Erich Maria Remarque
- All Quiet on the Western Front
He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front. He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping. Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come.
Jim Carrey
Society is collapsing, and people are starting to recognize that the reason they feel like they're mentally ill is that they're living in a system that's not designed to suit the human spirit.
Jungle Cruise Skipper
- Hippo Attack
Oh, no! Look at the hippos that are about to attack the boat. Don't worry, I know just the thing that will scare them away - it worked on my last boyfriend. Hey hippos, I love you! I really want to marry you and be with you forever and ever.
Sallah
- Temple of the Forbidden Eye
Your off-road journey is high-speed and turbulent, going over rough and rugged terrain and then suddenly you are turning sharply and dropping suddenly! It is unlike anything you have ever experienced, I assure you. Now, my friends, one final word of advice: once you have entered the Chamber of Destiny, look not into the eyes of the idol. That would be dangerous... very dangerous.
Thunder Mountain Railroad
Howdy partners! For your safety, remain seated with your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the train - and be sure to watch your kids. If any of you folks are wearin' hats or glasses, best remove 'em - 'cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!
Hammond, Jurassic Park
- Spared No Expense!
I own an island off the coast of Costa Rica. I've leased it from the government, and I've spent the last five years setting up a kind of biological preserve. Really spectacular, spared no expense! It'll make the one I've got down in Kenya look like a petting zoo. And there's no doubt our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.
Walt Disney
I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should. Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature.
Riley Flynn, Midnight Mass
- What Happens When I Die
My neurons are firing, and I'm seeing this firework display of memories and imagination. And I am just tripping because my mind's rifling through the memories, and the dreams mix with the memories. And it's a curtain call. The dream to end all dreams. And then... I stop. No pain. No memory. No awareness that I ever was or ever hurt someone. Everything is as it was before me, and I'm serving a purpose. I'm feeding life. My atoms are in the plants and bugs and animals, and I am like the stars.
Father Paul, Midnight Mass
- Mourn With Those Who Mourn
What do you say? You can say, "I'm so sorry for your loss." Or, "God works in mysterious ways." Or, "If there's anything I can do..." It's so hollow, isn't it? Sometimes it's okay to just look at the world and say, "Why? Why? Why? I don't understand, and I will not." Yeah, sometimes that's okay.
Dr. Ian Malcolm
- Well, There It Is
The kind of control you're attempting simply is... it's not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free; it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously. But, uh... well, there it is.
Erin Greene, Midnight Mass
- On Miscarriage
She was never awake. When she came down into this little body, this just forming body, it was asleep. So all she ever knew was dreaming. She only ever dreamed. She didn't even have a name. And then, in her sleep, that perfect little spirit just lifted up. This special little soul just sent down here to sleep. Just a little nap. A quick dream.
Moby Dick
- Ahab's Last Words
Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.
The You You Are, Dr. Ricken Hale
- Page 197 Slaps
Your job needs you, not the other way around... Our job is to taste free air. Your so-called boss may own the clock that taunts you from the wall, but, my friends, the hour is yours.
Max von Sydow
- The Seventh Seal
This is my hand. I can turn it. The blood is still running in it. The sun is still in the sky, and the wind is blowing. And I... I, Antonius Block, play chess with Death.
Jack Torrance, The Shining
- Light of my Life
I'm not gonna hurt you. Wendy? Darling? Light of my life. I'm not gonna hurt you. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said I'm not gonna hurt you... I'm just going to bash your brains in. Gonna bash 'em right the fuck in!
Pinhead, Hellraiser
- You Opened It, We Came
The Box. You opened it, we came... It is a means to summon us. We are explorers in the further regions of human experience. Demons to some, angels to others. Now you must come with us. Taste our treasures. Oh, no tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
The Blair Witch Project
- Heather's Apology
It was my fault because it was my project and I insisted. Everything had to be my way, and this is where we've ended up. And it's all because of me that we're here now: hungry, cold, and hunted. I love you mom, dad. I am so sorry. I'm scared to close my eyes... I'm scared to open them. I am so scared. I don't know what's out there. We are going to die out here!
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
- Slaughter House Five
Billy came slightly unstuck in time, saw the late movie backwards, then forwards again. It was a movie about American bombers in WWII... The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers, and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks... they would never hurt anybody ever again.
Neil Armstrong
- At the Foot of the Ladder
I'm at the foot of the ladder. The LM footpads are only depressed in the surface about 1 or 2 inches, although the surface appears to be very, very fine-grained as you get close to it. It's almost like a powder. Down there, it's very fine. I'm going to step off the LM now. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
