A Few Monologues I Liked

Not at all an exhaustive list. Mentioning only 4 that come to my mind now.

Jack Nicholson, A Few Good Men (1992)

You can’t handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know – that Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.

Samuel L Jackson, Pulp Fiction (1994)

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Mel Gibson, Braveheart (1995)

You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? Aye, fight and you may die, run and you’ll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance. Just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!

Robert Duvall, Apocalypse Now (1979)

You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn’t find one of ‘em, not one stinkin’ dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like… victory. Someday this war’s gonna end…

Three Manager Quotes I Liked

I was going through this article wherein the author has compiled a list of 50 managerial quotes.

Top 50 Managerial Quotes Of All Time

I read only the top 10. Of those 10, there were 3 that I loved. They are:

  • Manchester United’s Sir Alex Ferguson
  • My greatest challenge is not what’s happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch. And you can print that.
  • Liverpool’s Bill Shankly
  • Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I’m very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
  • Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho
  • Please don’t call me arrogant, but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one.
