    Well sir, you know when you create someone, and you nurture them, they grow... Well, there comes a time when they lead their own life, or die their own death."

    Dead Poets Society, 1989.

    We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

    Awakenings, 1990.

    The human spirit is more powerful than any drug, and that is what needs to be nourished. Work, play, friendship, family: these are the things that matter. This is what we've forgotten. Simplest things.

    Oh, sir. I saw it! Some angry member of the kitchen staff, Did you not tip them? Oh, the terrorists! They run that way. It was a run-by fruiting.

    Jumanji, 1995.

    Beware the ground in which you stand, the floor is quicker than the sand.

    I love you with all my heart. With every cell, with every molecule, with every atom. I love you on the sub-atomic level.

    Good Will Hunting, 1997.

    If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favourites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.
