“I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both.” Gump

I want the truth.

JESSEP
You can't handle the truth!



Son, we live in a world that has
walls. And those walls have to be
guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna
do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I
have a greater responsibility than
you can possibly fathom. You weep
for Santiago and you curse the
marines. You have that luxury. You
have the luxury of not knowing what
I know: That Santiago's death, while
tragic, probably saved lives. And my
existence, while grotesque and
incomprehensible to you, saves lives.

You don't want the truth. Because
deep down, in places you don't talk
about at parties, you want me on
that wall. You need me there.

We use words like honor, code,
loyalty... we use these words as the
backbone to a life spent defending
something. You use 'em as a punchline.

I have neither the time nor the
inclination to explain myself to a
man who rises and sleeps under the
blanket of the very freedom I provide,
then questions the manner in which I
provide it. I'd prefer you just said
thank you and went on your way.
Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a
weapon and stand a post. Either way,
I don't give a damn what you think
you're entitled to.

I spent a lot of my early years, without the benefit of a father, having to learn a lot of life’s lessons through the seat of my britches. Thank goodness for grandparents and Sunday School. The Duke’s line from The Shootist is sort of attached to the Golden Rule, only I can interpret it as “I won’t do to others what I don’t won’t them to do to me.” I had to learn the hard way that though kindness is an important trait, it can lend itself to exploitation. That’s where a man learns to draw the line in the sand lest he be constantly taken advantage of.

Ralph: "Who would date Marlene?"
Spike: (to Richie)"Hey. What about your sister?"
Richie: "She's only 12!"
Spike: "Yeah, but she's built like she's 13."

I always thought the quote was from a bad teen movie. But son of a gun it's from Happy Days.

In my opinion there are a lot of Eastwood movies with great quotes, Taratino movies... hard to pick just one.

Unforgiven has two great ones:
