These are delightful choices! Here's one from our pal knitwit on Facebook:
"Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young".

I'll add the first one posted now and the others a bit later, but all comers are welcome. We are replacing Charlotte Vale's epiphany from Now, Voyager (1942), "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid, mother. I'm...not afraid, " with Norma Bates' comment from Psycho (1960): "A boy's best friend is his mother."

Today we will be changing the quote to a line soun beautifully by Agnes Moorehead in Citizen Kane (1941):
"I've got his trunk all packed. I've had it packed for a week now."

"Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young," the immortal lines that sprang to life with Eve Arden's sharp characterization in Mildred Pierce (1945), has been posted. Thanks for your input--and let's keep those a quips comin'...

Any summertime quotes from classic films that you could suggest?

I don't know if this is a 'summertime' quote, but it is from Summer Holiday (1948), spoken on the fourth of July:

"I always knew you could succeed if you'd just abstain. . .if you'd only. . .you know?"

How about this nugget spoken by Mrs. Venerable (Katharine Hepburn)?
