Eight pages of four dudes posting each other's quotes. There's offtopic and there's just plain spam.
I thought it was fairly obvious that these quotes aren't from the posters that have been attributed to. It is just a vehicle for myself to use some quotes from literature, cinema and music lyrics.

I remember my dad had all this cash. He thought maybe we could buy our way onto a plane, even though cash was completely useless. Ten thousand other people had the same idea. The crowd was surging.

You couldn't get away, you could only climb, climb over more people. So I did that. So I climbed, I climbed on top of more people. I got up on top of this kiosk. Looking down you couldn't tell which faces were infected and which weren't. Then I saw my dad. Not my mom or my sister. My dad. I saw his face... Selena's right. You should be grateful.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
I work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I'm smarter than most of the people who go there. Sometimes I see an equation written on a blackboard like half an equation and... I just figure it out.
Is this Good Will Hunting?
No.
It sounds a lot like the plot of Good Will Hunting.
Yeah, anyway. My best friend is Ben Affleck...

What started off as a vague idea to make up stuff directly opposite to what a few people would say as a bit of a tease has kinda taken off. I then just started assigning quotes to people who contributed to the thread that kept it alive, as I won't self bump threads but am happy to respond.
