The Count: Gentlemen, I'd consider it an honor if you'd join me on this historic night... in a salute... to The Fabulous Four; the glories of our age; the bringers of joy... to our future generations... cause' there will always be poverty and pain an...
Capt. Oskar Steiger: [explaining Patton's attitude toward war] Sir, do you not see? General Alfred Jodl: What? Capt. Oskar Steiger: Don Quixote battles six merchants from Toledo and saves Dulcinea's virtue! General Alfred Jodl: Who the devil is Dulci...
Brandon: That's where we're superior, Phillip. We have courage. Rupert doesn't. Mrs. Wilson - Their Housekeeper: [placing a tray of food on the table] Mr. Cadell got a bad leg in the war for his courage. And you've got your sleeve in the celery, Mr. ...
Priest: I, for one, have seen hundreds of men dying like animals, but even I've never before heard anything as terrible as this. Horrible, it's horrible! There's never been anything, anything as terrible as this, never! It's worse than fires, wars, e...
Private Jackson: What I mean by that, sir, is if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile from Adolf Hitler... with a clean line of sight... Pack your bags, fellas. War's over. Amen.
Corporal Upham: "War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close collision in critical moments that man measures man." Captain Miller: I guess that's Emerson's way of findi...
Kambei Shimada: Go to the north. The decisive battle will be fought there. Gorobei Katayama: Why didn't you build a fence there? Kambei Shimada: A good fort needs a gap. The enemy must be lured in. So we can attack them. If we only defend, we lose th...
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: [to R2-D2] Hello there. [R2 beeps] Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Come here, my little friend. Don't be afraid. [R2 beeps a question] Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oh don't worry, he'll be alright.
Luke Skywalker: [on first seeing the Millenium Falcon] What a piece of junk! Han Solo: She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
C-3PO: I've just about had enough of you. Go that way. You'll be malfunctioning within a day, you near-sighted scrap pile. And don't let me catch you following me begging for help because you won't get it.
Governor Tarkin: Perhaps she would respond to an alternative form of persuasion. Darth Vader: What do you mean? Governor Tarkin: I think it is time we demonstrated the full power of this station. Set your course for Alderaan.
[a group of Stormtroopers are chasing Han Solo and Chewbacca down a corridor] Stormtrooper: Close the blast doors! [the doors shut just after Han and Chewie run through the doorway, locking the Stormtroopers out] Stormtrooper: Open the blast doors! O...
General Willard: You're safe. When we heard about Alderaan, we feared the worst. Princess Leia Organa: We have no time for sorrows, Commander. You must use the information in this R-2 unit to help plan the attack- it's our only hope.
C-3PO: Master Luke, sir. Pardon me for asking, but what should R2 and I do if we're discovered here? Luke Skywalker: Lock the door. Han Solo: And hope they don't have blasters. C-3PO: That isn't very reassuring.
Dr. Kathryn Railly: What is the matter with your leg? James Cole: Got shot. Dr. Kathryn Railly: Shot! Who shot you? James Cole: I don't know. It was some kind of war. Never mind. You wouldn't believe me anyway.
Delia Surridge: Oppenheimer was able to change more than the course of a war. He changed the entire course of human history. Is it wrong to hold on to that kind of hope? V: I have not come for what you hoped to do. I've come for what you did.
A part of me was like, 'Man, do I even like doing this anymore?' That whole thing of 'I'm in my 30s, and I sing and write songs while people are fighting wars in Iraq.' You know? So everything had to have more meaning, and it couldn't just be about m...
I would have to say the novel 'War and Peace' influenced me more than any other book. This greatest of novels demonstrated to me the enormous power of literature and fired me up with a desire to become a writer, to participate in what I considered th...
My first draft is always way too long; my books start out with delusions of 'War and Peace' - and must be gently disabused. My editor is brilliant at taking me to the point where I do all the necessary cutting on my own. I like to say she's a midwife...
Iran has basically propped up Assad, who has waged an absolute war of horror against the Syrian people. And he has done anything he could to stay in power with the full support of the Iranians and including Iranian troops and Hezbollah from Lebanon, ...
My own view of this, by the way, is, if the war on terrorism is successful over time, in its own way it's going to box Saddam in in a way that's going to make it much more difficult for him to maintain his power, and that he's going to become increas...
