Everything I Ever Needed To Know I Learned From Nicholas Cage
What’s the point of being a teenager if you can’t dress weird? *** There’s right and there’s right and never the twain shall meet. *** Sometimes it’s a hard world for small things *** We figured there was too much happiness here for just the two of us, so we figured the next logical step was to have us a critter. *** If not Arizona, then a land not too far away. Where all parents are strong and wise and capable. And all children are happy and beloved. I don’t know. Maybe it was Utah. *** Don’t want to get caught, shouldn’t be a thief. *** People get married and then they do the most hideous, unbelievable things to each other. *** Yellow then red. Yellow then red. Yellow then red. Yellow then red. Yellow then red. Yellow then red. Yellow then red. Yellow then red. Yellow then red. *** Put… the bunny… back… in the box. *** There’s only two men I trust. One of them’s me. The other’s not you. *** Many hands make light work. My father taught me that. *** Some things are true whether you believe in them or not. *** I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts. *** Without disappointment you cannot appreciate victory. *** Two Rogers don’t make a right. *** Rule no. 1: Don’t work where you live. Rule no. 2: Don’t write anything down. *** For some people, money is a foreign film without subtitles. *** If there’s something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action. ***A toast? Yeah. To high treason. That’s what these men were committing when they signed the Declaration. Had we lost the war, they would have been hanged, beheaded, drawn and quartered, and-Oh! Oh, my personal favorite-and had their entrails cut out and burned! *** Here’s to the men who did what was considered wrong, in order to do what they knew was right. *** You know something I’ve noticed about fishing? It never works out so well for the bait. *** I don’t want to be remembered at all. That means I’m dead. *** There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it. *** The problem with dating dream girls is that they have a tendency to become real. *** They say, “Evil prevails when good men fail to act.” What they ought to say is, “Evil prevails.” *** That’s the secret to survival. Never go to war. Especially with yourself. *** Any friend of my brothers’ is a… a friend of my brothers’. *** You can’t force someone to fall in love with you but, you can definitely improve your odds. *** My daddy once said, “If you don’t make a choice, the choice makes you.” *** You cannot live in fear. *** Here is the thing about the future. Every time you look at, it changes, because you looked at it, and that changes everything else.

Great quotes. Nicolas Cage is a personal favorite of mine, although he seems to be consuming himself as an actor.

Well, I was surprised at how dark and sad many of his roles are.
