I would be quite content to go to their children's bar mitzvahs, to marvel at their Gothic cathedrals, to 'respect' their belief that the Koran was dictated, though exclusively in Arabic, to an illiterate merchant, or to interest myself in Wicca and ...

Polonius: My lord I will take my leave of you. Hamlet: You cannot sir, take from me anything I would more willingly part withal. Except my life. Except my life [grins crazily] Hamlet: Except my life. Polonius: Fare you well, my lord. Hamlet: [to hims...
Dudley Dursley: [on Dudley's birthday] How many are there? Uncle Vernon: 36, counted them myself. Dudley Dursley: 36! But last year, last year I had 37! Uncle Vernon: Yes, yes, but some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year. Dudley Dursley: I...
Daniel Molloy: What about crucifixes? Louis: Crucifixes? Daniel Molloy: Yes, can you look at them? Louis: Actually I am quite fond of looking at crucifixes. Daniel Molloy: What about the old stake through the heart? Louis: Nonsense Daniel Molloy: Cof...
Colonel Ludlow: Indians! Indians were the issue in those days. I can assure you, gentlemen, there is nothing quite so grotesque as the meeting of a child with a bullet; or an entire village slaughtered while sleeping. That was the Government's resolu...
[from extended version] Merry: [watching Saruman look out at the ruin of Isengard from the tower] He doesn't look too happy, does he? Pippin: Not too happy at all, Merry. Merry: Still, I suppose the view would be quite nice from up there. Pippin: Oh ...
Chamlee: I don't like it, no sir. I've always treated every man the same: just as another, future customer. Henry: Well in that case, get that hearse rolling. Chamlee: I can't, my driver's quit! Robert: He's prejudiced too, huh? Chamlee: Well, when i...
Spock: [standing across Lt. Uhura before he and Kirk are about to be beamed onto the Romulan warship] I will be back. Lt. Nyota Uhura: [leaning in] You better be! I'll be monitoring your frequency. Spock: [actually quite emotional] Thank you, Nyota. ...
Dan Dreiberg: [referring to the exit tunnel] There's a maintenance hatch that will let you out two blocks north. Rorschach: I remember. I used to come here often, back when we were partners. Dan Dreiberg: Those were good times, huh Rorschach? What ha...
Catering Boss: I'm not paying you to do... whatever it is you're doing out here. Ricky Fitts: Fine. So don't pay me. Catering Boss: Excuse me? Ricky Fitts: I quit. So you don't have to pay me. Now leave me alone. Catering Boss: ...asshole. Lester Bur...
Police Sgt. Brophy: Look, Sergeant, I promised ya I wouldn't swear but what the he - [stops, noticing the Reverend] Police Sgt. Brophy: What's goin' on here anyway? Reverend Harper: Oh, he's quite harmless. Police Sgt. Brophy: Thinks he's Teddy Roose...
Nash: Well, Martin Hansen. It is Martin, isn't it? Hansen: Why yes, John, it is. Nash: I assume you've gotten quite used to miscalculation. I read your pre-prints. Both of 'em. One on Nazi scientists and the other one on, uh... non-linear equations, ...
I love you too much to lie to you, Lisey. I love you with all that passes for my heart. I suspect that kind of all-out love becomes a burden to a woman in time, but it's the only kind I have to give. I think we're going to be quite a wealthy couple i...
Rory's not my pet dog!' I [Amy] yelled at the Doctor. 'Well, that would be better.' He was truly angry. 'Dogs I can live with.' He paused, suddenly hopeful. 'Quite sure you're not a cat person?' 'This isn't getting him back,' I said. He pulled a face...
I tried to imagine him capital-S Somewhere as we prayed, but even then I could not quite convince myself that he and I would be together again. I already knew too many dead people. I knew that time would now pass for me differently then it would for ...
Because travel was an area of my life where I felt most vital, I wanted to continue to invest in that, too. I had quit a full time job, drained my retirement account to invest in a long-held dream, and used the realization of that dream to enter a vo...
I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely...
We tend to make adjustments in our lives to get by, to survive. Sometimes we don't actually heal. We make changes. We deny. We mask. We cover up. We hide things. I could not change the fact Shellie committed suicide while I was away no more than I co...
For when I trace back the years I have liv'd, gathering them up in my Memory, I see what a chequer'd Work Of Nature my life has been. If I were now to inscribe my own History with its unparalleled Sufferings and surprizing Adventures (as the Booksell...
