OT: Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Whatever Quotes

[Starhawk]

Hey all I have a little time before I have to start my week 2 of college courses which will take a day or two of my time on work then a day or two on study and projects....anyway I just posted a new chapter of my story and it got me thinking "Yah know Trevor" that's me btw "You wrote in a few quotes to your story I wonder what some of the best quotes ever are."

So in my incredibly bored and sleep deprived mind I have come up with this idea.....post your favorite quote (preferably non vulger) from sci-fi fantasy or whatever and where it is from. I just want to see how much good stuff is out there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Use of weapons by Iain M Banks. More of an extract than a quote, but utterly beautiful just the same:



One of the people in the group held a little bundle of brown and yellow fur, cradled against one shoulder like a baby. "Here." the man said, presenting the tiny furry creature to Sma. She took it reluctantly. It was warm, had four limbs arranged conventionally, smelled attractive and wasn't any sort of animal she'd ever seen before; it had large ears on a large head, and as she held it, it opened its huge eyes and looked at her. "That's the ship," the man who'd handed her the animal said.

"Hello," the tiny being squeaked.

Sma looked it up and down. "You're the Xenophobe?"

"It's representative. The bit you can talk to. You can call me Xeny." It smiled; it had little round teeth. "I know most ships just use a drone, but," It glaced at Skaffen Amtiskaw, "they can be a bit boring, don't you think? I'm much cuter." It wriggled in her hands looking happy. "If you like," it gurgled, "I'll show you to your cabin, yes?"

"Yes; good idea," nodded Sma, and put the thing over her shoulder.

"Ooh, you're nice and warm," the little brown and yellow creature mumbled sleepily, snuggling into Sma's neck as they headed down a deeply carpeted corridor for Sma's quarters. It stirred and she found herself patting its back. "Left here," it said, at a junction then, "That's us just breaking orbit now, by the way."

"Good," Sma said.

"Can I cuddle up with you when you sleep?"

Sma stopped, detached the creature from her shoulder with one hand and stared it in the face. "What?"

"Just for chumminess' sake," the little thing said, yawning wide and blinking. "I'm not being rude; it's good bonding procedure."

Sma was aware of Skaffen Amtiskaw glowing red just behind her. She brought the yellow and brown device closer to her face. "Listen, Xenophobe -"

"Xeny."

"Xeny; you are a million-tonne starship; a Torturer class Rapid Offense Unit. Even -"

"But I'm demilitarized!"

"Even without your principle armament, I bet you could waste planets if you wanted to -"

"Aw, come on; any silly GCU can do that!"

O'Neil's "It's what I do", quote is a signature move for that character. :-)

And a couple Heavy Metal quotes...

Ard: "If you refuse, you die; she dies; everybody dies."

Hanover Fiste: "He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!"

Den: "What are they saying?"

As far as I remind it's an Cyberpunk RPG quote that is also in Netrunner (the CCG)

[Ron_Lugge]

And so it begins.
-Kash, Babylon 5, on many seperate occasions.

Truth is a three edged sword: my side, your side, the truth.
-Paraphrase of John J. Sheridan, Babylon 5, facing the combined Shadow / Vorlon armada

The avalanche has already started; it is too late for the pebbles to vote.
-Kash, Babylon 5

This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw... or be destroyed."
"Negative, we have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship."
"Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with the Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives... BE somewhere else!"
-Babylon 5, betwen Ambassadore Delenn and a ship's captain, in Severed Dreams

There is a hole in your mind.
Babylon 5, Series Premier

You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, would it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.
-Marcus Cole, babylon 5

I am a Ranger. We walk in the dark places no others will enter. We stand on the bridge and no-one may pass. We live for the One, we die for the One.
-Ranger's Oath, Babylon 5

If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd have stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea. Hell, I always thought the opposable thumb was overrated
-Babylon 5

A darkness carried in the heart can not be cured by moving the body from one place to another.
-Do I really need to tell you?

You can't turn away from death simply because you're afraid of what might happen without you. That's not enough! You're not embracing life. You're fleeing death....Your friends need what you can be when you are no longer afraid, when you know who you are and why you are and what you want, when you are no longer looking for reasons to live, but can simply be.

The next time .. the next time .. you want a revelation .. could you possibly find a way .. that isn't .. quite so .. uncomfortable?
-Marcus Cole, upon being beaten half to death.

"Breen. You've managed to import breen from homeworld. How?"
"It .. isn't actually breen."
"But the smell, the taste..."
"It's an Earth food. They are called Swedish meatballs. It's a strange thing, but every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs. I suspect it's one of those great universal mysteries which will either never get explained or which will drive you mad if you ever learned the truth."

"Every day, here and at home, we are warned about the enemy. But who is the enemy? Is it the alien? Well, we are all alien to one another. Is it the one who believes differently than we do? No, not at all, my friends. The enemy is fear. The enemy is ignorance. The enemy is the one who tells you that you must hate that which is different. Because, in the end, that hate will turn on you. And that same hate will destroy you."

"I thought the purpose of filing these reports was to provide accurate intelligence."
"Vir, intelligence has nothing to do with politics."

"We are the universe, trying to understand itself"

"I can only conclude that I'm paying off karma at a vastly accelerated rate."

"Then the tragedy is greater than I thought. Without forgiveness you can not mourn, and without mourning you can never let go of the pain."

"The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest."

"Ah! He has become one with his inner self!"
"He's passed out."
"That too."

"I've never understood that. Why does the universe give us puzzles with no answers?"
"Pay back, maybe?"

"Faith manages."

"We put you in this position, G'Kar. Our reverence is our gift to you, and you are responsible to us. You owe us. Without us .. you are nothing."
"Then I am nothing. Good day."

-- A Narn and G'Kar in Babylon 5: "Objects in Motion"

"Why? What's inside there?"
"One moment of perfect beauty."

There are so many more good ones, but I think I'll leave it here.
