Samuel L Jackson. Hero.

Thornton: What was it like working with Colin (Farrell), cos he is just so hot in the U.K. right now?

Jackson: He’s pretty hot in the U.S. too.

Thornton: Yeah, but he is one of our own.

Jackson: Isn’t he from Ireland?

Thornton: Yeah, but we can claim him cos Ireland is beside us.

Jackson: You see that’s your problem right there. You British keep claiming people that don’t belong to you. We had that problem here in America too, it was called slavery.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak;
Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

“A vindictive, blood-thirsty, ethnic cleanser, a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, pseudo-masochistic, capriciously, malevolent bully!” – Richard Dawkins’ description of God

I also like this one:

"Don't you love the French language? I have sampled every language, French is my favorite. Fantastic language. Especially to curse with. 'Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère'. It's like wiping your ass with silk, I love it." - The Merovingian, Matrix Reloaded.

Its so, so true.

Trainspotting : Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a ****ing big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of ****ing fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing ****ing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, ****ed-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?

In Bruges:
Overweight man: Been to the top of the tower?
Ray:Yeah... yeah, it's rubbish.
Overweight man: It is? The guide book says it's a must see.
Ray: Well you lot ain't going up there.
Overweight man: Pardon me? Why?
Ray: I mean, it's all winding stairs. I'm not being funny.
Overweight man: What exactly are you trying to say?
Ray: What exactly am I trying to say? You's a bunch of ****in' elephants.
