The best lines of all time


Seeing that The Big Lead is doing a list of the best sports movies of all time today, we thought we'd throw out our list of the best lines of all time, movie and otherwise.

1.) "Love goes toward love like schoolboys from their books, but love from love, toward school with heavy looks."

2.) "I'll never let go, Jack."
Titanic
Translation: Ha ha, hope you like the bottom of the ocean. By the way, thanks for the necklace.

The Simpsons
Translation: I like stories.

4.) "God only knows what I'd be without you."
