Akeelah and the Bee: Quotes

Akeelah and the Bee is a movie about smart little girl name Akeelah and her journey to win National Spelling Bee. Inspirational story with simple plot, this is a must-watched movie. This I write down several quotes from the scene.

#1
They laugh because you intimidate them. But if you'd stood your ground, you might have earned their respect. [Dr. Joshua Larabee]

#2
Akeelah Anderson: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. (Quoting Marianne Williamson)
Dr. Joshua Larabee: Does that mean anything to you?
Akeelah Anderson: I don't know.
Dr. Joshua Larabee: It's written in plain English. What does it mean?
Akeelah Anderson: That I'm not supposed to be afraid.
Dr. Joshua Larabee: Afraid of what?
Akeelah Anderson: Afraid of... me?

#3
The people we are studying: DuBois, Dr. King, JFK; these people used words to change the world. And they didn't acquire their vocabulary by rote memorization. [Dr. Joshua Larabee]

#4
You know, Akeelah, you ain't short on people who want to help you. I bet if you just look around, you got 50,000 coaches. Starting with me. [Tanya Anderson]

#5
You know that feeling where everything feels right? Where you don't have to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, but you feel safe and know you're doing the best you can? There's a word for that feeling. It's called love. L- O-V-E. And it's what I feel for all my family, and all my coaches in my neighborhood, where I come from, where I learned how to spell. [Akeelah Anderson]
