Ask just about anything...
to grab enough attention!
Maybe that is what must
have prompted the official 'team' to ask a question 'what's your
favorite movie quote?'
Then, it's up to me, to
match the challenge with “Answer with just about anything... to
grab adequate awareness”.... (my hidden agenda... ethical
cunningness!)
Yes, by the grace of Madam
Lady-Luck, even the dialogue I quoted is genuinely one of my favorite
ones... (Just that the 'embellishment' of 'explain-why?' came
out... only as I wrote it out...)...
Here, when I share it, I
just liked to share the possibility that if we only are ready to
try, we can maintain that 'spiritual awareness' alongside every
activity, and thereby keep growing too!
(The question is open as I
write this... if there is an itch, we can reach there... and if we
are late, have a treat, glancing through some of the punch dialogues
of those English movies, poured in by movie buffs!.. I give the
link, question, and my answer herein below!)

Question
What is your
favorite quote from a movie, and why?
Sometimes in conversation
we find ourselves quoting movies all the time. Some we know well, and
some we don't. So we wanted to ask you, what's your favorite quote or
quotes? And don't forget to tell us why!
My answer:
"What is admirable in
large-scale is monstrous in small..!!!"
Dialogue by Mr.Omar Shariff
Movie: "The Night of the Generals"
It was in reply to the 'taunt' "Oh! Murder is their profession" (Hero was investigating a charge of murder allegedly comitted by a superior officer--A General! The hotel manager was asked to give some detais)..
Why I like this quote:
Often we, as emotional beings, get caught up with the situation and tend to forget core human values!
This dialogue brings a sharp contract between the extremes of such values, for the very same act!
The greatest war ever fought, as per ancient epics , was the Mahabharatha... And right on the battle ground was the 'song divine' delivered to the greatest ever warrior Arjuna... It was the Lord himself, who explained the "converse" of this dialogue, when Arjuna saw all "his" dear ones lined up on the opposite side, and "felt" that if they get killed even in a fair fight at his hands, he would perhaps end up 'murdering' his own dear elders (Grandfather Bhishma!), teacher (Guru Drona), and thus committing a grave sin! None other than Bhagawan Krishna had to clarify this deep confusion!
This dialogue for me, looks like 'converse theorem of that highest teaching'! Hats off to the script-writer, and of course the hero for his flawless tone, mannerism, deep piercing eyes, subtle emphasis while uttering this dialogue "What's Admirable in Large-scale , is.... Monstrous in small!!!"
