Favorite Movie/Game/Book quote

What's yours...

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

This is from Acheron (My favorite book character) from the Dark Hunter Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. This book series is amazing for both males and females and is so great that I named my son after this book character. I am the biggest bookworm and have so many books that I can recommend.

This is not so much a quote as it is a speech. It was written by Paddy Chayefsky who has the distinction of being one of the most cynical and profound screenwriters I have come across...and this is even accounting for his involvement with Paint Your Wagon. His modern equivalent is Aaron Sorkin, who tried his hand in a similar subject matter with The Newsroom, but with middling results.

Since it is a scene in a film, just putting it down here is words robs it of its power. So here it is; one of the most iconic scenes in movie history:

Or, we can go with this one. This sums up the cyclical nature of..well...that would be delving into too much of the pool of politics:

Moral of this post, watch Network folks. It's probably one of the better films that you can watch.

Okay a long quote. But I always loved how this book starts.

Solving the following riddle will reveal the awful secret behind the universe, assuming you do not go utterly mad in the attempt. If you already happen to know the awful secret behind the universe, feel free to skip ahead.
Let?s say you have an ax. Just a cheap one, from Home Depot. On one bitter winter day, you use said ax to behead a man. Don?t worry, the man was already dead. Or maybe you should worry, because you?re the one who shot him.
He had been a big, twitchy guy with veiny skin stretched over swollen biceps, a tattoo of a swastika on his tongue. Teeth filed into razor-sharp fangs?you know the type. And you?re chopping off his head because, even with eight bullet holes in him, you?re pretty sure he?s about to spring back to his feet and eat the look of terror right off your face.
On the follow-through of the last swing, though, the handle of the ax snaps in a spray of splinters. You now have a broken ax. So, after a long night of looking for a place to dump the man and his head, you take a trip into town with your ax. You go to the hardware store, explaining away the dark reddish stains on the broken handle as barbecue sauce. You walk out with a brand-new handle for your ax.
The repaired ax sits undisturbed in your garage until the spring when, on one rainy morning, you find in your kitchen a creature that appears to be a foot-long slug with a bulging egg sac on its tail. Its jaws bite one of your forks in half with what seems like very little effort. You grab your trusty ax and chop the thing into several pieces. On the last blow, however, the ax strikes a metal leg of the overturned kitchen table and chips out a notch right in the middle of the blade.
Of course, a chipped head means yet another trip to the hardware store. They sell you a brand-new head for your ax. As soon as you get home, you meet the reanimated body of the guy you beheaded earlier. He?s also got a new head, stitched on with what looks like plastic weed-trimmer line, and it?s wearing that unique expression of ?you?re the man who killed me last winter? resentment that one so rarely encounters in everyday life.
You brandish your ax. The guy takes a long look at the weapon with his squishy, rotting eyes and in a gargly voice he screams, ?That?s the same ax that beheaded me!?
IS HE RIGHT?

Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer and then you'll notice you have their full attention.

Love this from Winston Churchill when he appeared at parliament drunk. Bessie Braddock confronted him.

Sir, you are drunk. - Bessie Braddock

And you, Bessie, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning, and you will still be ugly. - Winston Churchill

For those of you that have played Borderlands the Pre sequel, you know you can play as a doppelg?nger(Basically handsome jack)

Early on, a character named sparks asks "Why would anyone sign up for a job like this" and your character gives the greatest response

Because he's a multimillionaire who wanted a clone and I have student loans

Its a good read, with a great take on magic (or sympathy).
