1st introduction and movies

Hey there. It feels weird typing as if I’m writing to someone. I have always wanted to write a blog and find uses for all those miniature writing pieces I write. I want to keep track of my writing and keep it up. I need to practice the art of creative writing and I would like to remember some little things that would just take up a post-it note on my computer desktop. 

The hard part I've found in the last half hour in writing a blog is getting started. What do you start with? Something serious? A picture? After whole minutes of scrutiny, I've decided to make a list of iconic movie quotes: ones that almost everyone recognizes even if they haven’t seen the movie. Maybe at least a start of a list. If anyone has ideas, feel free to send them to me. Other than that, here goes nothing! 

I’d like to point out how interesting it is to me that these quotes, most of the time nonsense, sticks with us. I wonder why that is. Why these words are wired into our subconscious memories such that we recognize them when other TV shows and movies reference them for comedy. 

I personally don't watch a lot of movies because I can't sit still long enough. Here are some movie quotes that I recognize without having seen many of the movies where they are spoken.
