Mona Lisa Smile  - Quotes

 Betty Warren:
Dear Betty, I came to Wellesley because I wanted to make a difference. But to change for others is to lie to yourself. My teacher, Katherine Watson, lived by her own definition and would not compromise that, not even for Wellesley. I dedicate this, my last editorial, to an extraordinary woman, who lived by example and compelled us all to see the world through new eyes. By the time you read this, she'll be sailing to Europe, where I know she'll find new walls to break down, and new ideas to replace them with. [snapshot]
Betty Warren:
I've heard her called a quitter for leaving and aimless wanderer. But not all who wander are aimless, especially those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image. I'll never forget you.

The Last Castle  - Quotes

 Irwin:
[Winter is trying to compromise with Irwin] No. Not OK! It's too late, Colonel.
Winter:
Too late for what?
Irwin:
For your offer. The men don't want to salute. They don't want to use rank. They don't want better food and they don't want more TV. They just want your resignation... and so do I.
Winter:
My resignation?
Irwin:
You're a disgrace, Colonel! A disgrace to the uniform! You should not be allowed to retain your command!
Winter:
Then I guess I'd better go pack.
Irwin:
I think you should.
Winter:
Tell me, Mr. Irwin. What's to stop me from simply placing you in the HOLE for say six months?
Irwin:
Nothing. If that's the way you want to win.

Dreams with Sharp Teeth  - Quotes

 Ronald D. Moore:
Television is a lot of compromise, especially running a show over the course of a season. It's about managing compromise and picking battles. "I'm going to fight for this and I'll let that go." And I don't know that that's in Harlan's makeup... I think he fights all the battles, because I think he thinks all the battles are worth fighting. "Sure, you could compromise on that, but then it's gonna suck."
