How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Groundhog Day.
Quote #1
PHIL: I wake up every day right here in Punxsutawney and it's always February 2. And there's nothing I can do about it.
When Phil realizes that he'll never escape Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, he develops a crippling depression because he feels like nothing he does matters. It's only later when he realizes he should become good for its own sake that his life has meaning.
Quote #2
PHIL [about God]: Maybe He's not omnipotent. He's just been around so long He knows everything.
Phil develops an interesting theory about God after he has relived Groundhog Day and bunch of times. He figures that maybe God is just like him. He's not some supernatural and all-powerful being. He's just some guy who's been around so long he knows way more than anyone else.
