Quotable quotes

After a series of recruitment related posts and stuff which angered me, I decided to do something sweet. Give the world some memorable all time favorite quotes from famous Hollywood movies. Some would really shake you off, boil your blood or ignite something beautiful out of you, so read through.

Countdown

At no. 10 is a dialogue from "The Dark Knight" by 'Lucius Fox', character who plays a good samaritarian in the movie by helping Batman. This one is for all the Blackmailers out there:

Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands. And your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck.


At no. 9 is a quote from "Spiderman" by Peter Parker's Uncle (Ben). It is a favorite and most mocked at sentence

With great power comes great responsibility


At no. 8 is a dialogue from "The Matrix" by 'Agent Smith'. I like this one because it degrades Humans to the lowest point. A very bold dialogue.

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.


At no. 7 we have something again from the movie "The Dark Knight" by the Batman. It gives out the simple secret of how heroes turn into villians. Here it goes

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

At no. 6 we have the movie "Shrek" and the quote by 'Donkey' who knows the meaning of wasteful efforts.

Okay, let me get this straight: you gonna go fight a dragon and rescue a princess just so Farquaad'll give you back your swamp, which you only don't have 'cos he filled it full of freaks in the first place, is that about right?


At no. 5, a quote from "Ratatouille" by the character 'Collete' who reminds us about Bosses and Bossing around

No! You waste energy and time! You think cooking is a cute job, eh? Like Mommy in the kitchen? Well, Mommy never had to face the dinner rush while the orders come flooding in, and every dish is different and none are simple, and all different cooking time, but must arrive at the customer's table at exactly the same time, hot and perfect! Every second counts and you CANNOT be MOMMY!


At no. 4, the most voracious dialogue I've ever heard, this tongue twister is from the movie "V for Vendetta" and the dialogue is by the character who calls himself 'V'. Why does he call himself V: here's why

VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me "V".


At no. 3, is a quote again from "V for Vendetta" and again by 'V'. One of the favorite quotes which causes fury and blood boiling and should never be uttered.

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

At no. 2, a quote by Spiderman in the movie "Spiderman", this quote tries to bring out the real you, possibly an answer to the toughest question in the world. Here it goes

Who am I? Are you sure you want to know? If someone told you I was just your average ordinary guy without a care in the world, somebody lied. Truth is it wasn't always like this. There was a time when life was a lot less complicated.

And finally at NO.1 , the most outrageous and mind twisting dialogue between 'Morpheus' and 'Neo' from "THE MATRIX" which compells everyone to think.

Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
Morpheus: I know *exactly* what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Lazy recruiter

After placement hoaxes comes the turn of some 'lazy recruiters'. The term used here can be defined as follows : A recruiter who wants to hire top notch performers but doesn't want to spend time, money or any other resource. Instead uses someone else's hard work to achieve its goal of hiring top graduates.

There are many such recruiters, God knows the exact number. But, one of them surfaced recently.

The name is Bosch, Robert Bosch !!!


Check out this ad they placed in freshers world.

What does the recruiter want to convey from this ad? Does the company deserve any regards from the general public at all? Does the general public have any opinion at all?

Disgusting piece of crap loaded shithead faced HR managers of such companies should jump in an empty well and their dead corpes should be fed to the vultures!!

Placement Hoaxes

This post is dedicated to all the jobless engineers who dream to 'cut the cake' one fine day and sit in an A/c cooled office. The dream leads to 'need' and 'want' and 'desire'. But, these guys seem to have forgotten Buddha's teachings
"Desire is the root cause of misery"

Well, the misery comes in from the fact that people out there are waiting for opportunities to pounce upon. A simple fact like this can be used to churn out money if one can think spontaneously like a fox. This gives rise to scam and 'hoax'.

One such hoax was the 'Mega job fair'. The website details are given below

People who turned up at the college were disappointed not to see Infosys, Wipro and etc big shots. Alternatively, some companies like Malnad Technologies were present. Ultimately, the crowd demanded their 'registration fee of Rs 500' back and were disgusted at the treatment by the organising committee. Police had to intervene and finally Rs 300 was refunded to each student who attended the job fair.

Why only 300? Coz, apparently the organiser ran away with the money after fooling around 10,000 students.

Hope this is an eye opener for poor students who want to dream like they never dreamt before.
