"You know this city's full of hawks? That's a fact.
They hang around on the top of the big hotels. And
they spot a pigeon in the park. Right down on him."
-Marlon Brando ("On the Waterfront")

"But I tried didn't I, God-damn it. At least I did
that." -Jack Nicholson ("One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest")

"What do you think you are, for Christ's sake, crazy
or
something? Well, you're not! You're not! You're no
crazier than the average asshole out walking around on
the streets and that's it!" -J. Nicholson("One Flew
Over...")

"In my class, you will learn to think for yourselves
again. You will learn to savor words and languages. No
matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can
change the world. I see that look in Mr Pitts' eyes
like 19th century literature has nothing to do with
going to business school or medical school, right?
Maybe. You may agree and think yes, we should study
our Mr. Pritcher and learn our rhyme and meter and go
quietly about the business of achieving other
ambitions. Well, I have a secret for you. Huddle
Up...Huddle UP! We don't read and write poetry because
it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are
members of the human race. And the human race is
filled with passion. Medicine, law, business these are
all noble pursuits necessary to sustain life. But
poetry,
beauty, romance, and love; these are what we stay
alive for. To quote from Whitman "Oh me, Oh life of
the question of these recurring. of the endless trains
of the faithless of cities filled with the foolish.
What good amid these? Oh me, Oh life." "Answer...that
you are here and life exists....You are here. Life
exists, and identity. The powerful play goes on and
you may contribute a verse." The powerful play goes on
and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse
be?" -Robin Williams("Dead Poet's Society")

Jack: (staring up into the clouds): Nothing's       
happening.
Parry: Concentrate.
Jack (deadpan): What if some homophobic jogger runs by
                and kills us to get back at this
                father? "Jack Lucas Found Dead Next to
                a Dead Naked Man" "The two were
                dead, his companion was naked." Hate
it                 when they use the term "companion"
                --it's so insinuating. It'll probably 
               boost the sales of my biography
                though. The public have a fascination 
               with celebrity deaths that involve
                nakedness. Bastards.
Parry: Jack--I may be going out on a limb here but you
                don't seem like a happy camper.
             [pause] Did you ever hear the story of
the              Fisher King?
Jack: No.
Parry: It begins with the King as a boy--having to    
       spend a night alone in the forest to prove his 
      courage so that he could become king. While he  
      was alone, he's visited by a sacred vision. Out 
      of the fire appears the Holy Grail, the symbol  
      of God's divine grace. And a voice spoke to the 
      boy, "You shall be the keeper of the Grail,
       that it may heal the hearts of men." But the
boy        was blinded by greater visions, of a life
filled        with power and glory and beauty...And in
this          state of radical amazement, he felt for
a brief        moment not like a boy, but
invincible...like           God. And so he reached
into the fire to take the        Grail. And the Grail
vanished. Leaving him with        his hand in the
fire, to be terribly wounded.          Now, as this
boy grew older, his wound grew        deeper, until
one day, life for him lost its           reason. He
had no faith in any man, not even        himself. He
couldn't love or feel love. He was        sick with
experience. He began to die. One day,        a fool
wandered into the castle and found the
       king alone. Being a fool, he was simple-minded,
       he didn't see a king, he saw a man alone and in
       pain. And he asked the king, "What ails you,   
       friend?" The king replied, "I'm thirsty. I need
       some water to cool my throat." So the fool took
       a cup from beside the bed, filled it with
water,        handed it to the king. As the king began
to        drink he realized that his wound was healed.
He        looked at his hands, and there was the Holy 
      Grail that which he sought all his life! And he 
      turned to the fool and said in amazement, "How  
     could you find that which what my brightest and  
     bravest could not?" And the fool replied, "I     
  don't know. I only knew that you were thirsty."
       Very beautiful, isn't it? I think I heard it   
    that a lecture once...I don't know...a            
professor...at Hunter." -Robin Williams("The       
Fisher King")
