"But I love you, and before you say it words do matter. They’re not pointless. If they were pointless then they couldn’t start revolutions and they wouldn’t change history and they wouldn’t be the things that you think about every night before you go to sleep. If they were just words we wouldn’t listen to songs, we wouldn’t beg to be read to when we’re kids. If they were just words, then they’d have no meaning and stories wouldn’t have been around since before humans could write. We wouldn’t have learned to write. If they were just words then people wouldn’t fall in love because of them, feel bad because of them, ache because of them, stop aching because of them, have sex, quite a lot of the time, because of them."

Slide. Contemporary art. Now, that’s just an advertisement. Quiet! Today you just listen…What will the future scholars see when they study us? A portrait of woman today? There you are, ladies. The perfect likeness of a Wellesley graduate. Magna cum laude, doing exactly what she was trained to do. Slide. A Rhodes scholar. I wonder if she recites Chaucer while she presses her husband’s shirts. Slide. Ha ha. Now, you physics majors can calculate the mass and volume of every meatloaf you make! Slide! “A girdle, to set you free!” WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! …What does that mean? What does it mean? …I give up. You win. The smartest woman in the country. I didn’t realize that by demanding excellence, I would be challenging…what did it say? What did it say? “The roles you were born to fill.” Is that right? …The roles you were born to fill?
That’s, uh…it’s my mistake…Class dismissed.

"We like companionship, see, but we can’t stand to be around people for very long. So we go get ourselves lost, come back for a while, then get the hell out again."

“I think you really should make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.”

"He read a lot. Used a lot of big words. I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often."

You are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from human relationships. God’s placed it all around us, it’s in everything, in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at those things.

“There’s some kind of bigger thing that we can all appreciate, and it sounds like you don’t mind calling it God. But when you forgive, you love. And when you love, God’s light shines on you.”

“And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.”
Into the Wild (2007) dir. Sean Penn
