Banjo Patterson
- Clancy of the Overflow
I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better knowledge, sent to where I met him down the Lachlan years ago. He was shearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him just on spec, addressed as follows: Clancy of the Overflow.
Vin Diesel
- On Paul Walker
When I heard, I immediately flew back to California, and went directly from the plane to his mother's house. I thought they needed my strength, but realized when I got there and broke down before his family, that it was I who needed theirs. His mother hugged me and said, "I am so sorry." I said, "Sorry? You're the mother who lost a son." She said, "Yes, but you lost your other half."
Sylvia Plath
- Pursuit
I hurl my heart to halt his pace, to quench his thirst I squander blood, he eats, and still his need seeks food, compels a total sacrifice. His voice waylays me, spells a trance, the gutted forest falls to ash, appalled by secret want, I rush, from such assault of radiance. Entering the tower of my fears, I shut my doors on that dark guilt, I bolt the door, each door I bolt. Blood quickens, going in my ears. The panther's tread is on the stairs, coming up and up the stairs.
Mikey Walsh - The Goonies
- Our time down here
Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket.
R (Nicholas Hoult)
- Warm Bodies
Even though we can't communicate, we do share a similar taste in food. Traveling in packs just kind of makes sense. Especially when everyone and their grandmother is trying to shoot you in the head all the time. God we move slow. This could take a while.
Lupita Nyong'o
- Oscar speech
My brother Junior sitting by my side, thank you so much, you're my best friend and then my other best friend, my chosen family. When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every little child that no matter where you're from, your dreams are valid. Thank you.
Veronica Mars
Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember, or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild... Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. But if you're like me, you just keep chasing the storm.
