Movie Quote: The Ice Storm
"In issue 141 of the Fantastic Four, published in November, 1973, Reed Richards had to use his anti-matter weapon on his own son, who Aannihilus has turn into the Human Atom Bomb. It was a typical predicament for the Fantastic Four, because they weren't like other superheroes. They were more like a family. And the more power they had, the more harm they could do to each other without even knowing it. That was the meaning of the Fantastic Four: that a family is like your own personal anti-matter. Your family is the void you emerge from, and the place you return to when you die. And that's the paradox - the closer you're drawn back in, the deeper into the void you go."
- Paul Hood by Rick Moody, The Ice Storm
Quote: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
"I've never seen two people more in love. And I think that's the reason I can never settle for anything less than amazing. They made it look so easy."
- Keira Knightley/Penny Lockhart by, Lorene Scafaria
Lifelines
"Music is one of the only places you can truly forget yourself, travel in your mind, become someone else or make a moment eternal. You can revisit what you felt just by putting on that song again. And you're right back there...Falling in love, heartbroken, lost, found and lost again...Living."
- Andrea Corr, Lifelines (album)
Anime Quote: My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU
"I hate nice girls. Just exchanging pleasantries with them makes me curious,and texting each other makes me feel restless. If I get a call, for the rest of the day, I’ll keep checking my call history with a stupid grin on my face. But I know the truth. They’re just being nice. Anyone nice to me is nice to others too. But I always find myself on the verge of forgetting that. If the truth is a cruel mistress, then a lie must be a nice girl. And so, niceness is a lie. I would always hold expectation. I would always misunderstand. At some point, I stopped hoping. An experienced loner never falls for the same trap twice. A lone warrior, surviving hundreds of battles. When it comes to losing, I’m the strongest. That’s why, no matter what happens, I will always hate nice girls."
- Hikigaya Hachiman by Wataru Watari, Episode 5
Anime Quote: Welcome to the N.H.K
"It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the Internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person turn to the Internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met just to make themselves superior. Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation."
- Tatsuhiko Takimoto, Welcome to the N.H.K.
Anime Quote: Kimi to Boku
"I thought growing older would turn me into an adult. I thought I'd get a job, get married, and somehow become an adult version of myself. But nothing like that happened. I've still never truly felt that I've become an adult. But I know I'm no longer a child."
- Koichi Azuma, Kimi to Boku
Movie Quote: 5 Centimeters Per Second
“I’m just trying to live my life, but it seems as if sadness always piles itself up around me. It’s in my bed, the toothbrush in my bathroom, and the memory of my cellphone. Over the past few years, I’ve wanted to move on, I’ve wanted to take hold of something I couldn’t reach. What that is, I have no idea. Not knowing where such obsessive thoughts were coming from, I simply drowned myself in my work. Then one day I realized that my heart was withering, and in it there was nothing but pain. And one morning, I realized that my beliefs, that I once held so passionately, had completely disappeared. That was it, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I quit my job.”
- Takaki Tono by Makoto Shinkai, 5 Centimeters Per Second
Movie Quote: Hannah and Her Sisters
"How can you think of killing yourself? Isn't it stupid? Look at all the people on-screen. They're funny, and what if the worst is true? There's no God, you only go around once, that's it. Don't you want to be part of the experience? It's not all a drag. And I'm thinking, 'I should stop ruining my life, searching for answers...and just enjoy it while it lasts.' And after, who knows? Maybe there is something. I know "maybe" is a slim reed to hang your life on, but that's the best we have. And then I started to sit back...and I actually began to enjoy myself."
- Woody Allen, Hannah and Her Sisters
Movie Quote: Manhattan
"He was given to fits of rage, Jewish, liberal paranoia, male chauvinism, self-righteous misanthropy, and nihilistic moods of despair. He had complaints about life, but never solutions.
He longed to be an artist, but balked at the necessary sacrifices. In his most private moments, he spoke of his fear of death which he elevated to tragic heights when, in fact, it was mere narcissism."
- Woody Allen, Manhattan
Movie Quote: Amadeus
"All I ever wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing, and then made me mute. Why? Tell me that. If he didn't want me to praise him with music, why implant me the desire, like a lust in my body. And then deny me the talent?"
- Milos Forman, Amadeus
Movie Quote: Ghost World
"You think it's healthy to obsessively collect things? You can't connect with other people so you fill your life with stuff.I'm just like all the rest of these pathetic collector losers."
- Terry Zwigoff and Daniel Clowes, Ghost World
