BEST FILM QUOTE OF THE YEAR
"Argo Fuck Yourself" from Argo
"There is a natural order to this world, and those who try to upend it do not fare well. This movement will never survive, if you join them you and your entire family will be shunned. At best you will exist at pariah to be spat at and beaten, at worse to be lynched or crucified. And for what, for what, no matter what you do it will never amount to anything more than a single drop in a limitless ocean.
What is an ocean but a multitude of drops?" from Cloud Atlas
"I see that I'm a little piece of a big big universe and that makes things right" from Beasts of the Southern Wild
"I'm the motherfucker who found this place!" from Zero Dark Thirty
"Imagination and reality have little in common" from Amour
"Nothing happens unless first we dream" from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
"I count six shots, nigger. I count two guns, nigger." from Django Unchained
"True lovers are one soul that is separated when it's born. Those two halves will always yearn to find their way back together" from Upside Down
"Old age is clearly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." from Arbitrage
"I know these will become old stories someday and our pictures will become old photographs and we'll all become somebody's Mom or Dad, but right now, these moments are not stories. This is happening and I'm here." from The Perks of Being a Wallflower
