Dialogues from movies, Lines from books make interesting Status messages on the IM's. I have one from 'Blue Umbrella' - 'उधार प्रेम की कैंची है !' on my Gtalk.
Some just get imprinted on the invisible notepad of mind. Stark realities in simple words. Sometimes, reflect the state of mind. And keeps lingering in the sub concious for long!
They make you stretch beyond the limits of your thoughts. Guys who write them are absolute genuises. But, Hey - Does that mean they have such clarity of thought? Not until millions of readers/viewers recognize the dialogues, the effort is futile!
So, who makes a dialogue great? The one who writes it or the one who appreciates it?
Dont Know the answer for that one! But here are some of my fave dialogues.
From Hitch
"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. "
From Rang De Basanti
"Hamara ek paav future mein hain, ek paav past mein, isiliye hum apne present pe muut rahe hai"
From Anand
"Babumoshay, Zindagi badi honi chahiye; lambi nahi"
More to be continued later.
