Quote me right

As I have always reiterated, meaningful quotes have had a huge impact in my life. When you read a sentence, something strikes you so much in it that you go back to ascertain the hidden nuances in the words. Many a time, you are left wondering at the simplicity of the sentence. The profundity in the meaning is taken to new heights and all this with very simple usage of words. Reading books sure does lend a lot of much needed wisdom and gets you to the point of striking the perfect balance in life. Some of the movies have come up with unbelievable quotes that they just remain embedded in you for life. I was watching The Shawshank Redemption for the nth time and it just keeps getting better with every viewing. Strange are the ways of life that you still anticipate for certain things when you know what to expect(Looks like I just created a quote! Wow). Remember Red, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies! is certainly one of my all time favourite cinematic quotes (courtesy: Stephen King). Hope cannot be expressed in a much better and complete sense. I take this quote whenever am in a sobre mood and this quote just keeps getting better and better with time. Get busy living or get busy dying! from the same movie is another beautiful way of looking forward to the good things in life.

Peace isn't merely the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice. One just has to read this quote and gasp in silence(AirForce I). You can't help wondering how true it is! Talking about life, Forrest Gump immediately springs to mind Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. It gets interesting to see Tom Hanks come up with dialogues with such an innate expression Why don't you love me, Jenny? I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is. In the same vein, one can hear him say with ease Mama always said, dying was a part of life. Now, how can one ask for more simplicity from these great Hollywood flicks.

A good sentence is like a good meal. It can be cherished for a lifetime. I don't think anything in the world can give me more pleasure than a couple of words here and there fitted to a nicety in a sentence. Be it in books or movies, good quotes have a way of attracting your attention. I remember the times when my father and I used to sit back and relive some of the good quotations of all times. He, an avid reader, used to pick quotations out of thin air and remember them as if he is about to write an exam in the next couple of hours. I would wonder who is getting old;him or me, for I can't remember all the quotes unlike him. Literature, according to me is the greatest gift to mankind, and with a cornucopia of books, I can spend all my time in the world in the most desolate of places. How I wish I can come up with literary quotes to influence people and write my name in history!!!
