Movie Quotes - Peaceful Warriors

1. There are no ordinary moments.

2. This moment is the only thing that matters.

3. Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal illness…if you had little time left to live…you would waste precious little of it. Well, I'm telling you…you do have a terminal illness: It's called birth. You don't have more than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now, without reason…or you will never be at all.

4. The first realization of a warrior is not knowing.

5. Every action has it's pleasure and it's price.

6. You haven't yet opened your heart fully, to life, to each moment. The peaceful warrior's way is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability…to the world, to life, and to the Presence you felt. All along I've shown you by example that a warrior's life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about love. Love is a warrior's sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.

7. Find the love in what you do.

8. Everything has a purpose. It's up to you to find it.

9. If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.

10. Some people live their whole lives without ever waking up.

11. Knowledge is not the same as wisdom.

12. Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation…is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.

13. I call myself a Peaceful Warrior…because the real battles we fight are on the inside.

14. Find your answers from inside.

15. Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is…the only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.

16. Those who are hardest to love are the ones who need it most.

17. Throw out everything that is keeping you from this moment.

18. Where are you? Here. What time is it? Now. What are you? This moment.

19. There is never nothing going on.

20. Three principles of reality: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

21. There is only the journey.

Movie Quotes - Freedom Writers

Freedom Writers (2007)
Gloria: Miss Gruwell, he just took my damn bag!

Marcus: That Miep Gies lady, the one that help hide her, I like her. I got all these other books about her from the library.
Erin Gruwell: Wow, you used your library card?
Marcus: Nah...

Andre: It's the dumb class cuz. It means you too dumb.
Jamal: Man, say it to my face cuz.
Andre: I just did. See what I mean? Dumb?

Marcus: No, that don't fly Ma.
Erin Gruwell: First of all I'm not anybody's mother.
Andre: No, that's not what it means.
Eva: It's a sign of respect... for you.

Erin Gruwell: But to get respect you have to give it.
Andre: Bullshit.
Erin Gruwell: What?
Andre: Why should I give you my respect to you? Because you're a teacher? I don't know you. How do I know you're not a liar standing up there. How do I know you're not a bad person standing up there? I'm not just gonna give you my respect because you're called a teacher.
Eva: White people wanting their respect like its for free.

Erin Gruwell: Does anyone know Homer's the Odyssey?
Andre: I know Homer the Simpson.

Ben: Ms. G, we can fight this y'know, like the Freedom Riders.
Marcus: Yeh yeh, we all drive around on a bus, only this time they try and bust us up we bust a few of them board member's heads.
Brandy: Or we can go to the newspapers. Media...?
Tito: Or we can paint the administration building with the word assholes, in various colours.

Eva: So when's Anne Frank gonna smoke Hitler?

Erin Gruwell: An F? What,are ya trippin'?

Miep Gies: You are the heroes. You are heroes every day.

Miep Gies: But even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can, within their own small ways, turn on a small light in a dark room.

Marcus: I've never had a hero before. But you are my hero.
Miep Gies: Oh, no. No, no, no, young man, no. I am not a hero. No. I did what I had to do, because it was the right thing to do. That is all.

Erin Gruwell: The evaluation assignment was to grade yourself on the work you're doing. You gave yourself an F. What's that about?
Andre: It's what I feel I deserve, that's all.
Erin Gruwell: Oh really?
[pause]
Erin Gruwell: You know what this is? This is a Fuck You to me and everyone in this class. I don't want excuses. I know what you're up against. We're all of us up against something. So you better make up your mind, because until you have the balls to look me straight in the eye and tell me this is all you deserve, I am not letting you fail. Even if that means coming to your house every night until you finish the work. I see who you are. Do you understand me? I can see you. And you are not failing.

Jamal: Man, what am I DOIN' in here, man? This ol' ghetto ass class got people in here lookin' like a bad rerun of cops!

Erin Gruwell: Your bags are packed and you think the wine will give me a headache?

Erin Gruwell: Maybe we should talk about art. Tito's got real talent, don't you think? You know something? I saw a picture just like this once, in a museum. Only it wasn't a black man, it was a jewish man. And instead of the big lips he had a really big nose, like a rat's nose. But he wasn't just one particular jewish man. This was a drawing of all jews. And these drawings were put in the newspapers by the most famous gang in history. You think you know all about gangs? You're amateurs. This gang will put you all to shame. And they started out poor and angry and everybody looked down on them. Until one man decided to give them some pride, an identity... and somebody to blame. You take over neighborhoods? That's nothing compared to them. They took over countries. You want to know how? They just wiped out everybody else. Yeah, they wiped out everybody they didn't like and everybody they blamed for their life being hard. And one of the ways they did it was by doing this: see, they print pictures like this in the newspapers, jewish people with big, long noses... blacks with big, fat lips. They'd also published scientific evidence that proved that jews and blacks were the lowest form of human species. Jews and blacks were more like animals. And because they were just like animals it didn't matter if they lived or died. In fact, life would be a whole lot better if they were all dead. That's how a holocaust happens. And that's what you all think of each other.

Andre: Justice doesn't mean the bad guy goes to jail, it just means that someone pays for the crime.

Gloria: If you look in my eyes, you'll see a lonely girl. If you like at my smile, you'll see nothing wrong. If you pull up my shirt, you'll see the bruises. What did I do to make him so mad?

Marcus: Clive was my boy. He had my back plenty of times. Me and him was like one fist. One army.
[Clive pulls a gun out of a paper bag and accidentally shoots himself]
Marcus: I sat there until the police came. But when they come, all they see is a dead body, a gun, and a nigger. They took me to juvenile hall. First night was the scariest. Inmates banging on the walls, throwing up gang signs, yelling out who they were and where they from. I cried my first night. I never let anybody know that. I spent the next few years in and out of cells. Every day I worry, when will I be free?

Andre: My brother taught me what the life is for a young black man. Pimp, deal, whatever. Learn what colors to wear. Gang banners. You can sell to one corner, but you can't sell another. Learn to be quiet. The wrong word can get you popped.

Jamal: At sixteen, I've seen more bodies than a mortician. Every time I step out my door I face the risk of being shot. To the rest of the world it's just another dead body on a street corner. They don't know that he was my friend.

Eva: I don't even know how this war started. It's just two sides that tripped each other way back. Who cares about the history behind it? I am my father's daughter, and when they call me to testify, I will protect my own, no matter what.

Brandy: In every war, there is an enemy. I watched my mother being hlaf-beaten to death, and watched as bloodand tears streamed down her face. I felt useless and scared, and furious at the same time. I can still feel the sting of the belt on my back and my legs. One time he couldn't pay the rent. That night he stopped us on the street and pointed to the concrete. He said, "pick a spot."

Sindy: During the war in Cambodia, the camps stripped away my father's dignity. He sometimes tries to hurt me and my mom. I feel like I have to protect my family.

Alejandro: I was having trouble deciding what candy I wanted. Then I heard gunshots. I looked down to see that one of my friends had blood coming from his back and his mouth. The next day I pulled down my shirt and got strapped with a gun I found in an alley outside my house.

Tito: Nobody cares what I do. Why should I bother coming to school?

Eva: In America, a girl can be crowned a princess for her beauty, and her grace. But an Aztec princess is chosen for her blood. To fight for her people as Papi and his father fought, against those who say we are less than they are, against those who say that we are not equal in beauty or blessings.

[while playing the Line Game, in which Erin makes the class reveal that they have more in common than they care to admit]
Erin Gruwell: Who has been to jail or a juvenile hall?
Sindy: Does a refugee camp count?
Erin Gruwell: You decide.
[Sindy stands on the line]

[following Erin's impassioned speech about the Nazi Holocaust]
Tito: [raises hand] What's a holocaust?
Erin Gruwell: Who here knows what the Holocaust is?
[all keep their hands down except Ben, the only white kid, who sheepishly raises his]
Erin Gruwell: Who here has ever been shot at?
[all raise their hands except Ben, who lowers his]

Andre: She can't even look at me because I look like my dad.

Eva: White people wanting respect like they deserve it for free.
Erin Gruwell: I'm a teacher, it doesn't matter what color I am.
Eva: It's all about color, it's about people deciding what you deserve, about people wanting what they don't deserve. About whites thinking they own this world no matter what, you see, I hate white people.
Erin Gruwell: You hate me? You don't even know me.
Eva: I know what you can do. I saw white cops shoot my friend in the back for reaching into his pocket, his pocket! I saw white cops come into my house and take my father away for no REASON except they feel like it! Except because they can! And they can, because they're white. So I HATE white people on sight!

Kata-kata Hikmah - Kemaafan

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
Paul Boose

When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.
Catherine Ponder

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbour as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Eric Hoffer

Quotes of Leaders 3

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say “I.” And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say “I.” They don’t think “I.” They think “we”; they think “team.” They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but “we” gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.
Peter Drucker

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
Steve Jobs

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.
Bill Gates

It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybody.

Kenneth Blanchard

Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can’t blow an uncertain trumpet.
Theodore M. Hesburgh

I think leadership comes from integrity – that you do whatever you ask others to do. I think there are non-obvious ways to lead. Just by providing a good example as a parent, a friend, a neighbor makes it possible for other people to see better ways to do things. Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity.
Scott Berkun

Quotes Of Leaders

The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people, but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already.
John Buchan

The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
Theodore Roosevelt

To lead people, walk beside them … As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate … When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!
Lao-Tsu

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Harold R. McAlindon

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Stand by your man. Give him two arms to cling to and something warm to come to.

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
Robert Browning

The art of love is largely the art of persistence.
Albert Ellis

The best proof of love is trust.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
Audrey Hepburn

The degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving.

The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.
Honore de Balzac

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.
George Edward Moore

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.

Ulasan Filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa

Ulasan Filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa
Ulasan Filem oleh Amiene Rev (C) 2011

Filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa boleh dianggap sebagai salah sebuah filem termahal di Malaysia. Kos pembikinan filem epik Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa ini ialah sebanyak RM8 juta dan setakat ini boleh dianggap sebagai filem termahal yang diterbitkan oleh KRU Studios. Namun nilai sebanyak RM8 juta itu tidak dianggap rugi memandangkan filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa kini sudah dipasarkan di 72 buah negara. Boleh dianggarkan pulangan keuntungannya juga adalah lumayan. Tambahan pula, filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa mendapat sambutan yang amat menggalakkan di panggung-panggung wayang tempatan sehingga jualan tiket sentiasa habis pada setiap tayangan. Filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa ini juga ditonton oleh pelbagai kaum dan bangsa, apatah lagi watak-watak penting dalam filem ini terdiri daripada pelbagai bangsa.

Memandangkan di Terengganu kurang orang India, maka 3 buah bas penuh dengan pelakon-pelakon tambahan berbangsa India dari Kuantan, Pahang telah dibawa untuk menjayakan babak pergaduhan di Goa. 2 ekor gajah dan 5 ekor kuda juga telah digunakan dalam babak di Goa.

Aksi-aksi pertarungan hebat dalam filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa ini dirakamkan dengan kerjasama jurukamera khusus untuk aksi lagak ngeri yang dibawa khas dari Hong Kong. Para pelakon lagak ngeri untuk filem ini amat terkenal dan merupakan dari pasukan pelagak ngeri yang sama pernah digunakan untuk menjayakan aksi-aksi hebat dalam filem Hellboy 2 dan Rush Hour. Sementara itu, babak-babak CGI (Computer Generated Image) dalam filem ini adalah sekitar 2000 shot.

Lagu tema filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa memang sangat menarik dan merangsang semangat. Seramai 105 orang pemain muzik Orchestra Antarabangsa telah dipilih untuk bermain di bawah pimpinan Malaysia Philharmonic.

Berikut adalah sedikit fakta tentang Filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa:
  • FILEM: Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa
  • ARAHAN: Yusry Abdul Halim
  • LAKONAN: Stephen Rahman Hughes, Jing Liu, Gavin Stenhouse, Craig Fong, Datuk Rahim Razali, Ummi Nazeera, Wan Hanafi Wan Su, Khir Rahman, Jehan Miskin, Mano Maniam
  • GENRE: Epik, aksi
  • DURASI: 1 jam 50 minit
  • TERBITAN & EDARAN: KRU Studios
  • TAYANGAN: 10 Mac 2011

Kematangan penggunaan CGI tampak semakin jelas dalam filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa ini. Khir Rahman yang memegang watak Kamawas, anak murid kepada Taji (lakonan Wan Hanafi Wan Su) , seperti biasa memainkan watak antagonis dengan cukup baik, serta ungkapan dialog yang jelas dan bertenaga.

Walau bagaimana pun terdapat beberapa babak dalam filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa yang kelihatan agak kebudak-budakan tetapi kelakar. Antara babak-babak tersebut ialah babak semasa Stephen Rahman Hughes (sebagai Merong Mahawangsa) menggunakan cermin untuk menghasilkan sinar seolan-olah laser ke arah tentera lanun di lautan. Lakonan dan dialog para pelakon semasa babak ini berlangsung kelihatan agak janggal. Begitu juga dengan babak di mana Puteri China atau Puteri Meng (lakonan Jing Liu) yang memunculkan diri dengan membawa tangkal azimat Kamawas sambil terjerit-jerit riang mengatakan bahawa dia telah berjaya merampas tangkal azimat kebal Kawamas dianggap tidak begitu perlu.

Kontras, gred warna dan light exposure yang digunakan di dalam filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa ini juga adakalanya tidak sesuai di mana terdapat visual beberapa babak kelihatan tidak jelas di layar perak.

Dari segi olahan skrip, filem ini telah diolah dengan agak baik. Watak asal burung garuda yang tersebut di dalam kitab hikayat asal telah digantikan dengan kumpulan lanun yang dikenali sebagai Garuda. Ini merupakan satu variasi yang baik.

Keupayaan orang-orang dahulu untuk berbahasa Inggeris agak mengagumkan. Stephen Rahman Hughes juga memainkan watak Merong Mahawangsa dengan sungguh hebat dan ikonik. Filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa bertuah kerana berjaya mendapatkan pelakon yang serba sempurna seperti Stephen Rahman Hughes yang memang sangat bertepatan dengan ciri-ciri watak hero dalam Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa ini.

Filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa adalah sebuah filem epik CGI yang hebat di Malaysia. Satu kekurangan yang paling ketara dalam filem ini ialah kekurangan pelakon-pelakon pembantu dan pelakon-pelakon tambahan yang berpengalaman. Watak percintaan Puteri China dengan Putera dari Greek dikembangkan dengan baik, tetapi dialog-dialognya kedengaran agak terikat dengan skrip.

Apa pun pro dan kontra dalam filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa ini, usaha semua pihak yang terlibat dalam penerbitan filem Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa ini patut dipuji. Terdapat banyak lagi karya-karya hikayat Melayu yang agung yang belum dipersembahkan ke layar perak seperti Hikayat Panji Semirang, Hikayat Malim Deman, Hikayat Si Miskin, Hikayat Malim Dewa, Hikayat Indera Putera, Hikayat Indera Nata, Hikayat Awang Sulong Merah Muda, Hikayat Bayan Budiman dan berpuluh-puluh hikayat Melayu lama yang belum divariasikan ke bentuk filem.

Menerusi Wikipedia telah dinyatakan bahawa:

Banyak hasil kesusteraan Melayu yang telah musnah ditelan zaman dan peperangan. Antara punca kemusnahan tulisan kesusteraan Melayu adalah seperti lenyapnya Kerajaan Seri Wijaya serta kedatangan agama Islam ke alam Melayu, yang membawa kepada lenyapnya segala naskah-naskah kesusasteraan Melayu yang berasal dari zaman Hindu dahulu.

Selain itu kerana istana raja ialah menjadi tempat perhimpunan buku-buku, kebanyakannya musnah binasa di makan api seperti dalam peristiwa kebakaran istana Sultan Mansor Shah seperti tersebut kesahnya di dalam buku Sejarah Melayu yang mengatakan bahawa dalam peristiwa itulah kerajaan daripada Sang Nila Utama telah dibakar.

Selain itu dengan kejatuhan kerajaan Melaka, banyak kehilangan naskah-naskah kesusasteraan lama Melayu apabila Kerajaan Melayu Melaka alah dilanggar oleh Feringgi banyak buku dan kitab yang musnah terbakar atau tenggelam bersama Flor De La Mar (Flower of the seas). Kapal laksamana Alfonso de Albuquerque dari Portugis yang dipercayai tenggelam di perairan Aceh Tamiang dan Pasai pada Disember 1511 membawa banyak harta rampasan perang Melaka.

Selain itu berlaku juga kebakaran pada sebuah kapal yang bernama the Fame yang dalam pelayaran ke British. Dalam kebakaran itu turut musnah segala muatannya iaitu berbagai khazanah termasuklah perpustakaan lama Melayu yang telah di kumpulkan oleh tuan Raffles.

Menurut keterangan Abdullah Abdul Kadir Munshi dalam hikayatnya, nyatalah amat banyak perpustakaan lama Melayu yang telah musnah dalam kebakaran kapal the Fame itu. Ada pun perpustakaan lama melayu, iaitu kitab-kitab, hikayat-hikayat dan syair-syair yang musnah itu menurut Hikayat Abdullah penuh berisi di dalam tiga buah peti kulit panjang-panjang sedepa, diantaranya ada kira-kira tiga ratus buah buku-buku yang telah dijilid, tiada termasuk naskah-naskah yang belum berjilid, yang bercerai-berai, bergulung dan yang berhelai-helai. Selain dari itu ada lagi duah buah peti penuh berisi dengan surat-surat dan kitab-kitab Jawa, Bali dan Bugis dan tulisan-tulisan di atas daun lontar.

Sesungguhnya adalah terbukti bahawa segala khazanah yang telah musnah didalam kebakaran kapal the Fame itu amat tinggi nilainya kepada tuan Raffles, kerana ade tersebut di dalam buku yang bernama “ Raffles “ of Singapore karangan Reginald Coupland, mengatakan bahawa berbagai khazanah yang telah dikumpulkan oleh Raffles sebanyak muatan lebih sebuah kapal telah sudah pun dihantarkan ke England beberapa lama terdahulu daripada peristiwa kebakaran kapal the Fame itu, tetapi segala khazanah yang terpilih dan lebih-lebih di hargainya telah dikemudiankan oleh Raffles dengan tujuan ia sendiri hendak memerhatikan keselamatan khazanah-khazanah itu dalam pelayaran. Malangnya semuanya itu telah musnah, termasuklah segala naskah buku-buku, surat-surat, tulisan di daun-daun lontar dan sebainya yang telah di simpan kedalam peti-peti oleh Munshi Abdullah di Singapura itu serta beberapa banyak lagi khazanah-khazanah yang telah terkumpul dan dibawa daripada Bencoolen.
Keagungan Melayu pada zaman dahulu kala perlu dihebahkan agar menjadi contoh dan teladan kepada generasi kini yang tampak cenderung mengagung-agungkan budaya luar.

Movie Quotes - A.I. Artificial Intelligence

Movie: A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Actors: Haley Joel Osment (David), Frances O'Connor (Monica Swinton), Jude Law (Gigolo Joe), William Hurt (Prof. Hobby), Sabrina Grdevich (Secretary)
David is 11 years old. He weighs 60 pounds. He is 4 feet, 6 inches tall. He has brown hair. His love is real. But he is not.
QUOTE 1:
Monica: You won't understand the reasons but I have to leave you here.
David: Is it a game?
Monica: No.
David: When will you come back for me?
Monica: I'm not, David. You'll have to be here by yourself.
David: Alone?
Monica: With Teddy.
David: No. No, no, no! No, Mommy, please! No, no. Please, Mommy.
Monica: They would destroy you, David!
David: I'm sorry I broke myself. I'm so sorry I cut your hair off. I'm sorry I hurt Martin.
Monica: I have to go. I have to go! Stop it! I have to go now.
David: Mommy, don't! Mommy if Pinocchio became real and I become a real boy can I come home?
Monica: That's just a story.
David: But a story tells what happens.
Monica: Stories are not real! You're not real! Now, look. Take this, alright? Don't let anyone see how much it is. Look. Don't go that way. Go anywhere but that way or they'll catch you. Don't ever let them catch you! Listen, stay away from Flesh Fairs, away from where there are lots of people. Stay away from all people. Only others like you, only Mecha are safe!
David: Why do you want to leave me? Why? I'm sorry I'm not real. If you let me, I'll be so real for you!
Monica: Let go, David! Let go! I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the world.


QUOTE 2:
Narrator: Those were the years when the icecaps melted due to the greenhouse gases and the oceans had risen and drowned so many cities along all the shorelines of the world. Amsterdam, Venice, New York forever lost. Millions of people were displaced. Climate became chaotic. Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries. Elsewhere a high degree of prosperity survived when most governments in the developed world introduced legal sanctions to license pregnancies. Which was why robots, who were never hungry and did not consume resources beyond those of their first manufacture were so essential an economic link in the chain mail society.


QUOTE 3:
Female Colleague: It occurs to me with all this animus existing against Mechas today it isn't just a question of creating a robot that can love. Isn't the real conundrum, can you get a human to love them back?
Professor Hobby: Ours will be a perfect child caught in a freezeframe. Always loving, never ill, never changing. With all the childless couples yearning in vain for a license our Mecha will not only open up a new market but fill a great human need.
Female Colleague: But you haven't answered my question. If a robot could genuinely love a person what responsibility does that person hold toward that Mecha in return? It's a moral question, isn't it?
Professor Hobby: The oldest one of all. But in the beginning, didn't God create Adam to love him?


QUOTE 4:

Monica: Well, one day, David, yes, I will.
David: I'll be alone.
Monica: Don't worry yourself so.
David: How long will you live?

Gigolo Joe: Why was that?
David: Martin came home.
David: Martin is Mommy and Henry's real son. After i find the Blue Fairy then I can go home. Mommy will love a real boy. The Blue Fairy will make me into one.
Gigolo Joe: Is Blue Fairy Mecha, Orga, man or woman?
David: Woman.
Gigolo Joe: Woman? I know women! They sometimes ask for me by name. I know all about women. About as much as there is to know. No two are ever alike, And after they've met me, no two are ever the same. And I know where most of them can be found.
David: Where?
Gigolo Joe: Rouge City. Across the Delaware. Too far for our feet. We'll need help to get there. And it's not without peril. We will have to journey towards the moon.
David: Are there many women in Rouge City?
Gigolo Joe: As there are stars at night.
David: How do we find just one?
Gigolo Joe: We will ask Dr. Know. There is nothing he doesn't. Exactly what name do you give this woman?
David: She is just Blue Fairy.
Gigolo Joe: Blue Fairy. In the world of Orga, blue is the color of melancholy. Yet the services I provide will put a blush back on anyone's cheek. I will change the color of your fairy for you. She will scream out: 'Oh yes! Oh God! Oh, yes! Oh, God! Oh, God!' She will make you a real boy for I will make her a real woman and all will be right with the world because you held my hand and saved my brain so that once again my customers my ask for me by name: 'Gigolo Joe, what do you know?'


QUOTE 6:
Gigolo Joe: There are girls your age that are just like me. We are the guiltless pleasures of the lonely human being. You won't get us pregnant or have us to supper with mommy and daddy. We work under you, we work on you and we work for you. Man made us better at what we do than was ever humanly possible.


QUOTE 7:
Gigolo Joe: She loves what you do for her, as my customers love what it is I do for them. But she does not love you David, she cannot love you. You are neither flesh, nor blood. You are not a dog, a cat, or a canary. You were designed and built specific, like the rest of us. And you are alone now only because they tired of you, or replaced you with a younger model, or were displeased with something you said, or broke. They made us too smart, too quick, and too many. We are suffering for the mistakes they made because when the end comes, all that will be left is us. That's why they hate us, and that is why you must stay here, with me.


QUOTE 8:
David: My mommy doesn't hate me! Because I'm special! And unique! Because there's never been anyone like me before, ever! Mommy loves Martin because he is real, and when I am real Mommy's going to read to me and tuck me in my bed and sing to me and listen to what I say and she will cuddle with me and tell me every day a hundred times a day that she loves me!


QUOTE 9:
Professor Hobby: Tell me, what is love?
Secretary: Love is first widening my eyes a little bit and quickening my breathing a little and warming my skin and touching...
Professor Hobby: ...and so on. Exactly so. Thank you, Sheila.


QUOTE 10:
Specialist (evolved mecha): David, I often felt a sort of envy of human beings, of that thing they call 'spirit'. Human beings have created a million explanations of the meaning of life- in art, in poetry, and mathematical formulas. Certainly human beings must be the key to the meaning of existence. But human beings no longer existed. So, we began a project- that would make it possible to recreate the living body of a person long dead from the DNA in a fragment of bone or mummified skin. We also wondered would it be possible to retrieve a memory trace in resonance with a recreated body. And you know what we found? We found the very fabric of space/time itself appeared to store information about every event which had ever occured in the past. But the experiment was a failure. For those who were resurrected only lived through a single day of renewed life. When the resurectees fell asleep on the night of their first new day they died, again. As soon as they became unconcious, their very existence faded away into darkness. So you see, David, the equations have shown that once an individual space/time part had been used it could not be reused. If we bring your mother back now it will only be for one day. And you will never be able to see her again.
David: Maybe, maybe she will be special. Maybe she will stay.
Specialist (evolved mecha): I thought this would be hard for you to understand. You were created to be so young.
David: Maybe the one day will be like that one day inside the amphibicopter. Maybe it will last forever.
Specialist (evolved mecha): David, you are the enduring memory of the human race. The most lasting proof of their genius. We only want for your happiness. David, you have so little of that.


QUOTE 11:
Specialist (evolved mecha): There's nothing too small that you didn't store for us to remember. We so want you to be happy. You are so important to us, David. You are unique in all the world.


QUOTE 12:
Narrator: David had been warned not to explain anything to Monica otherwise she would become frightened and everything would be spoiled. But David's journey home belonged only to him, so he didn't see the harm in painting her pictures of things she would have no memory of.


QUOTE 13:
Narrator: David had never had a birthday party because David had never been born, so they baked a cake and lit some candles.
Monica: Now make a wish.
David: It came true already.


QUOTE 14:
Narrator: That was the everlasting moment he had been waiting for. And the moment had passed, for Monica was sound asleep. More than merely asleep. Should he shake her she would never rouse. So David went to sleep too. And for the first time in his life, he went to that place where dreams are born.


QUOTE 15:
David: Is it a game?
Monica: Yes.

Movie Quote - Baghban

Movie: Baghban
Actor: Amitabh Bachchan (Raj Malhotra), Hema Malini (Pooja Malhotra), Salman Khan (Alok Raj),

QUOTE 1:
Salman Khan (Alok Raj): You must've often heard people saying that no one has seen God. That it's a matter of devotion,faith and one's belief. But l can tell you that l have seen God in flesh and blood, smiling and laughing... in every joy, in every sorrow, in every test and every situation. lt's none else... than my father.

l was an orphan. l had never seen my parents. Neither did l ever have their love. But l can tell you with confidence,|that had they been here today... they couldn't have given me so much of love and affection... as l got from my father. l have got so much from my father... that l can't ask him|for anything more. But of God l seek one thing in His world, he must continue to make people like my father That's it. l have nothing more to say. Please come here, father.


QUOTE 2:
Amitabh Bachchan (Raj Malhotra): Ladies and gentlemen... l hope you won't believe all that you heard about me just now. Alok praises me so much only because he loves me very much. And he doesn't love me because l'm a very good human being... or because l have several virtues.|He loves me because... he himself is a very nice boy.

Actually, l am not a writer. Writers are those that plunge deep into the oceans of knowledge... and come up with rare gems of literature. l have only written what life has taught me.

'Baghban' is not about me or any other individual. lt's a book of the conflict arising between the days gone by... and the days to come. lt's a book about the broken relations between two generations. lt's a book about the drooping shoulders... on which some children had once sat to see the world. lt's a book about the trembling hands... that once had held the hands of their children, as they taught them to walk. lt's a book about the parched lips... that once sang lullabies. But which have now been silenced.

Times have changed. Life has changed. lf people of my generation will recall... we were always caught up ties and in relations that yielded nothing. Our father was God. At our mother's feet lay our heaven.

And now... now people have become very sensible. The new generation is very clever and practical. For them, every relation is like a ladder... on which they will step to rise further in life. But when they have no use for the ladder anymore... with the rest of the broken furniture in the house... 'old vessels, old clothes and newspapers...' they are dumped in the attic. However, life does not take you up like a ladder. Life grows like a tree. Parents are not the steps on a ladder. Parents are the soul of one's life. However big the tree is, however green and filled it is... it can't stand on its own, once its roots are hacked.

With all humility and respect, l ask today... the children for whose happiness... a father spends every penny of his hard earned money with a smile... those very children, when the father's eye-sight weakens... why do they hesitate in giving them light ?

lf a father can help his son to take the first step in his life... why can't the son... give his father support when he's taking the last few steps of his life?

What crime is it of the parents who have devoted all their lives... to their children, that they are given tears and loneliness? lf they can't give us any love... who gives them the right to snatch our love from us?

What do these children think? The parents God has united in love... can they separate and force them to lead a life of misery and despair?

ls it for a day like this that man seeks children? Children perhaps forget... what is our present today, will be their present tomorrow. lf we are old today, they will also grow old someday. The questions we ask today, they will ask tomorrow.

As for me... please don't worry about me. Because if l am capable of bringing up my children... helping them become able and independent... l am capable of taking care of myself too. l feel no need to expect anything from anyone. Because l am very fortunate. l am fortunate... because life has given me a companion... walking with whom has made my path easier. Walking with whom my hardshipswere always blown away
And that companion is my wife.

People often fall in love. However... they don't express it as often as they should.
l wouldn't want to make a mistake like that.

Pooja... l love you very much. Very much. Because you are, l am'. And there's everything if we are together. Else, there's nothing. Nothing.

That's all l had to say.


QUOTE 3
Amitabh Bachchan (Raj Malhotra): Those children, who don't love their parents... who don't give them shelter... who don't respect them... l'd never forgive them. l'd rather punish them. l'd disown them.


QUOTE 4: Between a mother and her selfish children.
Hema Malini (Pooja Malhotra): Yes, as a mother l may perhaps forgive you. But as a wife... l cannot forget the tears my husband has shed. And all of you are the ones who made them shed tears. l can't say anything about. But l have nothing to give you today. Not even forgiveness.

Movie: Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham
Actor: Shah Rukh Khan (Rahul Raichand), Jaya Bhaduri (Nandini Raichand), Amitabh Bachchan (Yashvardhan 'Yash' Raichand)

Then... one day he left home and went away. Wrong. You let him leave... wrong. You separated a mother from her child... wrong. Our family shattered to pieces... wrong.
