- Airport - When Harry Met Sally
You take someone to the airport, it's clearly the beginning of a relationship. That's why I have never taken anyone to the airport at the beginning of a relationship. Because eventually things move on and you don't take someone to the airport and I never wanted anyone to say to me, "How come you don't take me to the airport anymore?"
Winston Churchill
- In Favor of Free Speech
Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like. But, if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.
Spongebob Squarepants
- Krusty Krab Hiring
There it is. The finest eating establishment ever established for eating. The Krusty Krab, home of the Krabby Patty, with the Help Wanted sign on the front. I've waited years for this moment. I'm gonna go in there, march straight up to the manager, look at him straight in the eye, lay it on the line, and - I can't do it!
Dorothy L. Sayers
- Censorship
The heaviest restriction upon the freedom of public opinion is not the official censorship of the Press, but the unofficial censorship by a Press which exists not so much to express opinion as to manufacture it.
Tim O'Brien
- Crying over Cowardice
What was I crying about, you see, was not self pity. I was crying with the knowledge that I'd be going to Vietnam, that I was essentially a coward. I couldn't go to Canada. Given what I believed, anyway, the right thing would have been to follow your conscience, and I couldn't do it. Some of it had to do with raw embarrassment, a fear of blushing. A fear of some old farmer in my town saying to another farmer, "Did you hear what the O'Brien kid did? The sissy went to Canada."
Chris Rock
- Commercialized America
We Americans commercialize everything. Look at what we did to Christmas. Christmas is Jesus' birthday. Now, I don't know Jesus, but from what I read he was the least materialistic person who ever walked the earth. No bling on Jesus. He kept a low profile and we turned his birthday into the most commercial day of the year. In fact, we have a whole Jesus birthday season.

- Love is Worth it All
Love isn't always perfect. It isn't a fairytale or a storybook. It doesn't always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, and impossible to live without. Love is work, but most of all, love is realizing every hour, every minute, and every second was worth it because you did it together.
Nicole Williams
- Love isn't always Love
Love isn't always love, sweetheart. It's hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation. But at the end of each day, if you can still look at the person at your side and can't imagine anyone else you'd rather have there, the pain and heartache and the ups and downs are worth it.
Jim Valvano
- Three Things Everyday
To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in though. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day.

- Snake Juice - Parks and Rec
Hello, my name is Ron Swanson. In general I try never to speak with people, but I have been drinking this Snake Juice thing and it's damn good. You should buy it. You should know my recommendation is essentially a guarantee. Drink this. NOW.

- Mojitos
The day I finally realized that external validation was a pathway to depression was one day too late. I took a physical form of validation in a drink the night before. Sadly the mojito was a little more than validation that night. It was shame, it was fear, and it was danger all bundled together with club soda and mint leaves. It was everything I was warned against. I realized that searching for validation in the lips of strangers was never going to get me anywhere. Anywhere safe.

- Sneeze Muffin - FRIENDS
Finally, I have someone I can pass on my wisdom to. Let me tell you about a couple of things I learned while working at the coffee house. First of all, the customer is always right. A smile goes a long way. And if anyone is ever rude to you: Sneeze Muffin.
Monica Gellar
- Monica's Vows - FRIENDS
Chandler, for so long I wondered if I would ever find my prince, my soulmate. Then, three years ago at another wedding, I turned to a friend for comfort and instead I found everything that I had been looking for my whole life. And now, here we are with our future before us, and I only want to spend it with you, my prince, my soulmate, my friend.
Chandler Bing
- Proposing to Monica - FRIENDS
I thought that it mattered what I said or where I said it. Then I realized the only thing that matters is that you, you make me happier than I ever thought I could be. And if you'll let me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way.
Douglas MacArthur
- Duty, Honor, Country
Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.
Anton Ego
- Anyone Can Cook - Ratatouille
Last night, I experienced something new. An extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.
Colonel Joshua Chamberlain
- What We're Fighting For - Gettysburg
America should be free ground - all of it. Not divided by a line between slave state and free all the way from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow. No man born to royalty. Here, we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was. Here, you can be something. Here, is the place to build a home. But it's not the land. There's always more land. It's the idea that we all have value - you and me. What we're fighting for in the end, we're fighting for each other.
Jordan Belfort
- Sedate Manhattan - Wolf of Wall Street
On a daily basis, I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens for a month. I take Quaaludes 10-15 times a day for my "back pain," Adderall to stay focused, Xanax to take the edge off, pot to mellow me out, cocaine to wake me back up again, and morphine... Well, because it's awesome.
Markus Zusak
- a small piece of truth - The Book Thief
I'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty and I wonder how the same thing can be both... that the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.
Nikita Gill
- Be that Kind of Person
Be the kind of person who isn't afraid to ask someone if they are okay twice if they say they are, but look like they aren't. Be the kind of person who smiles at people even if they don't smile back. Be the kind of person you wished for when no one was there for you. Be the kind of person who is brave enough to stand alone in a crowd for what is right. Be that person because we need more people like that in the world. Be that person because people like that are rarer than the rarest diamonds.
