Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman

After watching Spider-Man 3 at the cinema and subsequently Spider-Man 1 and 2 on Channel 5, I feel damn pumped up about the lessons we can learn from the Spider-Man series. Here are some quotes which I took from the imdb website. Enjoy!

Spider Man 1

Uncle Ben: Remember, with great power. comes great responsibility.

Spider Man 2

Amazed Kid: [after two kids see Peter use his "spider" reflexes] How'd you do that?
Peter Parker: Uh... Work out, plenty of rest. You know, eat your green vegetables.
Amazed Kid: That's what my mom is always saying. I just actually never believed her.

May Parker: We need a hero, courageous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero, people line up for 'em, cheer for them, scream their names, and years later tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who told them to HOLD ON a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble. And finally gets us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want most, even our dreams.

[Doc Ock clamps a tentacle on Peter's neck and glares at him]
Peter Parker: You once spoke to me about intelligence... you said it was a gift to be used for the greater good...
Doc Ock: A privilege...
Peter Parker: These things have turned you into something else... don't listen to THEM...
Doc Ock: It was my dream...
Peter Parker: Sometimes... to do what's right... we must be steady... and give up the things we desire the most... even our dreams.
Doc Ock: You're right.

Spider Man 3

Aunt May: Before you can begin fixing anything, you must first start by doing the hardest thing... forgiving yourself.

Aunt May: Uncle Ben wouldn't want us living with revenge in our hearts, it's like a poison. It can take you over and turn us into something ugly.

Mary Jane Watson: We've all done terrible things to each other, but we have to forgive each other. Or everything we ever were will mean nothing.

Peter Parker: I don't need your help.
Mary Jane Watson: Everybody needs help sometimes, Peter. Even Spider-Man.

Peter Parker: I don't know what to do...
Aunt May: I'm sure you'll find it within yourself to do the right thing.

And my favourite quote:

Peter Parker: Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. My friend Harry taught me that. He chose to be the best of himself. It’s the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what’s right.

We all have a choice to do what's right. We can choose to sleep early and get sufficient rest. We can choose to avoid the oily fried chicken and stay healthy. We can choose to study and improve our grades instead of doing time-wasting activities (like playing Diablo 2). It's the choices we make which determine who we are and what we become. Damn Harry is a really good friend.

Anonymous commented at 5:26 PM~: I agree, the best quotes! I watched Spidey 3 last night. I really like what we can learn from it. I could have seen it only now, and I really appreciate what it is about: about friends, about the right choise we always can make (in particular the quote you prefer! I really like it!), about forgiveness.

I think that the best quote of spidey 3 is connected to the best quote of spidey 2: "Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice...It’s the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what’s right..." (Spiderman 3) --> "Sometime to do what's right we have to be steady and give up the the things we want the most, even our dreams.." (Spiderman 2)
