Randal Graves: You can't get a chick, ya mook. You're too weird and sad. Elias: [gets angry] I turn down chicks left and right. Randal Graves: Your chicks *are* your left and right.
[last lines] Narrator: Whether Grace left Dogville, or on the contrary Dogville had left her - and the world in general - is a question of a more artful nature that few would benefit from by asking, and even fewer by providing an answer. And nor inde...
[Christy's father builds him a house next to his parents] Mrs. Brown: Well, Christy, that's the nearest he'll ever come to saying I love you.
[sarcastically offering congratulations to Eileen, his beloved therapist ] Christy Brown: Con-gra-tu-la-tions to you and Peter. I'm glad you taught me to speak so I could say that.
Steve: [shouting in Teague's face] You son of a bitch! You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn't you? You son of a bitch, you left the bodies and you only moved the headstones! You only moved the headstones! Why! Why!
Will Turner: [arriving back at the workshop, his boss is still fast asleep] Right where I left you. [notices a hammer on the anvil] Will Turner: Not where I left *you*.
It hadn't occurred to me that my mother would die. Until she was dying, the thought had never entered my mind. She was monolithic and insurmountable, the keeper of my life. She would grow old and still work in the garden. This image was fixed in my m...
In Demons of the Flesh, Zeena describes how Shiva and Shakti are actually ‘two sides of the same deity’. The goal of the initiate on the left-hand path is to become ‘this bisexual twin godhead’ and activate a state of perceptual sexual ecstas...
I left the bed as she had left it, unmade and rumpled, coverlets awry, so that her body's print might rest still warm beside my own. Until the next day I did not go to bathe, I wore no clothes and did not dress my hair, for fear I might erase some sw...

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one
Some run the cliffs, and set upon an eagle’s wings. Others mire in the den, and once within, can never leave again.
And while Luce dreamed below of the most glorious wings unfurling-the likes of which she'd never seen before-two angels in the rafters shook hands.
Behind my eyelids, I saw him dancing in spirals of coloured light, emerald, blue, and brilliant purple, enfolding him like the wings of an electric angel.
Decision is the wing that makes dreams to go and grow and flow and fly. No decision, no fulfilled destiny!
Dream high, beyond the sky; no matter wings so small, keep vision bright; just dare to learn, for you are born to fly.
For power, you know, is a fretful thing, and hath its wings always spread for flight.
