J.R.R Tolkin
- Bilbo Baggins
Remember what Bilbo used to say, it's a dangerous business Frodo, going out your door, you step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you'll be swept off to.
LOTR FOTR
- Of the year 3434 The Second Age
The year 3434 of the second age, here follows the account of Isildur, High King of Gondor, and the finding of the ring of power. It has come to me, the "One Ring", it shall be an heirloom of my kingdom, all those who follow in my bloodline shall be bound to its fate. For I shall risk no hurt to the ring.

Gladiator
- My Name Is..
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the armies of the north. General of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius! Father to a murdered son! Husband to a murdered wife! And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next!
Stephanie Meyer
- You Think of Me as a...
You think of me as a living stone - hard and cold. That's true. We are set the way we are, and it is very rare for us to experience a real change. When that happens, as when Bella entered my life, it is a permanent change. There's no going back.
Stephanie Meyer
- Eclipse
I was that boy, who would have - as soon as I discovered that you were what I was looking for - gotten down on one knee and endeavored to secure your hand. I would have wanted you for eternity, even when the word didn't have the same connotations.
Shakespeare
- Balcony Scene II
Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight. It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden; too like the lightning, which doth cease to be. Ere one can say "It lightens." Sweet, good night! This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Good night, good night! As sweet repose and rest, come to thy heart as that within my breast.
Shakespeare
- The Balcony Scene
With love's light wings did I o'er-peach these walls; for stony limits cannot hold love out. And what love can do that dares love attempt; therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me. 'If they do see thee, they will murder thee.' Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye, than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet, and I am proof against their enmity.
Shakespeare
- Prologue: Romeo and Juliet
Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, a pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life. Whose misadventure piteous overthrows, do with their death bury their parents' strife.
Stephanie Meyer
Then I remembered that these windows were so darkly tinted that she probably had no idea if it was even me in here, let alone that I'd caught her looking. I tried to take some comfort in the fact that she wasn't really staring at me, just the car.
