Willow: A man who would come here of his own free will. Librarian: A man who has come here with the power of a king. By representing the law... Willow: A man who would come here as a virgin... Librarian: A man who has come here as a fool!
Professor Charles Xavier: Would you like to see another magic trick? Man In Black Suit: Yes! Professor Charles Xavier: [Using powers, gives order] Get in the car. Man In Black Suit: Good idea.

It really helps to know what success is before you get there, and if you know, then you can head right for it. For some people, it's the most money. For some, it's the most power. For some, it's the most girlfriends. Everybody's got a measure. For me...

Does not a man physically tremble under the mere look of a wild beast or fellow-man that is stronger than himself? Does not a woman redden all over when she feels her lover's eyes on her? How then should one doubt the mysterious power of one individu...
My parents made it clear that I should never display even the slightest disrespect to individuals who had the power to let me skip a half grade or move into more challenging classes. While it was all right for me to know more about a topic than my si...
