"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A."
--Gordon Gekko (portrayed by Michael Douglas), Wall Street (1987-movie).

Blanche Dubois from A Streetcar named Desire
'Maybe we are a long way from being made in God's image, but Stella--my sister--there has been some progress since then! Such things as art--as poetry and music--such kinds of new light have come into the world since then! In some kinds of people tenderer feelings have had some little beginning! That we have got to make grow! And cling to, and hold as our flag! In this dark march toward whatever it is we're approaching. . . . Don't--don't hang back with the brutes!'

This line is so acute and sharp.

 

I did not see this thread before (well, now) as I posted some of my favorite quotes by Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China (1986) in the other quote thread.

Anyway, here are some of my all time favorite movie quotes:

"Don't push it or I'll give you a war that you wont' believe!"
John J. Rambo - First Blood (1982)

"You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself."
Jack Carter - Get Carter (1971)

"Had man not been given to invention and experiment, then tonight, sir, you would have eaten your dinner in a cave. You would've strewn the bones about the floor then wiped your fingers on a coat of animal skin. In fact, your lapels do look a bit greasy. Good night."
Baron Victor von Frankenstein - Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

"I know you're in there, old man! Listen up, mister! That piece of scum barking rat of yours has just taken his last dump on my lawn! I find one more- just one- I'm gonna catch him and staple his ass shut!"

"If they told you wolverines make good house pets, would you believe them?"
Del Griffith - Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

"You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music."

"Come on Bennett, throw away the chicken shit gun, you don't just want to pull the trigger, you want to put the knife in me, and look me in the eye, and see what's going on in there when you turn it, that's what you want to do, right?"

"One day the AIs are going to look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa. An upright ape living in dust with crude language and tools, all set for extinction"

-Nathan from Ex Machina

Sad and likely very accurate. The rate at which AI will evolve will likely outpace us by a large amount, given that our molecular and genetic techniques are still depressingly primitive.
