2. THERES MORE TO LIFE THAN YOUR CAREER Photo: Hook / TriStar Pictures (1991) 3. We have a few special years with our children, when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast Peter. It's a few years, and it's over. Moira Banning (Peters wife) Photo: Hook / TriStar Pictures (1991) 4. PURSUE YOUR PASSION Photo: Dead Poets Society / Buena Vista Pictures (1989) 5. We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. John Keating Photo: Dead Poets Society / Buena Vista Pictures (1989) 6. CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO Photo: Good Morning, Vietnam / Buena Vista Pictures (1987) 7. What are you afraid of, sir? That people might find out theres a war going on? Adrian Cronauer Photo: Good Morning, Vietnam / Buena Vista Pictures (1987) 8. FIND CREATIVE SOLUTIONS Photo: Mrs. Doubtfire / Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (1993) 9. I'm a hip old granny who can hip-hop, bebop, dance til ya drop and yo yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa. Mrs. Doubtfire Photo: Mrs. Doubtfire / Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (1993) 10. EVERYONE DESERVES RESPECT Photo: Bicentennial Man / Buena Vista Pictures (1999) 11. To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity. Andrew Martin Photo: Bicentennial Man / Buena Vista Pictures (1999) 12. ITS A JUNGLE OUT THERE Photo: Jumanji / TriStar Pictures (1995) 13. You think that mosquitos, monkeys, and lions are bad? That is just the beginning. I've seen things you've only seen in your nightmares. Things you can't even imagine Afraid? You don't even know what afraid is. You would not last five minutes without me. Alan Parrish Photo: Jumanji / TriStar Pictures (1995) 14. ITS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, ITS WHO YOU KNOW Photo: Aladdin / Walt Disney Pictures (1992) 15. Genie: Im free! I'm free. Quick. Quick, wish for something outrageous. Say, "I I want the Nile." Wish for the Nile. Try that. Aladdin: Uh, I wish for the Nile. Genie: No way! OH, does that feel good! Photo: Aladdin / Walt Disney Pictures (1992) 16. TAKE RISKS Photo: Good Will Hunting / Miramax Films (1997) 17. No, I'm not kiddin' you, Will. That's why I'm not talkin' right now about some girl I saw at a bar twenty years ago and how I always regretted not going over and talking to her. I don't regret the 18 years I was married to Nancy. I don't regret the six years I had to give up counseling when she got sick. And I don't regret the last years when she got really sick. And I sure as hell don't regret missin' the damn game. Sean Maguire Photo: Good Will Hunting / Miramax Films (1997) 18. FIND REASONS TO LAUGH Photo: Patch Adams / United International Pictures (1998) 19. What's wrong with death sir? What are we so mortally afraid of? Why can't we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity, and decency, and God forbid, maybe even humor. Patch Adams Photo: Patch Adams / United International Pictures (1998) 20. NEVER LOSE HOPE Photo: Jakob the Liar / Sony Pictures Entertainment (1999) 21. Hunger for hope may be worse than hunger for food. Jakob Heym Photo: Jakob the Liar / Sony Pictures Entertainment (1999) 22. Robin Williams 1951-2014 R.I.P. "You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
