Nemo age 16: [narrating] Probably the worst thing about being on Mars is that nothing will happen there. Time will seem stale and empty. Man: [looking out over Mars] It doesn't look like there is much to do. I hope I brought enough Sudoku.
Noodles: To keep from going crazy, you have to cut yourself off from the outside world, just not think about it. Yet there were years that went by. It seemed like... no time at all, because you're not doing anything.
Big Bob: Up until now everything around here has been, well, pleasant. Recently certain things have become unpleasant. Now, it seems to me that the first thing we have to do is to separate out the things that are pleasant from the things that are unp...
Colonel Yu: I think China belongs to Chinese people, but the rest of the world seems to disagree. Walter Fane: Yes, but that's got nothing to do with me. I didn't come here with a gun, you know. I came here with a microscope.
Mark Van Doren: Charlie, from what I understand, it's just a bunch of frauds showing off an erudition they really didn't have. All you have to do is... Charles Van Doren: The problem is, Dad, is that it seems I was one of those frauds.

[Chas has told Royal to get out of the house. As Royal gets up to leave he suddenly seems to suffer some kind of 'attack' and falls to the floor] Chas: Are you OK? Royal: [with a wooden spoon between his teeth] 'Fuck do you care?
Marv: I'll stare the bastard in the face as he screams to God, and I'll laugh harder when he whimpers like a baby. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him.
Colter Stevens: You seem concerned about the time. What are you late for? Max Denoff: I'm on my way to an asshole festival. I hear you're headlining. Colter Stevens: Oh, that's funny. What are you, a comedian? Christina Warren: Yeah. He is a comedian...
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: It's of interest to me how much you seem to know about that world. Shepherd Book: I wasn't born a shepherd, Mal. Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: You have to tell me about that sometime. Shepherd Book: [pause] No, I don't.
The Operative: [to Mal] You are fooling yourself, Captain. Nothing here is what it seems. You are not the plucky hero, the Alliance is not an evil empire, and this is not the grand arena. Inara Serra: And that's not incense. [He turns to look: the in...

The miracles of the church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is t...
The way I write is, I listen to things in my head, and then I copy them down. I memorize conversations and things like that; I seem to be able to do that pretty well. I suppose in that respect there's some improvisation, although I work over the stuf...
I have always loved a hard-faced girl. I get that Alison Goldfrapp isn't easy, and I like her belligerence. She's deeply sexy and controlled, like a Strict Machine, and it seems to wind the b'jesus out of the women I know. On the outside, I watch and...
