But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice. "Oh you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" asked Alice. "You must be," said the cat, "or you wouldn't have come.
Jessica Day George
- Princess of the Midnight Ball
Rose made a face at him. "Ha! I'm a wonderful dancer! But I did promise my father no more worn-out dancing slippers." "Very well, then," Galen said. He leaned down and pulled off her shoes, tossing them over his shoulder into a lilac bush. "If I may have this dance?" Galen led Rose out onto the smooth lawn and waltzed her across the soft green ground until the sunlight died and the stars sparkled in the black night sky.
Phantom the American Musical Sensation
- Without Your Music
Here you'll be safe from all prying and vicious eyes. Safe from all venomous words and malicious lies. Sleep gentle creature, my love and my protege. As for myself, I will worship you night and day. All my existence will end if you go away.
Billy Joel
- Vienna
Slow down you're doing fine. You can't be everything you want to be before your time, although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight. Too bad, but it's the life you lead. You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need. Though you can see when you're wrong, you know you can't always see when you're right.
Aslan
- The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Yes, the children will find their way back here again. Perhaps not through the wardrobe - but there are other paths that lead to Narnia. Oh yes, they will return someday. For once a King in Narnia - always a King. Once a Queen - always a Queen. It is important that they return, for good people need good rulers. And good rulers need good people. That, perhaps, is the Deepest Magic of all.
Aunt May

What Norman said? My moral mission. No. No, Peter. Listen. You listen to me. You have a gift. You have power. And with great power, must also come great responsibility.
Barenaked Ladies

Everyone knows that he's never coming back.
Lemony Snicket
- Horseradish
Unless you have been very, very lucky, you have undoubtedly experienced events in your life that have made you cry. So unless you have been very, very lucky, you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.
Sirius Black
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things

The Villain
- Excerpt from a book I'll never write
How long do you think it would take you to break if I simply left you in a cold, dark cell to rot? Humans need company. They go a little crazy without it. You hate me so much, perhaps you'd prefer to be left on your own, hmm? I always imagined that's what death would be like. A cold, dark cell, unable to move or to do anything. Trapped in your own head with no one else to guide you out of the dark places you end up in. An eternity of conscious nothingness.
Red Band Society
- Emma Chota
I'm not better. Okay? I'm not better and I keep waiting for someone to figure that out, and they don't! I mean, of course they don't, 'cause as long as I say the right thing and I act the right way, they're happy. Because that means that they cured me, right?
The Phantom of the Opera
- Down Once More
That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me the joys of the flesh. This face, the infection which poisons our love. This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing. A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing. Pity comes too late, turn around and face your fate. An eternity of this before your eyes!
The Phantom of the Opera
- Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
Too many years fighting back tears. Why can't the past just die? Wishing you were somehow here again, knowing we must say goodbye. Try to forgive, teach me to live, give me the strength to try. No more memories, no more silent tears, no more gazing across the wasted years. Help me say goodbye.
Eli Goldsworthy
- Degrassi
No matter how much all of you want a happy ending, you can't have it. I tried to write one, but... but it's impossible. It's not real. I re-wrote and re-wrote, but things kept changing and I hurt people and I knew they were hurting, but I didn't stop because your mind tricks you - it tricks you - into thinking things are fine. They're not fine. Nothing is fine. It's all wrong. I'm wrong. That's it. There's no happy ending.
La La Land
- City of Stars
City of stars. Are you shining just for me? City of stars. There's so much that I can't see. Who knows? Is this the start of something wonderful and new? Or one more dream that I cannot make true?
Tangled

"I've been looking out the window for eighteen years. Dreaming about what it would feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything that I dreamed it would be?" "It will be." "And what if it is? What then?" "Well that's the good part, I guess. You get to go find a new dream.
Owen Davian

I'm gonna find her. Whoever she is, I'm gonna find her and I'm gonna hurt her. I'm gonna make her bleed and cry and call out your name, but you won't be able to do anything, you know why? Because you're gonna be this close to dead. And them I'm gonna kill you right in front of her.
Batman
- A Hero
A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.
Tim Burton
- Edward Scissorhands
I don't know, not for sure. But I believe he is. You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren't up there now... I don't think it would be snowing. Sometimes, you can still catch me dancing in it.
