Memorable Quotes from
Harold and Maude (1971)
Harold: What were you fighting for?
Maude: Oh, Big Issues. Liberty. Rights. Justice.
Kings died and kingdoms fell.
You know, I don't regret the kingdoms--I see no sense in borders and nations
and patriotism--but I do miss the kings.

Maude: What kind of flower would you like to be?
Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe.
Maude: Why do you say that?
Harold: Because they're all alike.
Maude: Oh, but they're NOT! Look. See, some are smaller; some are fatter;
some grow to the left, some to the right; some even have lost some petals.
All kinds of observable differences! You see, Harold, I feel that much of the
world's sorrow comes from people who are *this*, yet allow themselves to be treated as *that*.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maude: A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they're not dead, really. They're just...
backing away from life. Reach out. Take a chance. Get hurt, even! Play as well as you can.
Go team! GO! Give me an L! Give me an I! Give me a V! Give me an E! L. I. V. E. LIVE!
...Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.

Then he found they were only seagulls.

Harold: You sure have a way with people.
Maude: Well, they're my species!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harold: Maude, do you pray?
Maude: Pray? No, I communicate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maude: Harold, everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves.
You can't let the world judge you too much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maude: You know, at one time, I used to break into pet shops to liberate the canaries.
But I decided that was an idea way before its time. Zoos are full, prisons are overflowing...
oh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage.
Just to get this off the ground
