Dennis Hopper 1957
I did not see every work Dennis Hopper was in--yet--but the ones I did see stuck with me. These are a few of my favorites quotes from Apocalypse Now, 1979.
"He likes you because you're still alive."
"He likes you because you're still alive."
"What are they gonna say about him? What are they gonna say? That he was a kind man? That he was a wise man? That he had plans, man? That he had wisdom? Bullshit, man!"
"There's mines over there, there's mines over there, and watch out those goddamn monkeys bite, I'll tell ya."
"Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man! I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas... " [ND: Joseph Conrad was a fucking genius]
And finally, Dennis Hopper's cryptic reaction to the end of the TV series, LOST:
"This is the way the fucking world ends! Look at this fucking shit we're in, man! Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm fucking splitting, Jack."
