Eight Unforgettable Quotes from The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club is a definite classic. Even though the film was released back in the 1980s, nearly every teenager has watched Andrew, Claire, John (or better known as Bender), Brian, and Allison on their screens. Along with that, a lot of them can quickly recognize Simple Minds’s “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” just because it plays in the background.

A movie as powerful as this one should never be forgotten. In honor of the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal (though they’re more than their stereotypes for sure), here are eight unforgettable quotes from The Breakfast Club.

“Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us – in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basketcase, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club.”
