Man, You William, You too scared man.... — Finding Forrester

"The key to a womans heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time."

"Why is it that the words that we write for ourselves are always so much better than the words we write for others?"

"Ill take poor assumptions for $800, Alex"

"[Jamal opens the letter] Dear Jamal, Someone I once knew wrote that we walk away from our dreams afraid that we may fail or worse yet, afraid we may succeed. You need to know that while I knew so very early that you would realize your dreams, I never imagined I would once again realize my own. Seasons change young man, and while I may have waited until the winter of my life, to see the things Ive seen this past year, there is no doubt I would have waited too long, had it not been for you."

"[to Jamal] What you write in this apartment stays in this apartment. No exceptions."

"No thinking — that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!"
