C : "Do you believe in the devil? You know, a supreme evil being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, and destruction of man?"
H : "I'm not sure that man needs the help."

C : "Why isn't my life like a situation comedy? Why don't I have a bunch of friends with nothing better to do but drop by and instigate wacky adventures? Why aren't my conversations peppered with spontaneous witticisms? Why don't my friends demonstrate heartfelt concern for my well being when I have problems? ...I gotta get my life some writers."

C : "A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day."

H : "I never really thought about the literary possibilities of maths."
C : "I prefer to savour the mystery."

H : "What do you think is the secret to happiness? Is it money, power or fame?"
C : "I'd choose money. If you have enough money, you can buy fame and power. That way you can have it all and be really happy. Happiness is being famous for your financial ability to indulge in every kind of excess."
H : "I suppose thats *one* way to define it."
C : "The part I think I'd like best is crushing people who get in my way."

C : "As a math atheist, I should be excused from this."

H : "This one's tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen ..."

"Tolerant, but not stupid! Look, just because you have to tolerate something doesn't mean you have to approve of it! ...'Tolerate' means you're just putting up with it! You tolerate a crying child sitting next to you on the airplane or, or you tolerate a bad cold. It can still piss you off!"
~ South Park, Mr. Garrison

Stan : "Why would God let Kenny die, Chef? Why? Kenny's my friend. Why can't God take someone else's friend?"
Chef : "Stan, sometimes God takes those closest to us, because it makes him feel better about himself. He is a very vengeful God, Stan. He's all pissed off about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can't get over it, so he doesn't care who he takes. Children, puppies, it don't matter to him, so long as it makes us sad. Do you understand?"
Stan : "But then, why does God give us anything to start with?"
Chef : "Well, look at it this way: if you want to make a baby cry, first you give it a lollipop. Then you take it away. If you never give it a lollipop to begin with, then you would have nothin' to cry about. That's like God, who gives us life and love and help just so that he can tear it all away and make us cry, so he can drink the sweet milk of our tears. You see, it's our tears, Stan, that give God his great power."
Stan : "I thnk I understand."
~ South Park, Chef explains death to Stan, when Kenny dies for real

"Aaron, I'm standing at the time border which scientists say follow Terminator rules. That is, it's one way only and you can't go back.

Anyway, it appears that the man from the future is here to stay."
~ South Park, A Reporter at the 'time border'

"I learned somethin' today. This country was founded by some of the smartest thinkers the world has ever seen. And they knew one thing: that a truly great country can go to war, and at the same time, act like it doesn't want to. You people who are for the war, you need the protesters. Because they make the country look like it's made of sane, caring individuals. And you people who are anti-war, you need these flag-wavers, because, if our whole country was made up of nothing but soft pussy protesters, we'd get taken down in a second. That's why the founding fathers decided we should have both. It's called 'having your cake and eating it too'."

Kyle to Cartman: "I believe you... I believe that  you believe  you helped write that joke. That's how people like you work.

--- About Life ---

"Happiness is merely a matter of your success criteria." ~
"Nothing’s ever hard if you never get discouraged." ~

"I have yet to find the person, however great or exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of criticism."
~ Andrew Carnegie, one of the richest guys in the world in his time  (quoted in "How to Win Friends...")

"99 times out of 100, people don't criticize themselves for anything, no matter how wrong it may be.

Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment."
~ Dale Carnegie, author of "How to win Friend and Influence People"

"As much as we thirst for approval, we dread condemnation."
~ Hans Selye, psychologist (quoted in "How to Win Friends...")

"There is only one way under high heaven to get anybody to do anything, and that is by making the other person want to do it. There is no other way."
~ Dale Carnegie, "How to Win Friends..."

Preston: I’m alive… I live… to safeguard the continuity of this great society. To serve Libria.
Mary: It’s circular. You exist to continue your own existence. What’s the point.
Preston: What’s the point of your existence?
Mary: (quickly) To FEEL. ‘Cause you’ve never done it, you can never know it, but it’s as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.
~ Kurt Wimmer, writer/director of Equilibrium

"Every major change is like death: you can't know what will be on the other side until you're there." ... "Oh... This morphine has made me all philosophical!"
~ Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park (written by Michael Crichton)

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
~ E. Roosevelt

"A dog is the only creature in the world whose sole purpose in life is to make others smile. You should be like a dog. A dog perks up and wags its tail when a friend enters the room. You should do likewise."
~ Dale Carnegie, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" (paraphrased)

"Please leave my door open just a crack, 'cuz I feel like such an insomniac. Why do I tire of counting sheep, when I'm far too tired to fall asleep?  ...   I'd like to make myself believe that Planet Earth turns slowly... "

---About Movie Making---

"NASA has this phrase that they like: 'Failure is not an option.' but failure has to be an option, in art and in exploration, because it's a leap of faith, and no important endeavor or innovation was done without risk....
Failure is an option, but fear is not."
~ James Cameron

"One thing Don and I try to do in all our movies is give the audience the emotion of triumph, which our characters go through. We did that in Flashdance and Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun.

You have an actor like Bruce Willis and [when] you pay him a lot of money, you expect the picture to open in the amount you pay him. And once it doesn't he doesn't get paid that money anymore. There are a lot of great business men in Hollywood, and they don't just throw away money.  The problem is it's very competative. ... You've got an actor who's a big star... [Only if] the studios band together and say we're not going to pay more than 20 million dollars to an actor, [only then] you can control it. But there's always one studio that's down, that needs that film, needs that star, and they pay him.

If you hire talented people, they make you look good. And I strive and have an ability to find talented people."
~Jerry Bruckheimer, Producer

“Optimism is what being a photographer is about. You look through the lens at the ugliness in this world, and there's always some beauty to find.”
~ Director Michael Bay

"Let 'em hate all they all they want - hate is a negative wasted energy. People who hate generally are miserable in their own lives. Life is way too short to have that negative emotion. And the wonderful thing - no matter how much they want to hate - I still love what I do!

Besides, I'm the one with the 200 million dollar bank account!"
~ Michael Bay

"Isn't the whole idea to fill the theaters? I'm the first to admit it isn't f-cking brain surgery. You do it because you want approval from the audience. Failure is when no one shows up. When people--not the critics--absolutely hate your movie."
~ Director Michael Bay

"Why did Armageddon hit huge and Godzilla sink? They both apparently had the same 'formula.' It all comes down to the characters, and there is something that made Armageddon the 8th highest grossing movie of all time that critics and film teachers just won't be able to explain."
~ Michael Bay

"[Roger Ebert] commented on TV that bombs don't fall [the way they did in Pearl Harbor]. Does he actually think we didn't research every nook and cranny of how armor-piercing bombs fell? He's watched too many movies. He thinks they all fall flat - armor-piercing bombs fall straight down, that's the way it was designed! But HE's on the air pontificating and giving the wrong information. That's insulting!"
~ Michael bay

"We didn’t always see eye to eye, but we always fought back to back."
~ Director James Cameron about his producer on Terminator

" *Reporter*:
If eliminating emotions isn't the answer to mankind's problems, what do you think is?
*Kurt Wimmer, Director of Equilibrium*:
Killing all the mother f---ing critics. Oh, and education. "

"The show is a long form story and you've got to watch the whole story. It's not like a 30-minute story where it's this safe sort of thing...it's unpredictable. I think Dragon Ball Z rocks."
~ Bruce Faulconer, Composer: Dragonball Z

"Cell starts off being this little thing almost like a slug and he grows, absorbs people and gets stronger - his music started out imperfect like grunge sounds and later he became perfect and his music got cleaner."
~ Bruce Faulconer, Composer: Dragonball Z
