Movie Quotes For Any Mood

I'm kind of in a funny place tonight. I've spent a lot of time lately over thinking anything and everything, generally making myself miserable in the process. I'm sure we all sit down and engage in such self destructive behavior from time to time. We pick apart even the smallest events in our lives, and then inevitably we pick apart the action of picking things apart. We can be completely self-centered and overly concerned with what others are going to think at the same time.

Sh!t, I even started writing some completely introspective post called "The Dangerous Act of Over Thinking One's Self", then thought better of it and scrapped it. Talk about your backwards fool, complete with a government certificate proclaiming aid to those that have to deal with you.

Again though, we all get in our funks right? Sometimes all we need is something small to pull ourselves out of it. For me, I always crash into movies, finding solace into other people's make believe lives because fiction is sometimes a lot easier to deal with. With that in mind, I had a thought; there has to be at least one movie line to pull anyone out of any mood.

Feeling Stupid - "What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What? " - Jules, Pulp Fiction

Feeling Fat - "I'd better not. I have what doctors call a little bit of a weight problem. I used to grab bear claws as a kid, two at a time, and I'd get them lodged right in this region here." - Tommy Callahan, Tommy Boy

Feeling Insignificant - "And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire..." - Milton Wadhams, Office Space


Feeling Crazy
- "Is that crazy enough for ya'? Want me to take a shit on the floor?" - McMurphy, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

Feeling Overwhelmed - "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue." - Steve McCroskey, Airplane


Feeling Confused
- "I would've made a sexy chick." - Brody, Mallrats

Feeling The Need - "Do you have bathrooms here or do I have to shit in a plant?" - Jeff, Grandma's Boy

Feeling Wordy - "VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V, V For Vendetta (And everything else)

Feeling Unruly - "Greed is for amateurs. Disorder, chaos, anarchy: now that's fun" - Top Dollar, The Crow

Feeling Dedicated - "Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't get in a car, I don't fucking ride in a car, I don't pick up the phone, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don't fucking roll! Shomer shabbos!" - Walter Sobchak, The Big Lebowski

Feeling Lost - "I'm stuck in this pit, working for less than slave wages. Working on my day off, the goddamn steel shutters are closed, I deal with every backward ass fuck on the planet. I smell like shoe polish. My ex-girlfriend is catatonic after fucking a dead guy. And my present girlfriend has sucked 36 dicks." - Dante, Clerks

and finally...

Feeling Hopeful - "Look kids, Big Ben!" - Clark Griswold, National Lampoons European Vacation

Alright, so those are just a few of what I could come up with. To tell you the truth, just running through this exercise helped me a bit. Feel free to add in any thing you feel would work here, especially if you need a little pick-me-up. Have a great weekend!
