The only thing that counts in the end power...naked, merciless force!!!

We don't kill out enemies Mister Brent, we get our enemies to kill each other.

It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.

No one who leads so many could possibly kneel so quickly.

Got any socio-political lines from movies & TV that are memorable? Here's the place.

What is the power of steel compared to the hand that wields it?

Stocks may rise and fall, utilities and transportation systems may collapse, people are no damn good, but they do need land, and they will pay through the nose to get it.

I don't know which is worse; you don't see them screwing each over for a God-damn percentage.

Gerald: "You see Kyle, we live in a liberal-democratic society, and democrats make sexual harassment laws, these laws tell us what we can and can't say in the work place, and what we can and can't do in the work place."

Kyle: "Isn't that Fascism?"

Gerald: "No, because we don't call it Fascism."

" I expected you to be stupid , but I underestimated Yewww ! You're a TOTAL FREAKIN' REE-TARD ! "

**************************************************
" I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain. "
**************************************************
" I think over again
My small adventures
My fears,

Those small ones
That seemed so big,
For all the vital things
I had to get and to reach.
And yet, there is only
One great thing.

The only thing:
To live to see
The great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world. "

"Of course he has a knife! He always has a knife. We all have knives. It's 1183 and we're barbarians. How clear we make it. Oh, my piglets, we're the origins of war. Not history's forces nor the times nor justice nor the lack of it nor causes nor religions nor ideas nor kinds of government nor any other thing! We are the killers; we breed war. We carry it, like syphilis, inside. Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten."

"It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."

"We went looking for the enemy, but the enemy was us."

And finally I'd like include the entire conversation from Seven between Somerset, Mills and John Doe during their car ride but in the interest of brevity I'll pare it down. Might not be 100% accurate about the exact lines but here it is.

Mills: "I thought all you did was kill innocent people?"

John Doe: "Innnocent? Is that supposed to be some kind of joke? We see a deadly sin on every street corner and tolerate it because it's commonplace. Only in a world this shitty could you call these people innocent and keep a straight face."

If sweet, sweet God loves you so, then I will make you worthy of His love. But it's only in the face of horror that you truly find your noble self. And you can be so noble. So... I will bring you pain, I will bring you horror. So that you may rise above it. So that those of you who will survive this reign of hell on earth will be worthy of God's love.

Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.
