When I was 14, my dad came home one day and told us he had cancer. It was looking pretty bad. And I remember him saying how afraid he was that he hadn't gotten to do the things he wanted to do during his life. He had surgery and survived. And he's st...
For years I heeded the warning: Do monthly breast self-exams. Like most women, I did them on a 'sort of' basis. Every few months I'd sort of do a quick feel, but never as thoroughly as the doctors urged. I didn't want to go looking for trouble. If yo...

He means as much as Roberto Clemente does to Latin people. Thank God I had the opportunity to know him. I wish my kids had the opportunity to be around him, because that's how I want my kids to live their lives. I want them to be like Stan Musial. No...

Effie Trinket: We're a team, aren't we? And I'm so proud of my victors. So proud. You're so... Well, you both deserved so much better. Katniss Everdeen: Thank you, Effie. Effie Trinket: I am truly sorry.
Dr. Petrov: [Ramius has taken the Political officers Missile key and kept it] Sir! The reason for having two keys is so that no one man may... Captain Ramius: May what, Doctor? Dr. Petrov: Arm the missiles Captain. Captain Ramius: Mmm, thank you for ...
[after exposing Slughorn's disguise] Albus Dumbledore: I must say, Horace, you make a very convincing armchair. Horace Slughorn: Oh, thank you. It's all in the upholstry. [pats his stomach] Horace Slughorn: I come about the stuffing naturally.
Samantha: You know, I can feel the fear that you carry around and I wish there was... something I could do to help you let go of it because if you could, I don't think you'd feel so alone anymore. Theodore: You're beautiful. Samantha: Thank you, Theo...
Mike Wallace: Sheikh Fadlallah. Thank you so much for seeing us. Are you a terrorist? Sheikh Fadlallah: Mr. Wallace, I am a servant of God. Mike Wallace: A servant of God? Really? Americans believe that you, as an Islamic fundamentalist, that you are...
Auda abu Tayi: When Lawrence finds what he's looking for, he will go home. When you find what you are looking for, you will go home. Colonel Brighton: I will not. Auda abu Tayi: Then you are a fool. Be thankful that when God gave you a face, he gave ...

Fozziwig: My speech! Here's my Christmas speech. Ahem. "Thank you all, and Merry Christmas." Jacob Marley: That was the speech? Robert Marley: It was dumb! Jacob Marley: It was obvious! Robert Marley: It was pointless! Jacob Marley: It was... short! ...
Bill: You know, I heard you had a tough time last year. But they say if you make one friend on your first day you're doing okay. Charlie: Thank you, sir, but if my English teacher is the only friend I make today, that would be sorta depressing.
Crabbin: [inviting Holly Martins to give a lecture at the local Cultural Reeducation Society] We do a little show each week. Last week we had "Hamlet." The week before we had... something. Sgt. Paine: The striptease, sir. Crabbin: Yes, the Hindu danc...
Jeffrey Goines: There was this guy, and he was always requesting shows that had already played. Yes. No. You have to tell her before. He couldn't quite grasp the idea that the charge nurse couldn't make it be yesterday. She couldn't turn back time, t...
Randolph Duke: Ezra. Right on time. I'll bet you thought I'd forgotten your Christmas bonus. There you are. Ezra: Five dollars. Maybe I'll go to the movies... by myself. Mortimer Duke: Half of it is from me. Ezra: Thank you, Mr. Mortimer. [mouthing s...
