As if they said, "FREEZE!" It was more like, "BANG BANG, CLEAR"

Love this film. But if I had to quote it:

"There are many reasons not to kill you Mr. Hennesy, but one of them is not that you'll be missed by NASA."

Yeah, it's a good quote, but nothing I can hang on my wall and look at to help me get through the day like the other one. :P

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

"But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses."

The episode aired the night before my thesis defense...and it is the one line from any TV show that I can quote to this day.

"The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time." ~ John Stuart Mill

....it is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical, will live the relation to another as something alive..... - Rilke

Quotes... I can't remember any off the top of my head, but what immediately came to mind was "Winnie-the-Pooh". Have you ever read it as an adult? It is the most wonderful, soothing, peaceful thing one can ever read, imo. The language is magnificent.

Now you guys are stuck. I'm going to have to find my Winnie-the-Pooh book and give a quote each day. The first one isn't a quote from the book itself -- it's the dedication of the book from A.A. Milne to his wife:

___________________

To Her

Hand in hand we come
Christopher Robin and I
To lay this book in your lap.
Say you're surprised?
Say you like it?
Say it's just what you wanted?
Because it's yours--
Because we love you


My fav Pooh quote:

“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.”
