Movie Quotes v.1.0 : Happiness is only real when shared...

Here’s collection of quotes from two movies I watched recently. Into The Wild and Lord of War. Both of these were real good ones and I thoroughly enjoyed watching them. The movies were provided free of cost courtesy IMT Ghaziabad’s local network. And the quotes I looked up on wikiquote and a few other sites. So here they go…

From Lord of War…

  • They say, "Evil prevails when good men fail to act." What they ought to say is, "Evil prevails."
  • Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947, more commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world’s most popular assault rifle, a weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple nine pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood, it doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It will fire whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy even a child could use it, and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that come vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure; no one was lining up to buy their cars.
  • The problem with dating dream girls is that they have a tendency to become real.
  • The first time you sell a gun is a lot like the first time you have sex. You have absolutely no idea what you’re doing, but it is exciting and one way or another it’s over way too fast.
  • There's no problem with living a double life, it is the triple and quadruple lives that get you in the end.
  • You know who's going to inherit the earth? Arms dealers. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other. That's the secret to survival. Never go to war, especially with yourself.
  • And here’s my personal favorite…
  • Some of the most successful relationships are based on lies and deceit. Since that's where they usually end up anyway, it's a logical place to start.

From Into the Wild…

  • I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong.
  • Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth.
  • If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.
  • The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences.
  • Mr. Franz I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don't want one.
  • And my favorite from this one...

Happiness is only real when shared.


I'll continue posting quotes like these from movies I watch in the future as well...and some from ones I've watched in the past...
