What of my soul? Do I have one? Or was that a part you left out? Who were these people of which I am comprised? Good people? Bad people? (...) Do you know I knew how to play this? In which part of me did this knowledge reside? In these hands? In this mind? In this heart? And reading and speaking... Not things learned, so much as things remembered (...) Did you ever consider the consequences of your actions? You gave me life, and then you left me to die. Who am I? - You... I don't know. - And you think "I'm" evil (...) There is something I want. A friend (...) Companion. A female. Someone like me. So she won't hate me (...) I do know that for the sympathy of one living being. I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine. And rage, the likes of which you would not believe."

Natalie Portman as Nina Sayers
"I had the craziest dream last night. I was dancing the White Swan."
"Virginal girl, pure and sweet, trapped in the body of a swan. She desires freedom that only true love can break the spell. Her wish is nearly granted in the form of a Prince. But before he can declare his love, The lustful twin, the Black Swan, tricks and seduces him. Devastated, the White Swan leaps off a cliff, killing herself. And in death... finds freedom."
"In four years, every time you dance, I see obsess getting each and every move perfectly right, but I never see you lose yourself. Ever. All that discipline for what? (...) - I want to be perfect. - Perfection is not just about control. It's also about letting go. Surprise yourself so you can surprise the audience. Transcendence."
"The only person standing in your way is you. It's time to let it go. Lose yourself."
"I felt it (...) I felt perfect. I was perfect."

One Hour Photo (2002) (2002)
Robin Williams as Seymour 'Sy' Parrish
"Family photos depict smiling faces. Births, weddings, holidays... children 's birthday parties. People take pictures of the happy moments in their lives. Someone looking through our photo album... would conclude that we had led a joyous, leisurely existence... free of tragedy. No one ever takes a photograph of something they want to forget."
"I've been doing P. O.S. Mini-lab work for over 20 years now. I consider it an important job. When houses are on fire... what's the first thing people save after their pets and loved ones? The family photos. Some people think this is a job for a clerk. They actually believe that any idiot attending a two-day seminar... can master the art of making beautiful prints in less than an hour. But of course, like most things... there's far more to it than meets the eye. I've seen the prints they fob off on people at the Rexall or Fotek. Milky, washed-out prints. Too dark prints. There's no sense of reverence for the service they're providing people. I process these photos as if they were my own."
"I'm sure my customers never think about it... but these snapshots are their little stands against the flow of time. The shutter is clicked... the flash goes off... and they've stopped time... if just for the blink of an eye. And if these pictures have anything to say to future generations... it's this: "I was here. I existed. I was young. I was happy... and someone cared enough about me in this world... to take my picture. " (...) Most people don 't take snapshots of the little things: The used Band-Aid... the guy at the gas station... the wasp on the Jell-O. But these are the things that make up the true picture of our lives. People don 't take pictures of these things."

A Beautiful Mind (2001)
Russell Crowe as John Forbes Nash Jr.
"I've always believed in numbers. In the equations and logics... that lead to reason. But after a lifetime of such pursuits, I ask, what truly is logic? Who decides reason? My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional... and back. And I have made the most important discovery of my career. The most important discovery of my life. It is only in the mysterious equations of love... that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the reason
I am. You are all my reasons."
"I am crazy. I take the newer medications, but I still see things that are not here. I just choose not to acknowledge them. Like a diet of the mind, I choose not to indulge certain appetites. Like my appetite for patterns.Perhaps my appetite to imagine and to dream."

The Green Mile (1999)
Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey
"I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world... every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head... all the time."

V for Vendetta (2006)
Hugo Weaving as V
"Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot"
"Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than 400 years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest that you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot."
"In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous"

How shall I put it? This ability. This ability to know things... to talk to each other without talking at all, just mind-to-mind (...)

Andy Dufresne - Mozart
"Andy got two weeks in the hole for that little stunt (...) - Was it worth two weeks? - Easiest time I ever did. - No such thing as easy time in the hole. - A week in the hole is like a year (...) - I had Mr. Mozart to keep me company (...) It was in here. In here. That's the beauty of music. They... can't get that from you. Haven't you ever felt that way about music? - Well, I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it, though. Didn't make much sense in here. - Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget (...) Forget that there are... places... in the world that aren't made out of stone. There's something... inside... that they can't get to... that they can't touch. That's yours. - What are you talking about? - Hope."
Andy Dufresne about hope
"My wife used to say I'm a hard man to know. Like a closed book. Complained about it all the time. She was beautiful. God, I loved her. I didn't know how to show it, that's all. I killed her, Red. I didn't pull the trigger... but I drove her away. That's why she died, because of me... the way I am. - That don't make you a murderer. Bad husband, maybe. Feel bad about it if you want, but you didn't pull the trigger. - No, I didn't. Somebody else did. And I wound up in here. Bad luck, I guess. It floats around. It's got to land on somebody. It was my turn, that's all. I was in the path of the tornado. I just didn't expect the storm
would last as long as it has."
“I tell you where I'd go. Zihuatanejo (…) A little place on the Pacific Ocean (…) That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory. Open up a little hotel... right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat... and fix it up new. Take my guests out... charter fishing (…) I didn't shoot my wife, and I didn't shoot her lover. Whatever mistakes I made, I've paid for them and then some. That hotel, that boat... I don't think that's too much to ask (…) It's down there and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice. Get busy living... or get busy dying.”
"...hope is a good thing... maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."

Feel bad about it if you want, but you didn't pull the trigger. - No, I didn't. Somebody else did. And I wound up in here. Bad luck, I guess. It floats around. It's got to land on somebody. It was my turn, that's all. I was in the path of the tornado. I just didn't expect the storm
would last as long as it has."
“I tell you where I'd go. Zihuatanejo (…) A little place on the Pacific Ocean (…) That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory. Open up a little hotel... right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat... and fix it up new. Take my guests out... charter fishing (…) I didn't shoot my wife, and I didn't shoot her lover. Whatever mistakes I made, I've paid for them and then some. That hotel, that boat... I don't think that's too much to ask (…) It's down there and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice. Get busy living... or get busy dying.”
"...hope is a good thing... maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."

Mystic River (2003)
Tim Robbins as Dave Boyle
“ Me, Jimmy and a kid named Boyle were playing in front of my house. This car came up and took Dave away (…) guys pretending to be cops. Convinced Dave to get in the car, kept him for four days before he escaped.”
“Know what I was thinking about ? Vampires (…) They're undead... but I think maybe there's something beautiful about it. Maybe one day you wake up and you forget what it's like... to be human. Maybe then it's okay (…) You think I killed Katie? Celeste (…) You've barely looked at me since you found out Katie was dead. In fact, you seem repulsed by me (…) I come home with blood on me the same night Katie's murdered. I must have killed her, right? (…) Henry and George. I never told anyone that before. Those were their names. Isn't that fucking hilarious? At least that's what they called themselves, but... they were wolves, and Dave... was the boy who escaped from wolves. (…) They took me on a four-day ride. They buried me in this ratty old cellar with a sleeping bag. And, man, Celeste... did they have their fun. And no one came to help old Dave then. Dave had to pretend to be somebody else (…) Dave's dead. I don't know who came out of that cellar, but it sure as shit wasn't Dave! You see, honey... Fuck! It's like vampires. Once it's in you... it stays (…) Did you know there were child prostitutes in Rome Basin? (…) I can't trust my mind anymore, Celeste. I'm warning you... I can't trust my mind.”
“ You think I killed Katie, don't you? (…) I killed someone, but I didn't kill Katie (…) He was a child molester. He was having sex with a kid in his car. He was a fucking wolf. He was a vampire!”
“It's like I said, Dave. This part, you do alone.”
“The last time I saw Dave. Dave Boyle. That was 25 years ago, going up this street in the back of that car (…) Sometimes I think... I think all three of us got in that car. And all of this is just a dream (…) In reality... we're still 11-year-old boys locked in a cellar... imagining what our lives would have been if we'd escaped.”

Lilo & Stitch (2002)
Chris Sanders as Stitch
"Is the first of a new species. I call it Experiment 6-2-6. He is bulletproof, fireproof and can think faster
than supercomputer. He can see in the dark and move objects 3,000 times his size. His only instinct: To destroy everything he touches!"
"Now, this is interesting (...) 6-2-6 was designed to be a monster but now he has nothing to destroy. You see, I never gave him a greater purpose. What must it be like to have nothing... not even memories to visit in the middle of the night?"
"That's the Ugly Duckling. See? He's sad because he's all alone and nobody wants him but on this page, his family hears him crying and they find him. Then the Ugly Duckling is happy because he knows where he belongs."
"What happened to yours? /parents/ I hear you cry at night. Do you dream about them? I know that's why you wreck things and push me. Our family's little now and we don't have many toys but if you want, you could be part of it. You could be our baby and we'd raise you to be good. "O'hana" means family. "Family" means nobody gets left behind but if you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you, though. I remember everyone that leaves (...) - I... I... Lost. I'm lost."
"This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's little and broken... but still good."

Christian Bale as Trevor Reznik
“How you doing, Reznik? (…) Frankly, I'm concerned about you. To be honest, I think you look like toasted shit. - I've had a lot on my mind lately.”
“I just want to lie here (…) I'm so tired. - You could fall asleep if you want. Off the meter. - That's the problem. I can't sleep. Nothing helps (…) I haven't slept in a year.”
“I want to report a hit-and-run (…) - Mr. Reznik? Are you sure about these plate numbers? (…) Have you ever had a car stolen? - No. Why? Because the car that allegedly hit you was your own. 1965 Red Pontiac Firebird. Registered in your name. Nearly a year ago you reported it as being totaled in a wreck. Do you realize it's a felony to file a bogus police report?”
“I was crossing the street. The light changed on me (…) It was my fault.
I wasn't paying attention (…) - Don't you trust anyone? - I trust you.
- Now I know you're crazy (…) What's going on in that crazy head of yours? - I really want this to work, Stevie (…) You know so little about me. What if I turn into a werewolf or something? - I'll buy you a flea collar.”
“You fucking freak! Now I know why you're so afraid of doctors! 'Cuz you're a fucking psycho!”
“I'd like to report a hit-and-run. - We're still gonna need to get your statement. - Later. I just want to sleep. I just want to sleep.”

Hellboy (2004)
Ron Perlman as Hellboy
“What is it that makes a man a man? Is it his origins, the way things start? Or is it something else, something harder to describe?”
“The portal's been open for too long. Something may have come through.(…) -What the hell is that? An ape? -No. lt was red. Bright red (…) - It's not an ape. lt's got a big stone in its hand. l think that is its hand. Look at the size of that whammer (…) - lt's a boy. lt's just a baby boy (…) There we were, an unready father for an unwanted child. The boys gave him a name that very night. In retrospect , perhaps not the most fortunate. But nevertheless, a name we all came to use. We called him Hellboy.”
“- Come back, Liz. Come back. -No. No, H.B. No, not this time. l don't like it here... but l haven't had an episode in months. And you know what? l'm learning to control it. l'm learning where it comes from. For the first time in my life... l'm not afraid (…) Listen, H.B... l've got a chance out here. So if you really care about me... you won't come back.”
“l have something to say. l understand what you don't like about me. l do. What l am... makes you feel a little out of place... out there (…) l'm not like Myers. He makes you feel like you belong... which is good, really. l wish l could do something about this. l can't. l can promise you two things: One, l'll always look this good. And two... l'll never give up on you. Ever.”
“ln the dark... l heard your voice. What did you say? - l said, '' Hey... you on the other side... let her go. Because For her l'll cross over. And then you'll be sorry."
“What makes a man a man? (…) Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? I don't think so. It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things... but how he decides to end them.”

I'm having trouble giving my list a title and sometimes words are not enough to convey my thoughts. Living by their own ideology, following their own dreams and desires might be strange to others and not easily understandable to the so-called average human. My list follows these characters how they are different from the others and how outside of the bubble they really are.
