It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere." - Van Wilder ( Ryan Reynolds / American Party / 2002) "It's not the critic who counts, it's not the one who points out the hero who stumbles, it's not the one who points out the weaknesses of the righteous who is important. No, all the credit goes to the one who is in the arena!" - Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins / The world fastest Indian / 2005) "Never let anyone tell you that you can't do it, not even me. Do you understand? If you have a dream, you must protect it. You'll find that people who can't do it will do anything to discourage you. If you really want something, you have to fight for it, period." - Chris Gardner (Will Smith / The Search for Happiness / 2006) "I still believe in heaven, but at least now I know it's not a place you can look for.

My heart fills up like a balloon, ready to burst. And then I realize that I have to let go, that I have to stop trying to hold on to it. And it slides over me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every moment of my insignificant little life. You don't understand what I'm saying, do you? Don't worry, one day you will. - Lester ( Kevin Spacey / American Beauty ) "We walk away from our dreams because we fear failure, or worse, success." - William Forrester ( Sean Connery / In Search of Forrester ) "I know what I have to do now: keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise, and who knows what the tide may bring?" - Chuck Noland ( Tom Hanks / Alone in the World ) "I don't know if it was Mom who was right or if it was Lieutenant Dan...
