Two Types of Tragedies

"There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it."
Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), Lord of War (Widescreen)

You Are What You Love

“You are what you love, not what loves you.”
Charlie Kaufman (Nicolas Cage), Adaptation

The Problem with Dream Girls

"The problem with dating dream girls is that they have a tendency to become real."
Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), Lord of War (Widescreen)

Broken Compass

“His moral compass doesn’t exactly point north.”
Balthazar Blake (Nicholas Cage), The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Love Makes a Mess

"Love don't make things nice -- it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die."
Ronny Cammareri (Nicolas Cage), Moonstruck

Better than Eternity

"I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One."
Seth (Nicolas Cage), City of Angels (Snap Case)

Goodness Amongst Evil

"9/11 showed us what human beings are capable of. The evil, yeah, sure. But it also brought out the goodness we forgot could exist. People taking care of each other for no other reason than it was the right thing to do. It's important for us to talk about that good, to remember. 'Cause I saw all of it that day."
John McLaughlin (Nicolas Cage), World Trade Center (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]
