I'm in an overly sentimental mood today

The director says something about how they're making sure people meet their potention

Officer: And if they exceed their potential?

Director: No one exceeds their potential. It merely means that we did not accurately judge their potential in the first place.

-Gattaca

If you are quoting gattaca then you must be in a sentimental mood. I remember my english teacher bringing that movie in one day in grade nine and since I was trying to hide at the time I had a tough time hiding my tears. The scene with the game of chicken on the beach was just so inspiring and dramatic. This brings me to another quote from the film.

"You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back."

I saw it for the first time in English class too! I was grade eleven though, but that's still a neat coincidence.

That scene when they're swimming made me a little teary the first time I saw it. Very good movie, and very deep.

“And even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would we go with James Dobson's, or Al Sharpton's? Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount - a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? So before we get carried away, let's read our bibles. Folks haven't been reading their bibles.”

— Barack Obama

"Peace is the highest and most strenuous act of the soul, but an entirely harmonious act, in which all our powers and affections are blending in a beautiful proportion, and sustain and perfect one another. It is more than the silence after storms. It is as the concord of all melodious sounds ... an alliance of love with all beings, a sympathy with all that is pure and happy, a surrender of every separate will and interest, a participation of the spirit and life of the universe.... This is peace, and the true happiness of humanity."

- William Ellery Channing

Statesman, orator, and overgrown teenager.

Churchill? When did I bring him up? And by the way, the woman that he was addressing in your quote was Lady Astor, and they enjoyed a life long feud.

Here's one:

"Well, you know or don't you kennet or haven't I told you, every telling is a taling, and that's the he and the she of it."

Finnegans Wake

[Guest Elena]

Ok, from my oldest daughter when she was 6 to her cousin who was complaining about a present she got for her birthday.

"You get what you get, whining won't help."

And from one of the lawyers my mom used to work with when he took me out to lunch on my 13th birthday. Said this to my mom on the way out of the office...

"I could take him to a whorehouse, you know a lot of cultures consider 13 a man. Then again, I doubt they would hire him..."

Then later at lunch. Right as the waitress walked up to take our order.

"So how about going to Fredericks of Hollywood, you can try some stuff on. I can flirt with the ladies until I get sexually arroused and have to go home and jump my wife. I'll even buy you anything you like."

Gee, you think he had me figured out?

Another one from the same lawyer.

"Only idiots don't wear a seat belt, I don't let idiots stay in my car. Usually I push them out at 60 miles per hour."

And another. This one at a trial...

"Okay, so you have proved my clients personal habits are disgusting. (Expletive), I told him all that when I took the case. Do you actually have any evidence that he did anything wrong?"

Yes, he actually said that in open court, and paid $250 for contempt... Won the case too. D_____ had absolutely no tact. Great fun though.

From Miss Geraldine Johnson (for those of you old enough to remember Flip Wilson), "If you can fly 3,000 miles in the dark and find LA, you can find my bags!"

Will Rogers, " I never met a man I didn't like." (Always thought that was Mae West.)

Another of my favorite quotes, "Love ya, Sally"

Friends are like potatoes, if you eat them they die.

If you have to make a tough decision, flip a coin. Not because it decides for you, but because in that split second the coin is in the air you realize which choice you're hoping for.

Your opinion becomes invalid as soon as it dehumanizes another person.

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.
