Oftentimes, we return from a theatre taking back a piece of the character we saw on screen or some lines just hit home for their harsh honesty and remain with us for life.

Here are a few dialogues which brutally rip the fantasy world of movies with the blade of reality:

1. "It's funny. On the outside, I was an honest man. Straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook."

2. "As you know, madness is like gravity...all it takes is a little push."

The Dark Knight

- Joker

3. "Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for', I agree with the second part."

Seven

Giphy

-William Somerset

4. "Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you."

-Tyrion Lannister

5. "Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours."

-Clementine Kruczynski

6. "You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world… but you do have some say in who hurts you."

8. "I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters."

9. "Don't fight in the North or the South. Fight every battle everywhere, always, in your mind. Everyone is your enemy, everyone is your friend. Every possible series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you."

-Petyr Baelish

10. "The world is not a wish granting factory."

The Fault In Our Stars

Giphy

-Augustus

11. "But you can't get away from yourself. You can't decide not to see yourself anymore. You can't decide to turn off the noise in your head."

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
