“I never saved anything for the swim back” - Gattaca
The movie was awful but this quote is a gem - Captain Kirk in Star Trek V - as they are meeting the alien that Sybok thought to be god. Alien requests that they move the Enterprise closer so he can use it. Kirk raises his hand and asks god "Why does god need a starship?"
"You don't ask the Almighty for his id!" ;-P
"The Truth? You can't handle the truth!"
Anyone who doesn't know this quote shouldn't be on the site. :->
In one quote, Aaron Sorkin captures perfectly the attitude of Power everywhere. We can't handle the truth, so we shouldn't be told the truth.
But the real truth is they can't handle the Power and shouldn't have it.

@maturin1919 Big Kahuna burger. I like to say it when I'm having a burger and see who gets it. I also like to say "You're sooooooo good lookin'" when somebody sneezes.

I think of this one whenever I feel like I'm in an impossible situation. Then I laugh myself out of accepting it, and make a different determination on the universe, which does whatever we imagine, if we can ignore "reality."
Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter.
“A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a mental construction."
"Always with you what cannot be done."

I just sat there. I just held Shelby's hand. There was no noise, no tremble, just peace. Oh god. I realize as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life.-M'Lynn- Steel Magnolias

Conan: To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.
