QUOTES "Miracle" (2004)

Here's a classic and inspiring speech from the movie "Miracle" (2004), which is based on the true story of the 1980 United States men's Olympic hockey team, coached by Herb Brooks. This speech is delivered by Kurt Russell, who portrays Herb Brooks, to motivate his team before a crucial match against the formidable Soviet Union:

(Herb Brooks): "Great moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players—every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!"

This speech captures Herb Brooks' fiery determination and belief in his team's ability to achieve greatness against all odds, emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment and believing in their own capabilities. It's a rallying cry that resonates not just in the context of sports, but in any endeavor where individuals or teams face daunting challenges and need to draw upon their inner strength and conviction to succeed.

Belief in the miraculous often reflects humanity's desire for transcendence, meaning, and hope in the face of uncertainty and adversity. It can provide solace, inspiration, and a sense of connection to something greater than oneself, whether through religious faith, spiritual practice, or cultural tradition.
