I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way drivers never look at the road in old movies.
- Amélie on “Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain”
Time’s funny. When you’re a kid, it passes slowly, and next thing you’re fifty and your childhood fits into a rusty little box.
- Bretodeau, The Box Man on “Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain”
Without you, today’s emotions would be the scurf of yesterday’s.
- Hipolito, The Writer on “Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain”
We pass the time of day to forget how time passes.

Amélie still seeks solitude. She amuses herself with silly questions about the world below, such as “How many people are having an orgasm right now?”

A woman without love wilts like a flower without sun.
- Newsstand Woman on “Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain”
The fool looks at a finger that points at the sky.
- Sacré-Coeur Boy on “Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain”
These are hard times for dreamers.

The ignorance of everyday people killed my son.
- Lila Lipscomb on “Fahrenheit 9/11″
While Bush was busy taking care of his base and professing his love for our troops, he proposed cutting combat soldiers’ pay by 33% and assistance to their families by 60%. He opposed giving veterans a billion dollars more in health care benefits, and he supported closing veteran hospitals. He tried to double the prescription drug costs for veterans and opposed full benefits for part-time reservists. And when Staff Sergeant Brett Petriken from Flint was killed in Iraq on May 26th, the army sent his last paycheck to his family, but they docked him for the last five days of the month that he didn’t work because he was dead.
- Michael Moore on “Fahrenheit 9/11″
George Orwell once wrote, “It’s not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact.”
- Michael Moore on “Fahrenheit 9/11″
I’ve always been amazed that the very people forced to live in the worst parts of town, go to the worst schools and who have it the hardest, are always the first to step up to defend that very system. They serve so that we wouldn’t have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is remarkable, their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm’s way unless it’s absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again?
- Michael Moore on “Fahrenheit 9/11″
You can’t kill someone without killing a part of yourself.

White guys aren’t attracted to me. I think my booty’s too intimidating or something.
- Flirt! cosmetic assistant Janjay on “The Fashionista Diaries”
Some people build fences to keep people out and other people build fences to keep people in.
- “Fences” by August Wilson
I don’t wanna party like it’s my birthday. I wanna sell my house.
- Jeff Lewis, after discovering that his staff had switched his mellow “Open House” music for 50 Cent, on “Flipping Out”
I saw–with shut eyes, but acute mental vision–I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion. Frightful must it be, for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavor to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.
- “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley
Don’t whisper-yell at me. Don’t whisper-yell at me!
- Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler), to his quietly angry wife (Connie Britton), on “Friday Night Lights”
