This turned into a popular thread on reddit, and I thought I'd try it here. Share with me your deepest, most profound quote. Or if you don't have one, or have too many, pick a favorite of yours. Doesn't have to be film or cinema related. I'll start:

"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those, who in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." -Dante
 
"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked." - Viktor E. Frankl
 
"The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose."

Though I am also partial to: "Wait, I drank what?" - Socrates

"You have to believe in treasure to find it" and also
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." is always a good one - particularly the last several words

Esquire magazine releases "What I've Learned" articles from some of the greatest actors, athletes, scientists, politicians, etc, in the world about what they have learned - definitely worth reading if you want some profundity



Cheers & Happy Friday,
Adam
 
"Now... if you trust in yourself... and believe in your dreams... and follow your star... you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy." - Terry Pratchett
 
"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible."
-T.E. Lawrence
 
"I believe that forgiving terrorists is GOD's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting." -- General Norman Schwartzkof

and

"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny." --Abraham Lincoln

"Every thousand years this metal sphere 10 times the size of Jupiter floats just a few yards past the earth. You climb on your roof and take a swipe at it with a single feather, hit it once every thousand years until you've worn it down to the size of a pea. Yeah, I'd say that's a long time, but it's only half a blink in the place your going to be."
