"One creature...caught...caught in a place he cannot stir from in the dark. Alone,outnumbered hundreds to one. Nothing to live for...but his memories....."-The Omega Man,1971.
"Reason only satisfies man's rational requirements. Desire,on the other hand,encompasses everything. Desire is life."-The Gambler,1974.
"Guilty?That's just something someone says in court when their luck runs out."-The Onion Field,1979.
"Out of rats alley,where dead men lost their bones. T.S.Eliot turns out to be as good a prophet as he was a poet."-The Omega Man-1971.

"Its spring time out there slugger. You best go find out who you are,(finger snaps)come on...................................now what's wrong with you,you old buzzard,now come on. Don't be afraid. Out there you can kick up the dust. You can dance to fiddle music,watch the alfalfa bloom. If you like,you can see gold teeth,taste sweet whiskey or red-eyed gravey.
The air breaths easy,the nights move faster,..and you tell time by the clock. You don't want to be a jailbird all your life,do you-hmm? You're a highballing sparrow. So you fly high,old cock. Go out there and you bite the stars for me. Find yourself a fat mama and make yourself a family. You hear?.................................................................................Beat it."-Birdman Of Alcatraz,1962.

I wonder if you could write a poem solely on quotes, and make it tangible.
Not sure about that,..I suppose it could be done😊🍻✌️
Interesting to read as I watched few movies before. Will do so now during retirement.

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door” in The Crow (film) Edgar Allan Poe The Raven
