- Happiness
I just read a quote that claimed that the more you search for happiness the harder it is to find it. This is not true, if you sit around and wait for happiness it will never come, it's not anybody else's responsibility to give you fun, although they can, it is something you must do for yourself.

- scariest alien message to receive from outer space
I have been watching you since you learned to walk. I have been protecting you since you learned to talk. I have been killing for you since you learned to write. One hundred twelve times I have slain a race that would subjugate you or worse. Following this message is an aggressor powerful enough to destroy me. I love you. Good luck.

- Yvaine's Monologue- Stardust
You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, I've seen centuries and centuries of it. It's the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All the wars, pain, lies, and hate, made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves! I mean, you could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful.

- "No dishonour in work" - Marquis of Carabas
"Of Monsieur de La Vauvraye," he continued, "let me tell you something more. He borrowed a guinea from me a month ago. He is by no means the only Knight of St. Louis who has borrowed my guineas. But he is the only one who has ever repaid me. That was a week ago, and I must suppose that he earned that guinea as a valet. If you have debts, messieurs, it seems to me that no servitude that enables you to repay them can be accounted dishonouring."

Selling poison as a cure. Drinks that make us thirstier. Food that makes us hungrier. News that makes us dumber. Company that makes us lonelier. Money that makes us poorer. Recreation that makes us work more. With friends like these, who needs enemies.
My Psych Class
- Genie
There is a critical period for children to develop language. Although people can still learn a language after this period, they will never master it. Genie was a child who's mother was blind and father a schizophrenic. She was locked in a closet until she was thirteen, and had no language knowledge. Once she was rescued she was taught English, but it was similar to an adult learning their second language. Even after extensive training she will never speak with ease.

- Light of my Life
I'm not gonna hurt you. Wendy? Darling? Light of my life. I'm not gonna hurt you. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said I'm not gonna hurt you... I'm just going to bash your brains in. Gonna bash 'em right the fuck in!

- Procrastination
I hate having the internal ambition to complete all my work and daily tasks just to have no energy to do so. As time goes on and the day begins to fade into the night, the anxiety starts to build and build and build until suddenly, I am faced with the reality that I have accomplished nothing. Now, I have a tomorrow that seems impossible to conquer, yet I continue procrastinating as if I have nothing better to do.

"Things may be bad at times, but you will get through it!" My Mother always said to put your chin sky high and reach for the stars! But the stars are falling down on me...

- Impact Over Intent
Many people don't understand that impact always matters more than intent. What you meant to do or say holds much less weight than how your actions or words were perceived. I was just talking to someone about this a few nights ago, and it really does seem to me that common sense might not be that common. What you did had a specific impact on me regardless of how you intended it to. Not everyone has the ability to take responsibility for their actions, that's clear.

- Truth hurts but lie kills
I'm telling you, it is okay to tell me the truth and hurt me a thousand ways, rather than to lie and hurt me a million more. Trust strengthens with every necessary pain but weakens with unnecessary ones. You will be hurt no matter who you are with; you just need to know for whom the pain is worth it.
Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
- Angry Zuko
For so long, I thought that if my dad accepted me, I'd be happy. I'm back home now. My dad talks to me. He even thinks I'm a hero. Everything should be perfect, right? I should be happy now, but I'm not. I'm angrier than ever and I don't know why!
Tomorrow X Together
- Anti-Romantic (English translation)
Sorry I'm an anti-romantic. I want to run away, far away. My heart is already chasing after you, and burning with small embers. Sorry I'm an anti-romantic. I don't believe, anymore, in being romantic. As my entire heart burns, I'm afraid that only black ashes will remain.

In peace, may we leave the shore, in love, may we find the next. Safe passage on your travels, until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again.
Billy Madison
- Academic Decathelon
What you just said, was one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Barney Stinson - How I Met Your Mother
Lily you have to come home. You and Marshall belong together. The two of you have something that most people search their whole lives for and never find. I know you love him and if you knew what he was going through right now you wouldn't be here for one more second. I bought you a ticket home.

Don't try to make yourself remember, darling. Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told. So let's pretend a little longer. Cause when we're gone, everything goes on.
Neil Armstrong
- At the Foot of the Ladder
I'm at the foot of the ladder. The LM footpads are only depressed in the surface about 1 or 2 inches, although the surface appears to be very, very fine-grained as you get close to it. It's almost like a powder. Down there, it's very fine. I'm going to step off the LM now. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Hammond, Jurassic Park
- Spared No Expense!
I own an island off the coast of Costa Rica. I've leased it from the government, and I've spent the last five years setting up a kind of biological preserve. Really spectacular, spared no expense! It'll make the one I've got down in Kenya look like a petting zoo. And there's no doubt our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.

- Mr. Beaver ( The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe )
But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that's going to be human and isn't yet, or used to be human once and isn't now, or ought to be human and isn't, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.
