Movie quote from: 200 Cigarettes (1999) - Kevin (Paul Rudd)

Never say that things don't change.  Even the Germans have decided to recognize the problems of second-hand smoke.  Cigarettes will still be allowed in the pubs and bars but politicians have conceded that perhaps smoking in schools and public sites is not good for the health of the nation.

Movie quote from: A Prairie Home Companion (2006) - G.K. (Garrison Keillor)  

In his movie, 'A Prairie Home Companion' (2006), Garrison Keillor casually comments that, "Every show is your last show. That's my philosophy." This is a wise way to view the world. Once you appreciate that nothing lasts forever, you are more likely to make sure you get full value out of each remaining day.

Movie quote from: The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) - Georgia Lorrison (Lana Turner)

In Vincente Minnelli's 1952 classic, 'The Bad and the Beautiful', a producer's ruthless professional practices have left many former colleagues unwilling to work with him.

Movie quote from: Van Wilder (2002) - Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds)

Reel Life Wisdom Quote from: The Player (1992) - Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins)

Robert Altman died today at the age of 81. He was a risk-taker in film whose willingness to assemble great actors and let them improvise has resulted in some great films (M.A.S.H., McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Gosford Park) and some very good ones (Nashville, The Player, A Prairie Home Companion).

Reel Life Wisdom Quote from: The Philadelphia Story (1940) - Tracy Lord (Katherine Hepburn)

People are dynamic beings. We change and adapt over time. For some, this change is unfortunate.  Personality and spirit can decay during a streak of disquieting events and/or negative influences. For others, the change over time is great. Years of positive people and free-spiritedness can puts a real snap back into a person's step.  Whatever another person experiences, we must accept that they will change over time.
