G.I. Jane  - Quotes

 C.O. Salem:
Welcome to SEAL/C.R.T. selection program. You have volunteered for the most intensive military training known to man. You are all proven operators within the SpecOps communtiy: SEALs, EOD, Army Delta, Marine Force Recon, Naval Intel community, and so on. In spite of your expertise, many of you will not successfully negotiate this program. Those that do, will experience an operational tempo that exceeds that of any other unit within the US arsenal. That is all that is to be said about the special nature of the CRT training program. I now turn you over to my Command Master Chief, John James Urgayle.

Angels in America  - Quotes

 Harper:
In your experience of the world. How do people change?
Mormon Mother:
Well it has something to do with God so it's not very nice. God splits the skin with a jagged thumbnail from throat to belly and then plunges a huge filthy hand in, he grabs hold of your bloody tubes and they slip to evade his grasp but he squeezes hard, he insists, he pulls and pulls till all your innards are yanked out and the pain! We can't even talk about that. And then he stuffs them back, dirty, tangled and torn. It's up to you to do the stitching.
Harper:
And then up you get. And walk around.
Mormon Mother:
Just mangled guts pretending.
Mormon Mother:
That's how people change.

Angels in America  - Quotes

 Harper Pitt:
I don't understand this. If I didn't ever see you before, and I don't think I did, then I don't think you should be here in this hallucination because in my experience the mind which is where hallucinations come from shouldn't be able to make anything up that wasn't there to start with that didn't enter it from experience from the real world. Imagination can't create anything new can it? It only recycles bits and pieces from the world and reassembles them into visions. Am I making sense right now?
Prior Walter:
Given the circumstances, yes.
Harper Pitt:
So when we think we've escaped the unbearable ordinariness and, well, untruthfulness of our lives it's really only the same old ordinariness and falseness rearranged into the appearance of novelty and truth. Nothing unknown is knowable.

Britney Spears  - Quotes

 [about her breakup with boyfriend Justin Timberlake] The most painful thing I have ever experienced was that breakup. We were together so long and I had this vision. You think you're going to spend the rest of your life together. Where I come from, the woman is the homemaker, and that's how I was brought up -- you cook for your kids.

Pieces of April  - Quotes

 Joy Burns:

 Osbourne Cox:
If you ever carried out your proposed threat you would experience such a shitstorm of consequences my friend your empty little head would be spinning faster than the wheels of your Schwinn bicycle back there.

Bicentennial Man  - Quotes

 Rupert Burns:
What do they say?
Andrew Martin:
That you can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries. All time. That two bodies can become so mixed up, that you don't know who's who or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you're gonna die... you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. That's a miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. You can go back anytime you want with the one you love.
Rupert Burns:
And you want to experience that?
Andrew Martin:
Oh, yes, please.
Rupert Burns:
So do I.

Julius Caesar  - Quotes

 
[Brutus is reading]
Caesar:
Let me see... Plato's laws? Do you read this?
Marcus Brutus:
Yes.
Caesar:
And, what did you think of it?
Marcus Brutus:
Well Plato thinks that democracy is doomed to failure; he thinks that a state should be run by a dictator, a dictator who's become enlightened through experience and learning.
Caesar:
I don't think that your Plato would get on with your Uncle Cato.
 

Cinerama Adventure  - Quotes

 
[first lines]
Narrator:
Many of us experience childhood memories, that on occasion, rush into our consciousness. A memory that has invaded my mind on numerous occasions was when I was only six years old, and my parents took me and my sister on a special trip to St. Louis, Missouri. On the last day of this visit, we arrived at a very large ornate old movie theatre. It was as if we'd walked into a sultan's palace out of the "Arabian Nights." It was the Ambassador Theatre, and it was specially set up for a new kind of motion picture event.
 

Dara Torres  - Quotes

 I've wanted to win at everything, every day, since I was a kid. And time doesn't change a person, it just helps you get a handle on who you are. Even at age 41, I still hate losing--I'm just more gracious about it. I'm also aware that setbacks have an upside; they fuel new dreams.

Orson F. Whitney  - Quotes

 No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God . . . and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.

Kafka  - Quotes

 Franz Kafka:
So, that's who the enemy is. Policemen and file clerks. Law and order, you might say.
Gabriela:
You think what we're doing is wrong? What would you suggest, then?
Franz Kafka:
Did any of you actually go up to the castle with Edward? You sit around twisting the facts to suit your inbred theories. In my experience the truth is not... that convenient.
 

Mindwarp  - Quotes

 Infinisynth Announcer:
[atomic explosion] Stupidity, chaos, cruelty, pain. Reality, a failure worse than any nightmare. There was no fixing it. Nothing to be done, except... escape. Infinisynth: more fantastic than fantasy, more real than reality. The ultimate experience is Infinisynth. It's all been remade for you and it's anything you want it to be. It's your reality. Let your dreams come true in your very own world. Hook into the happiness system. Relax, imagine, enjoy. Hook in.
Judy:
Bullshit.
 

Saw IV  - Quotes

 Jigsaw:
Hello Officer Rigg, What have you learned thus far? Experience is a harsh teacher. First comes the test, second comes the lesson. If you want to SAVE AS I SAVE then you will see that the person before you is but a student... so I ask you officer Rigg. Has the pupil learned her lesson? Has she been told the error of her ways? Does she now view the world differently? Officer Rigg, the key to this persons freedom lies in the palm of your hand... but only if she has done her own part. Can you play your role in her salvation? Once judgement has been made though, the key to finding your next destination is just off the map.

Puzzlehead  - Quotes

 Puzzlehead:
[seeing a homeless man] Sleep was interesting to me. It seemed like such a peaceful activity. I don't have to sleep, but I had read that people experience dreams when they sleep. Dreams are like thoughts without the boundaries of reality. In them you act out unconscious and buried desires. I wish I could have them.

Dara Torres  - Quotes

 ...I'd proven to the world that maturity, experience, dedication, and ingenuity can make up for a little senescence. Muscle tightening is not the only thing that happens to our bodies over time. We gain knowledge, focus, and understanding, and those things can help us win.

Without a Trace  - Quotes

 
[a drop off has turned into a hostage situation, in which Sam is one of the hostages]
Paula Van Doren:
What the hell happened, Jack?
Jack Malone:
We had a drop go bad. There's a suspect across the street in a bookstore. He's holding about a half a dozen hostages.
Paula Van Doren:
And Special Agent Spade is one of these hostages?
Jack Malone:
Yes.
Paula Van Doren:
Mm-hmm. Have you achieved contact with the suspect?
Jack Malone:
[sighs] Not yet.
Paula Van Doren:
Then Drummond should step in and be the negotiator on this.
Jack Malone:
With all due respect to you and Drummond, I am knee-deep in this. I have background on the suspect. I know a lot about the person he kidnapped. I have tons of experience in hostage negotiation, not to mention the fact that there's one of my agents in that bookstore.
Paula Van Doren:
Which is what makes me doubt whether or not you have proper objectivity - particularly because it's... this agent, Jack. [Martin looks over and appears to be eavesdropping]
Jack Malone:
[lowers his voice] Which is exactly why I should do it. Because if she tries to communicate something to me covertly, I am the best one to interpret it. I know her. Drummond doesn't.

The Matrix Reloaded  - Quotes

 The Architect:
It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were, by design, based on a similar predication: a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the One. While the others experienced this in a general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-à-vis: love.
Neo:
Trinity. [the monitors show images of Trinity]
The Architect:
Apropos, she entered the Matrix to save your life at the cost of her own.
Neo:
No...
The Architect:
Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the Anomaly revealed as both beginning... and end.
