Favorite Movie Quotes: Sneakers

"There's a war out there, old friend, a world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets, it's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think. It's all about the information."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Shenandoah

"It's like all wars, I guess. The undertakers are winning. And the politicians who talk about the glory of it. And the old men who talk about the need of it. And the soldiers, well, they just wanna go home."

Some personal trivia. My Mother picked my first name, my Father my middle name. According to my Virginian raised Dad, if my parents had switched roles in the name game I would be known today as Shenandoah. Mom probably still would've picked Steven, but as my middle name. So I could've been Shenandoah Steven Willis.

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Shawshank Redemption

"I guess it comes down to a simple choice. Get busy living or get busy dying."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Secondhand Lions

"If you want to believe in something, believe in it. Just because something isn't true that's no reason you can't believe in it. There's a long speech I give to young men, sounds you need to hear a piece of it. Just a piece. Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love-- true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in. Got that?"
