10 Movie Quotes that Have Personal Meaning for Me

Movies can have a profound impact on your life. Here are a few movie quotes that have touched me personally.

The Other Boleyn Girl:

Mary is begging the King to spare her sister's life, and the King asks her why she is there for her sister who had stabbed her in the back. Mary (Scarlett Johansson) replies, "Because she is my sister, and therefore one-half of me." This movie quote is special to me because my sister and I are very close. I truly feel like she is one-half of me, and if something were to happen to her I would feel like I had lost a part of my soul.

When the King discovers Anne's feelings for him he questions her on how she feels about betraying her sister. Anne (Natalie Portman) tells him, "We are sisters, and therefore rivals." Although this movie quote contradicts Mary's feelings for her sister, this statement also has a deep meaning for me. As much as I love my sister, I do feel like we are rivals. We secretly compete to be the best. However, I would never turn my back on my sister like Anne did to Mary.

Another movie quote from The Other Boleyn Girl that I like is when Lady Elizabeth (Kristin Scott Thomas) says to her husband, "These were the rooms for the king's closest friend. His head now rots on a spike." She says this when her husband is marveling at the rooms that King Henry gave them. I have personally been a close friend with someone and then had them stab me in the back. It is a horrible feeling but you know that it is a possibility. I think everyone can relate to what Lady Elizabeth is saying because everyone has experienced it at some point or another.

Hitch:

When Hitch and Sara are making a toast Sara asks what they should toast to. Hitch (Will Smith) responds by saying, "Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away." I love this movie quote because it is really a good thing to keep in mind for your life. I cannot think of any better way to lie, steal, cheat, or drink than the ways Hitch says to. This is one of the quotes I try to live by.
