Angels in America (2003)
Prior Walter: I'm a homosexual.
Harper Pitt: Oh. In my church, we don't believe in homosexuals.
Prior Walter: In my church, we don't believe in Mormons.
Prior Walter: But
still. Still bless me anyway. I want more life. I can't help myself. I
do. I've lived through such terrible times and there are people who
live through much much worse. But you see them living anyway. When they're
more spirit than body, more sores than skin, when they're burned and in
agony, when flies lay eggs in the corners of the eyes of their children
- they live. Death usually has to take life away. I don't know if
that's just the animal. I don't know if it's not braver to die, but I
recognize the habit; the addiction to being alive. So we live past
hope. If I can find hope anywhere, that's it, that's the best I can do.
It's so much not enough. It's so inadequate. But still bless me
anyway. I want more life.
Prior Walter: And if he [God] comes back, take him to court. He walked out on us, he oughta pay.

Muddy Waters: You and me not gonna wake up every morning and get everything we want.
Mostly we got to take what come. And half the time, that's gonna be a
bunch of bullshit.
I Love You Phillip Morris
Steven Russel: I know you think we are nothing but a lie. But underneath all those
lies there was always something real. I thought about what you said to
me. you said you didn't know who I am. But I know now I know who I am.
I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a CFO. I'm not a cop. I'm not some kind of an
escape artist those Steven Russels are dead and all that's left is the
man that loves you.

"You know what I think? I think that we're all in our private traps--clamped in them. And none of us can ever get out. We--we scratch and claw, but only at the air--only at each other. And for all of it, we never budge an inch."
- Norman Bates from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho
"Fiction has very, very real consequences for readers, writers, and cultures. They are cultural transactions, either within a culture or sometimes between cultures. To say that it's "just fiction" when discussing what does and doesn't matter culturally and literarily [sic] is like saying it's "just trade" when talking about the economy."

From the film The Libertine [All quotes come from the character John Wilmont played by Johnny Depp]
-But life is not a succession of urgent "nows". It's a listless trickle of "why should I's"
-Any experiment of interest in life will be carried out at your own expense
-I shall never forgive you for teaching me how to love life.
-All men would be cowards if only they had the courage.
-“I don’t mean to upset people, but I must speak my mind. For what’s in my mind is far more interesting than what’s outside my mind.”
Tom: Paul, seriously...
Paul: Did you bang her?
Tom: No.
Paul: What, hum job? Hand job?
Tom: Man, no. No jobs. I'm still unemployed. We - we kissed.
- from (500) Days Of Summer
Stewie: I've often thought about what this house would be like with more culture.

Disclaimer: Language and violence. Much blood. Vulgar language including the N-Word. I'm not going to rant about the N-Word I will say though that even posting something with the N-Word in it by anyone is a huge step for me. Anyway the N Word isn't what is being critiqued here. BET is and I hate BET so you know...
