(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Fans congregated online to mourn the loss of '80s teen flick director John Hughes who died at the age of 59 on Thursday in New York City.

"So many of his films spoke to me and yet made me laugh," wrote Catherin on EOnline.com. "'The Breakfast Club' was so true to life. I was in high school at that time and my friends and I could give a real-life person's name to each character. It is still one of my all time favorite films."

" He made the 80s not only tolerable, but hopeful," wrote Kathleen on LATimes.com.

Hmgardner on Twitter wrote , " How do you thank someone for writing every word that I grew up with? He wrote the script of my life! You will be missed."

Many also recalled some of the most memorable quotes from his movies like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "The Breakfast Club" and "Sixteen Candles." Among the fan favorites:

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

"That's right, I'm Abe Froman." "... the Sausage King of Chicago?"

"Save Ferris"

"Bueller? ... Bueller? ... Bueller?"

"Excuse me: if whoever was in this house is still in the house, I'd like you to know that I've just called the police. I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* case of herpes."

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

"Pretty in Pink"

"His name is Blane? Oh! That's a major appliance, that's not a name!"

"Love's a bitch, Duck. Love's a bitch. "

"Well, that's very nice. I'm glad. Well here's... here's the point, Andie. I'm not particularly concerned with whether or not you like me, because I live to like you and... and I can't like you anymore. So... so when you're feeling real low and... and dirty, and your heart is splattered all over hell, don't look to me to pump you back up 'cause... 'cause... 'cause maybe for the first time in your life I won't be there!"

"You said you couldn't be with someone who didn't believe in you. Well I believed in you. I just didn't believe in myself. I love you. Always."

"Sixteen Candles"

"I can't believe my grandmother actually felt me up."

"I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek."

"By night's end, I predict me and her will interface."

"The Breakfast Club"

"Could you describe the ruckus, sir?"

"Face it. You're a neo maxi zoom dweebie, what would you be doing if you weren't out making yourself a better citizen?"

"Eat my shorts."

"Are you crazy? -- Obviously she's crazy if she's screwing a shrink."
