How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Quote #10
CAMERON: You know, that whole time, I was just thinking things over. I was, like—I was, like, meditating. Then I sort of watched myself from inside. I realized it was ridiculous, being afraid, worrying about everything, wishing I was dead, all that s***. I'm tired of it. This is the best day of my life.
Did somebody say catharsis? All it took was a daytrip to Chicago, an emotional breakdown, and a dip in an unsuspecting stranger's backyard pool for Cameron to have an epiphany and realize it's time to stop being afraid.
Quote #11
CAMERON: Good. My father will come home; he'll see what I did. I can't hide this. He'll come home; he'll see what I did. He'll have to deal with me. I don't care. I really don't. I'm just tired of being afraid. Hell with him. I can't wait to see the look on the bastard's face.
Cameron is no longer filled with fear—he's filled with fight. Nobody puts Cameron in a corner anymore.
