Movie Quotes with Tom Hanks

Quote from The Circle:

"I am a believer in the perfectibility of human beings. When we are our best selves the possibilities are endless. At The Circle there isn't a problem that we cannot solve. We can cure a disease and we can end hunger without secrets, without the hoarding of knowledge and information. We can finally realize our potential. We will see it all, if it happens, we'll know. Imagine the human rights implications. The needs to be accountable. So many of our lies that get us in trouble, the things we hide. We care about everybody you care about, because knowing is good. But knowing everything is better."

Quote from Bridge of Spies:

Rudolf Abel: "Standing there like that, you reminded me of that man when I was young. My house is overrun by boarder guard. This man, my father's friend, he was beaten. Every time they hit him, he stood back up again. They hit him harder, still he got back to his feet. I think because of this they let him live."
James Donovan: "And I remind you if him?"
Rudolf Abel: "Standing man... standing man..."

Quote from Bridge of Spies:

Donovan: "Hoffman is the agent, right?"
Hoffman: "I am."
Donovan: "German descent..."
Hoffman: "Yes, so what?"
Donovan: "My name is Donovan, Irish, on both sides of father and mother. I am Irish, you are German. But what makes us Americans? Just one thing, a one, a... the rulebook. We call it the Constitution and agree to the rules, and that's what makes us Americans. It is everything that makes us Americans."

"Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

Quote from Cloud Atlas:

"Belief, like fear or love, is a force to be understood as we understand the Theory of Relativity and Principles of Uncertainty: phenomenon that determine the course of our lives. Yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Yesterday I believed that I would never have done what I did today. These forces that often remake time and space, that can shape and alter who we imagine ourselves to be, begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment. At each point of intersection, each encounter suggests a new potential direction."
