So...what was your movie line?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University
1

<p>Mine:</p>

<p>"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."</p>

<p>-Kevin Spacey as Verbal Kint in The Usual Suspects</p>

2

<p>Yes, it is a good quote, but how many times have you heard it before?</p>

3

<p>"What we do in life echoes in eternity" - Maximus, Gladiator</p>

4

<p>I don't understand what you mean by that. Does having heard the quote before make a difference?</p>

5

<p>It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black. </p>

<p>-Nigel Tufnel, This is Spinal Tap</p>

6

<p>"Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!"</p>

<p>-Leonidus, The 300</p>

7

<p>I chose the most obvious quote ever from American Beauty. I wish I'd done something funny...</p>

8

<p>That question really bugged me. I don't watch movies and start thinking, "Hey, that'll be my favorite movie quote from now on!"</p>

<p>Oh well, at least I wasn't too desperate to quote Borat haha.</p>

9

<p>"Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around every once in a while, you might miss it."
Ferris Bueller's Day Off</p>

10

<p>Borat quotes are too controversial, same with Matrix.</p>

11

<p>My momma always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get</p>

<p>Forrest Gump (duh~!)</p>

12

<p>I was going to put that ^.</p>

13

<p>Why are you guys so afraid to put controversial quotes?</p>

<p>I put a ludicrously offensive website as my favorite >_></p>

14

<p>i thought about the "box of chocolates" quote but decided against it because i thought it might be trite. i like it though!!</p>

<p>i did "toto, i'm afraid we're not in kansas anymore"... boring shmoring</p>

15

<p>


</p>

<p>So if someone puts "Guns. Lots of Guns." as their favorite quote from the Matrix, no one will be reminded of the VA-tech incident?</p>

16

<p>At admissions guy who visited my school said the most common quote is the forest gump one...</p>

17

<p>THIS IS SPARTA</p>

<p>-Leonidas, 300</p>

18

<p>"Ain't Nuthin' But A Peanut"
-Ronnie Coleman: The Cost of Redemption</p>

19

<p>Oooh the Ferris Bueller one is good!</p>

<p>"I put a ludicrously offensive website as my favorite >_>"</p>

<p>2 Girls 1 Cup? J/p...</p>

<p>My quote is a maxim that I'd prefer not to share online. [It's nice, but I don't want it stolen.]
Problems:
i It is from one of the very few movies I have ever seen at all.
ii I usually discourage the use of most maxims.
Both i and ii are points that come out in my application. Will I be seen as inconsistent, or sophisticated?</p>
