King Aurvandil War-Raven - The Northman (Robert Eggers)
- Your kingdom will not last
Strike, brother, strike. But know that bearing a stolen ring makes no half-breed a king. Soaked in my blood, it will soon be sliding off your arm like a serpent. Your kingdom will not last. Let this misdeed haunt your living nights, until flaming vengeance gorges on your death.
Waymond Wang - Everything Everywhere All at Once
- This is how I fight
You think I'm weak, don't you? You tell me that it's a cruel world and we're all just running around in circles. I know that. I've been on this earth just as many days as you. When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I've learned to survive through everything. I know you see yourself as a fighter. Well, I see myself as one too. This is how I fight.

- Punch-Drunk Love -- That's that
I didn't do anything. I'm a nice man, I mind my own business. So you tell me that's that before I beat the hell from you. I have so much strength in me, you have no idea. I have a love in my life that makes me stronger than anything you can imagine. I would say that's that, mattress man.

- Using wealth to become invisible
Eighty-five percent of the world's wealth is controlled by one percent of the population. What do you think is going to happen when those people wake up and realize you've got all their money? You live in a mansion. You drive a ninety thousand dollar car. Look at me. This is a two hundred dollar suit. I wear a secondhand tie. I fly coach, not because I can't afford first, but because I'm smart. So look at you, and look at me, and tell me who's the richer.
The Master
- "What do you do?"
I do many, many things. I am a writer, a doctor, a nuclear physicist, a theoretical philosopher; but, above all, I am a man. A hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you.
Batman ("Batman Begins")
- Incorruptible and Everlasting
People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy, and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed. But as a symbol... as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.
The Little Prince
- What can be found in a single rose
People where you live grow five thousand roses in one garden, yet they don't find what they're looking for. And yet, what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water. But eyes are blind, you have to look with the heart.
Percy Fawcett (The Lost City of Z)
- "We're going to die here today"
Nothing will happen to us that is not our destiny... So much of life is a mystery, my boy. We know so little of this world. But you and I have made a journey that other men cannot even imagine. And this has given understanding to our hearts.
Rust Cohle (True Detective)
- Being a Person
To realize that all your life - you know, all your love, all your hate, all your memories, all your pain - it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream, a dream that you had inside a locked room... a dream about being a person. And like a lot of dreams, there's a monster at the end of it.
V.M. Varga (Fargo)
- Being Rich
You think you're rich. You've no idea what "rich" means. "Rich" is a fleet of private planes filled with decoys to mask your scent. It's a banker in Wyoming and another in Gstaad. So that's action item one, the accumulation of wealth - and I mean wealth, not money.
