In fact, the geniuses in the film are not all of us, but our lives are exactly the same. We face loneliness and loneliness every day, fear and ignorance about the future, and waste our talents. Do you know what life is? . . The following line is really great. . .
You're just a kid and you don't even know what you're talking about. So if I ask you about art, you may make superficial arguments in art books. You know a lot about Michelangelo. He was full of political enthusiasm, and he was inseparable with the Pope and indulged in sex. You know him very well, right? But you don't even know the smell of the Sistine Chapel, do you? Have you ever tried standing there, looking up at the famous paintings on the ceiling? Surely you haven't seen it? If I ask about women, you can tell me all about it, you may have been in bed a few times, but you can't tell the real joy in waking up next to a woman. You are young and strong, and if I talked to you about war, you would throw Shakespeare at me and recite "To the battlefield, dear friend", but you have never been in battle, never tried to hold your best friend's head in your arms , watching him take his last breath, stare at you, and ask you for help. I ask you what love is, you may only be able to sway the wind and the moon, but you have never tried to pour your heart into it. When your eyes meet, you understand each other's hearts. It's like God arranged for angels to come down to earth only for you and for you Saved from the abyss of hell, you have never tried the feeling of caring for her in every possible way, you have never tried to love her, and you will never hesitate to know that she is terminally ill, you have never tried The feeling of losing a loved one...

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.
