[_-Midnight-_]

I think there was a thread a while back with anime quotes but im looking for any quotes anime or general.
My favourite quote of all time is by john stuart miller

War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things. the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks nothing is worth war is much worse, the person who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exhertions of better men than himself.

Jeremy: I admire Hammond for doing what he's doing. I admire all Arctic Explorers. But I think the time has now come for the world to say let's see how easily we can get to the top of Everest. Let's see how easily we can get to the North Pole. I think we could forge a career as the world's worst explorers. (voiceover) Surprisingly, James was ahead of me on that one.
James: What would really make it nice would be a gin and tonic. Would you like one?
Jeremy: What?
James: A gin and tonic.
Jeremy: Yes, I would like a gin and tonic, but we can't have a gin and tonic because we're in the Arctic Ocean.
James: I'll make you one.
Jeremy: What?
[James produces the necessary items and ingredients]
Jeremy: Hahahahahahaha! You've got gin!
James: I have.
Jeremy: And because we're in international waters there's no drink-drive laws.
James: Exactly.
Jeremy: Got any ice? That's a stupid question isn't it?
James: Could you just slow down so I can slice the lemon for the gin and tonic?
Jeremy: Now this is Arctic Exploration.

[_-Midnight-_]

this one is from the movie equilibrium

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)
allthough in the movie they only say a few lines of it
