9 Quotes From 'V for Vendetta' That Prove How Amazing It Is

Have you ever seen the movie "V for Vendetta"?

If you answer is 'yes,' then you understand how truly amazing the movie is. If your answer is 'no,' then free up some time because you have a movie to watch!

"V for Vendetta" is a dystopian film based on the Alan Moore and David Lloyd produced "V for Vendetta" comic. The 2006 film was directed by James McTeigue and the screenplay was written by the Wachowski Brothers. The film is set in the late 2020s where a neo-fascist government has taken over the United Kingdom. The main characters are V, an anarchist, and Evey, a woman who is rescued by V on the night of his revolution.

Here are 9 quotes from the movie that prove how amazing the film is:

1. "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."



2. "While the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth."


3. "People should not be afraid of their government, government should be afraid of their people."



4. "There are no coincidences, only the illusion of coincidences."


5. “The past can't hurt you anymore. Not unless you let it. They made you into a victim, Evey. They made you into a statistic. But, that's not the real you. That's not who you are inside.”



6. "That's it! See, at first I thought it was hate, too. Hate was all I knew, it built my world, it imprisoned me, taught me how to eat, how to drink, how to breathe. I thought I'd die with all my hate in my veins. But then something happened. It happened to me... just as it happened to you."



7. "A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having."


8. "Beneath this mask there is more than flesh Mr Creedy. Beneath this mask there is an idea. And ideas are bulletproof."

9. "We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
