the first cut is not the deepest. the first cut is nothing. you can spit in my face once or twice, and it is nothing. you can take something away from me, and i can learn to live without it. but you cannot take everything that belongs to me, one thing at a time until you have got down to reaching for my eyes, my heart, and my soul. you cannot do this and say that it is nothing.

years ago i made a song with this sample. after a HD-crash i lost it and after googling for hours and hours i'm still no closer to finding the movie i got it from. there are a few results on google that say it's either from 'Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story' or 'Our deepest fear'. i watched the first one but nothing(oh the pun) and i'm unable to find 'our deepest fear' (apart from that it seems to be the subtitle for a movie called 'Primal fear' which i'm currently watching).
what i also found out is that it's a quote from jack henry abbott's book 'In the Belly of the Beast' which also has a movie that was based on it called 'Ghosts... of the civil dead' but that one also doesnt seem to be the one. so now i'm basically going nuts and am hoping someone here knows where this is from

 

maybe it was this "redemption" movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303387/

 

not sure how i missed that one... thanx gonna try to check it out

 

I did some googlin and found a post saying that the quote itself is from a book called "In the Belly of the Beast" by Jack Henry Abbott. Not sure if thats correct but could be of some help :/

ah right i remember why i didnt look into that one, some post said it was jamie foxx that said it and he played stan in redemption: the stan tookie williams story.

 

yeah that's some of the info i found as well, but cant find anything about movies made from his books other than ghosts... of the civil dead

 

whoa, this 'ghosts...of the civil dead' is a weird one.

 

really weird yeah, think i made it for about 20 mins and then had to press stop, which also made me realize this prolly wasnt the movie

 

Instresting!
Here's some movie script/quote search engines. Try and see what you can find as none of them load up for me and idk why

still no luck, gonna continue my search again tonight and tomorrow

 

What a quote... and with your music I'm sure as hell you will do a killer track with it... good luck in the search, Statik

 

If you are on FB check these groups and ask them. I'm pretty sure they will help you somehow:
Sound Crate
Vinyl Frontier
Sample Sharing
Sunday Sample Crunch

Cheers

 

still had no luck, it's starting to get rather frustrating

 

have you considered to just record yourself or some friend reading the quote? :D
maybe just as a placeholder until you'll eventually find the original...

 

yeah i did consider using the speechsynth from plogue or as you said having someone read it out loud, i just dont think it will have the same impact as the sample has, it had a lot of emotion in it

 

It sounds quite bizarre. I'm pretty sure to have heard that in an other movie than Ghosts...of, but not in those the related in this thread... Maybe a director stole the whole sentence. Going to try to find it by my side. stay tuned

yeah i'm pretty sure the movie didnt have anything to do with the book belly of the beast.
thanks man, highly appreciated that you're giving it a shot

 

So I didn't find anything more on the web for the moment. Do you still have your song, or it's also gone with your HD ? it may be helped listening to the actor's voice. At least, if I remember where else I heard the quotes, you'll be the first to know it.

 

OMG if this is true i'm going to make sweet love to you by the fireplace, downloading it now
