Only Quotes

This is something I wanted to do for a long time. Movie quotes amaze me. I still don’t understand what goes on behind coming up with a classic quote which inspires further quotes. Some of them might be ‘adapted’ from the works in the previous centuries. But all in all, they’re aptly used and leave a lasting impression. This section on Quotes will be used to note down any arbit quotes – not just movie quotes but absolutely anything that I find interesting in the spur of the moment.

The key to understanding is to understand what “vestal’s  lot” means in this context. Here it refers to a virgin’s mind  sworn to celibacy and to remain separate from the world. So – she is blameless. Forgetting the world and forgotten by the world because of no social or carnal obligation. Her mind spotless – untouched by sin — meaning both sex and the other dealings with the social world which dirty the mind and the soul. Her prayers are accepted, because she has devoted herself to the holy life.Each wish resign’d is intriguing. I’d like to read it in reference to the unconsummated love affair with Abelard (and by extension each love affair given up by her vows). She has given up those wishes.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is surely one of the top 5 movies in my book. One of the finest you’d see in recent times.Also, I happened to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid a few days ago. One quote stood out, which really makes an impact in the context of the movie.

On the sheer weight of quotes, Casablanca is head and shoulders above the rest. Will perhaps once dedicate an entire post to Casablanca quotes. No other movie has had an impact on social & entertainment spheres as Casablanca. But we’ll keep it for some other day.

It seems that he's written something new. Aha ! :P
