"It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire."

Catherine Earnshaw - Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte



"Listen to them. The children of the night. What music they make."

Count Dracula - Dracula (1931 movie)

How about a favorite quote From Star Trek, as seen on a bumper sticker in 1987?

"He's dead, Jim. You get his tricorder, I'll grab his wallet."

I love it!

'You are drunk Sir Winston, you are disgustingly drunk. 'Yes, Mrs. Braddock, I am drunk. But you, Mrs. Braddock are ugly, and disgustingly fat. But, tomorrow morning, I, Winston Churchill will be sober.'

Guess who that's by? I've been waiting for years now for an excuse to use that on someone...

Jayne: "You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here!" - Firefly ep. 2 "The Train Job"

Susan Ivanova: "On your trip back, I'd like you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra: "Ivanova…is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova…is God. And, if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out!" Babylon Control out. [sighs to herself] Civilians. [looks up] Just kidding about that God part. No offense." - Babylon 5 ep. 18 S2 "A Voice in the Wilderness"

Quote:
Kneller: Once upon a time there was a crooked tree and a straight
tree. And they grew next to each other. And every day the straight
tree would look at the crooked tree and he would say, "Youre
crooked. Youve always been crooked and youll continue to be
crooked. But look at me! Look at me!" said the straight tree. He
said, "Im tall and Im straight." And then one day the lumberjacks
came into the forest and looked around, and the manager in charge
said, "Cut all the straight trees." And that crooked tree is still
there to this day, growing strong and growing strange.


This is one of my favorite movies of all time with many great quotes but most of them make no sense out of context.

Back in the mid 60's Robert A. Heinlein wrote Glory Road-a glorious fusion of sci-fi, fantasy and social comment. I read it when I was in high school and have re-read it since and it hasn't lost it's charm.

About this time, I started an affectation where I would read the last line of a book first. The idea was to engender curiosity as to how the author gets you to that last line. It only really worked for me with Glory Road. That last line was:

Got any dragons you need killed?

Sinclair: "No. We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes…[and] all of this…all of this…was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars." - Babylon 5 ep. 4 "Infection"

This is one of my all time favorite B5 quotes. I thought of it as soon as I saw the title of this thread....lol

Here's another great one from Babylon 5:

"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those, whose lives are brief can imagine that love .. is eternal. .. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

-- Lorien to Ivanova in Babylon 5:"Into the Fire"

This was the one of the final lines in the series and perhaps the best:

"Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. There would never be another. It changed the future .. and it changed us. It taught us that we have to create the future .. or others will do it for us. It showed us that we have care for one another, because if we don't, who will? And that true strength sometimes comes from the most unlikely places. Mostly, though, I think it gave us hope .. that there can always be new beginnings .. even for people like us."

-- General Ivanova in Babylon 5:"Sleeping in Light"
