Borrow a few lines from Macalus' title.

"You've never left Boston. So ask you about art, and you're probably going to come up with superficial arguments in art books. You know a lot about Michelangelo. His political ambitions, him and the Pope...his sexuality, he All the works, right? But you don't know the smell of the Sistine Chapel, you've never stood there admiring the beautiful ceiling. I've seen it.
If I asked about women, you'd probably say something about personal preference The fallacy. You may have gone to bed a few times, but you can't tell what it's like to wake up next to a woman and be happy. You're a stubborn kid, ask about war, and you'll say Shakespeare's words, "Go to war, my dear." friend". But you've never been close to war, never put your best friend's head in your lap and watched him let out his last breath.
Ask about love and you'll quote sonnets, but you've never seen a woman's vulnerability She can knock you down with her eyes, feel like God sent an angel down for you, she can rescue you from hell, you don't know what it's like to be her angel...have love for her forever. Go through it all, go through cancer, you Can't understand sleeping in the hospital for two months, because the doctor sees you and knows that the time limit for visiting guests is not valid for you. You don't understand the real loss, you can only appreciate it when you love others more than yourself."

"These little qualities make her To be my wife, she also knows all my little flaws, people call it imperfect. It's not, that's the good thing, being able to choose who gets into our world. You're not perfect, I don't want you to eat, you The girls you know aren't perfect, the question is whether you're a perfect fit. That's what intimacy is all about. You can know everything in the world, but the way to discover is to try."

Good Will Hunting quotes

  • Lambeau: You're angry at me for doing what you could have done; but ask yourself, Sean. Ask yourself if you want Will to feel that way, if you want him to feel like a failure.

    Sean: Oh, you arrogant shit! That's why I don't come to the goddamned reunions, 'cause I can't stand that look in your eye. Ya know, that condescending, embarrassed look. You think I'm a failure. I know who I am, and I'm proud of what I do. I was a conscientious choice, I didn't fuck up! And you and your cronies think I'm some sort of pity case. You and your kiss-ass chorus following you around going, "The Fields Medal! The Fields Medal!" Why are you still so fuckin' afraid of failure?

  • Chuckie: [in a bar] I didn't get on Cathy last night.

    Will: No?

    Chuckie: Nah.

    Will: Why not?

    Chuckie: I don't know.

    [yells across room]

    Chuckie: Cathy!

    Cathy: What?

    Chuckie: Why didn't you give me none of that nasty little hoochie-woochie you usually throw at me?

    Cathy: Oh, fuck you and your Irish curse, Chuckie. Like I'd waste my energy spreading my legs for that Tootsie Roll dick? So go home and give it a tug yourself.
