"Any dogma, primarily based on faith and emotionalism, is a dangerous weapon to use on others, since it is almost impossible to guarantee that the weapon will never be turned on the user." – Isaac Asimov, Foundation

If you like Asimov so much, why don't you marry him?

It's illegal in my country

Illegal because hes a guy? Or because hes been dead for almost 18 years?

I would assume that necromatrimony would be illegal in any country.

I walked into that one. You bastard Stormbringer. Go play 4E.

You know what happens when you assume?

"You're 300 light years from your precious planet. Your loved ones are dead and forgotten for 20 centuries. 20 centuries! Even if you could get back, they'd think you were something that fell out of a tree."
Planet of the Apes (1968)

Johns: Doctors decide who lives and dies on the battlefield. It's called Triage.
Riddick: Kept calling it murder when I did it.
Pitch Black

I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all — or no one is secure... This does not mean giving up any freedom except the freedom to act irresponsibly.
Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves — and hired policemen to enforce them.
We of the other planets have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets — and for the complete elimination of aggression. A sort of United Nations on the Planetary level... The test of any such higher authority, of course, is the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots — Their function is to patrol the planets — in space ships like this one — and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression we have given them absolute power over us. This power can not be revoked. At the first sign of violence they act automatically against the aggressor. And the penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk.
The result is that we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war — free to pursue more profitable enterprises. Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film)

Narrator: This is a story of tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, when men have built a station in space, constructed in the form of a great wheel, and set a thousand miles out from the Earth, fixed by gravity, and turning about the world every two hours, serving a double purpose: an observation post in the heavens, and a place where a spaceship can be assembled, and then launched to explore other planets, and the vast universe itself, in the last and greatest adventure of mankind — the plunge toward the... conquest of space!
Conquest of Space

Screamers

Well, you're coming up in the world - you've learned how to kill each other

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Elizabeth Driscoll: They'll stop you.
Dr. David Kibner: In an hour... you won't want them to. In an hour, you'll be one of us

We came here from a dying world. We drift through the universe, from planet to planet, pushed on by the solar winds. We adapt and we survive. The function of life is survival.

The Omega Man

Little Girl: Are you God?
Lisa: Let's find out if he's even a doctor before we go promoting him, okay?

It's OK, Tommy. This is the man... and I mean "The Man," but he's cool.

Quote from: Spinachcat;358600IMDB is going to be your best bet for movie quotes.

Offhand, I find IMDB's site a PITA to get around between all the ads and such. Lots of quotes yes. I suggest supplementing it with
http://www.wikiquote.org/

Usually any wikipedia entry for a movie that's quotable enough has a link to the corresponding wikiquote entry.

"That's it man, game over man, game over!" - Hudson (Bill Paxton) Aliens

"They're coming outta the walls. They're coming outta the goddamn walls. Let's book!" - Hudson (Bill Paxton) Aliens

"Hey, maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!" - Hudson (Bill Paxton) Aliens

"Come with me if you want to live." - Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) Terminator

Obviously, "I'll be back." - the terminator (Ahnuld) Terminator

"You're terminated, fucker." - Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) Terminator

"Most of them died instantly. A few had time to go quietly nuts." - Dr Mark Hall (James Olson) The Andromeda Strain

"It probably came from a sticky, dark planet far, far away. Now go to sleep." - Dr. Yano (Akira Yamauchi) Godzilla vs. Hedorah

"Children's Land? Is that some sort of a fancy name for a lunatic asylum?" - Priest (Kurayoshi Nakamura) Godzilla vs. Gigan

"He says the sun came out last night. He says it sang to him." - Project Leader (J. Patrick McNamara) Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Man, this is sort of addictive...

That's uncalled for, you  rotten asshole!

AVATAR
Everything is backwards now, like out there is the the real world and this is the dream.

I was a Marine. A warrior, of the... Jarhead clan.

Just relax and let your mind go blank. That shouldn't be too hard for you.

I'm a scientist and I'm believing in fairy tales.

He's dead. I know it's a big inconvenience for everyone.

So you just figured you'd come here, to the most hostile environment known to men, with no training of any kind, and see how it went?

As head of security it is my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed.

This low gravity will make you soft. And when you get soft, Pandora will eat you whole and shit you out.

Out beyond that fence every living thing that crawls, flies or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubees.

I can do it with minimal casualties to the indigenous. We'll clear them out with gas first. It'll be humane. More or less.

Now, the hostiles believe that this mountain stronghold of theirs is well protected by their — their deity. And when we destroy it, we will blast a crater in their racial memory so deep that they won't come within a thousand klicks of this place ever again.

This is why we're here, because this little grey rock sells for twenty million a kilo.

Stay with the ship. One idiot with a gun is enough.

In cryo, you don't dream at all. It doesn't *feel* like six years - more like a fifth of Tequila and an ass kicking. Tommy was a scientist, not me. He was the one who wanted to get shot light years out in space to find the answers.

Sometimes your whole life boils down to one insane move

EVENT HORIZON

The ship brought me back. I told you she won't let me leave - she won't let anyone leave. Did you really think you could destroy this ship? She's defied space and time. She's been to a place you couldn't possibly imagine. And now... it is time to go back.

I wasn't going to tell you this. I've been listening to the distress signal, and I, um, think I made a mistake in the translation.

Look, if what Doctor Weir tells us is true, this ship has been beyond the boundaries of our universe, of known scientific reality. Who knows where it's been, what it's seen. Or what it's brought back with it.

I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her, Miller. Isn't she beautiful?

What are you telling me, that this ship is alive?

FLASH GORDON

Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.

No! Not the bore worms!

You pitiful fool! My life is not for any Earthling to give or take!

SUNSHINE

When a Stellar Bomb is triggered, very little will happen at first -and then a spark, will pop into existance, and it will hang for an instant, hovering in space and then, it will split into two, and those will split again, and again, and again... detonation beyond all imaging - the big bang on a small scale. - a new star born out of a dying one... I think it will be beautiful.

Icarus... who is the fifth crew member?

In psych tests on deep space, I ran a number of sensory deprivation trials, tested in total darkness, on floatation tanks - and the point about darkness is, you float in it. You and the darkness are distinct from each other because darkness is an absence of something, it's a vacuum. But total light envelops you. It becomes you. It's very strange... I recommend it.

We have an excess of manliness in the comm center right now.

BATTLEFIELD EARTH

Pathetic. All the green and the blue sky. They told me this planet was ugly, but this has got to be one of the ugliest crap holes in the entire universe.

I hate these puny undersized planets. The gravity is so... different.

I am going to make you as happy as a baby Psychlo on a straight diet of kerbango.

While you were still learning how to spell your name, I was being trained to conquer galaxies!
