Buster Keaton as Johnny Gray in The General, really upset, to the recruiter who rejects him for the Confederate Army:

                  - If you lose this war don't blame me!

"The General", an ageless masterpiece  :cool:

from the closing scene of Gattaca

"For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home. "


New ideas pass through three periods:
- It can't be done.
- It probably can be done, but it's not worth doing.
- I knew it was a good idea all along!
 Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - )

And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
And answer'd "I Myself am Heaven and Hell:"

Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion. There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

I can't remember the exact quote and can't be bothered to look it up, but this, from Samuel Johnson's Rasselas has sustained me through countless difficult times:

'You see that great palace over there? It seems impossible that it was ever built. Yet it was built, one stone at a time.'

I forgot all the quotes from the Lord of the Rings movies last time I posted here. I'll try to limit myself to a manageable number.

Gandalf: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

Faramir: The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he comes from, and if he really was evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home, or he would not rather have stayed there... in peace? War will make corpses of us all.

Elrond:Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you, no comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death an image of the splendor of the kings of Men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell bound to your grief under the fading trees until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.

...and (slightly) more seriously,

"As long as there is an observer seperating himself from what he observes, there must inevitably be conflict."

Hey Nigel, cool quote.
If we're talking philosophical issues now I really like this one:

May everyone live
And may everyone die
Hello my love
And my love goodbye

It's a bit depressing, but poetic at the same time... :)

Or what do you think of this one:
'I don't pretend to know what you want,
but I offer love'
:D

Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow
creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, Out, brief candle
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

Shakespeare, Macbeth V., v., 17

Now for some C.S.Lewis Quotes (and yes he wrote a lot more than the Chronicles of Narnia)...

"Democracy demands that little men should not take big ones too seriously; it dies when it is full of little men who think they are big themselves."
C.S.Lewis--'Notes on the Way' Time and Tide

"Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst."
C.S.Lewis--Reflections on the Psalms

"Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning..."
C.S.Lewis--Mere Christianity

"...art can teach without at all ceasing to be art."
C.S.Lewis --from a letter to "I.O. Evans"

"A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process."
C.S.Lewis--The Abolition of Man

"Only the skilled can judge the skillfulness, but that is not the same as judging the value of the result."
C.S.Lewis --A Preface to Paradise Lost

For many more go to:
