Dean: Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. "Things were clearer for him," Kansky noted. Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny.
[last lines] Dr. Randolph Braham: The Holocaust has to be taught as a chapter in the long history of man's inhumanity to man. One cannot ignore the discrimination inflicted on many people because of race color or creed. One cannot ignore slavery. One cannot ignore the burning of witches. One cannot ignore the killing Christians during the Roman period. The Holocaust perhaps is the culmination of the kind of horror that can occur when man loses his integrity, his belief in the sanctity of human life.
Annie Braddock: There's a common belief among anthropologists that you must immerse yourself in an unfamiliar world in order to truly understand your own.
Bryan Bedford: Your Honor, a lot of people believe in Mr. Kringle. Including millions of children. If you rule against him, you won't destroy anyone's belief but you will destroy the man they believe in. Mr. Kringle is not concerned for himself, if he was he wouldn't be here. He is in this regrettable positon because he is willing to sacrifice himself for children. To create in their minds a world far better than the one we've made for them. If this is, as Mr. Collins suggests, a masquerade then Mr. Kringle is eager to forfeit his freedom to preserve that masquerade. To subject himself to prosecution to protect the children's right to believe. If this court finds that Mr. Kringle is not who he says he is, that there is no Santa, I ask the court to judge which is worse: A lie that draws a smile or a truth that draws a tear.
[Lancelot finds Arthur praying in the stable] Lancelot: Why do you always talk to God and not to me? Pray to whomever you pray that we don't cross the Saxons. Arthur: My faith is what protects me, Lancelot. Why do you challenge this? Lancelot: I don't like anything that puts a man on his knees. Arthur: No man fears to kneel before the God he trusts. Without faith, without belief in something, what are we?
Rufus: People die for it, people kill for it. The whole of existence is in jeopardy right now, because of the Catholic belief structure, regarding this plenary indulgence bullshit. Bartlteby and Loki, whether they know it or not, are exploiting that belief. And if they're successful, you and me, all of this, ends in a heartbeat. All in a belief.
Catherine Boyd: [expressing her disbelief in Ed's scientific credentials] He is a mechanic! Albert Einstein: I was a clerk in a patent office. Faraday was a carpenter. Isaac Newton was an insurance salesman.
Mad Holy Old Witch: Belief in yourself is what you lack. Attack, attack, and never look back.
[from trailer] Edward Wilson: It isn't about dedication and loyalty, it's about belief in what we do.
Bethany: You're saying that having beliefs is a bad thing? Rufus: I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier.
Joey: This belief thing kills me. It's like, all theological concepts are basically unprovable. So they invented faith. Which was genius!
Ivy Walker: [after Noah hands her some red berries] Oh, berries! What a splendid present! Lucius Hunt: Be cautious. You are holding the bad color. Ivy Walker: [becomes worried, covors the berries with her hands] This color attracts Those We Don't Speak Of. [Turning to Noah] Ivy Walker: You ought not pick that colour berry anymore. [Noah nods] Lucius Hunt: [In a hushed whisper] He picked it from his pocket. Ivy Walker: Your breathing has changed. What's wrong? Lucius Hunt: [to Noah] If you did not pick this now, where did you get it? [Noah takes Lucius's hand and leads him through the forest. Cut to scene where we hear Lucius addressing the Elders] Lucius Hunt: Today at resting rock, Noah Percy handed Ivy Walker berries of the bad color. When asked where he had found these berries, for they were unlike any I have seen, he pointd to the drawing on Resting Rock. It is my knowledge that Noah has traveled into the woods on many occasions. It also confirms my belief that the creatures did not harm Noah because of his innocence, and they would let me through to fetch medicines.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [RE: What they found on Miranda] This record here's about twelve years old. Parliament buried it and it stayed buried until River here dug it up. This is what they were afraid she knew. And they were right to fear. There's a universe of folk who're gonna know it, too. Someone *has to* speak for these people. [pause] Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave.
Waverly Jong: Even at that age, I knew I had an amazing gift: this power, this belief in myself, to be better than anyone else. If someone was bigger than me, older than me, it didn't matter. And if they were mean, I could make 'em sorry.
Scully: I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you. It's so intense that sometimes it's blinding.
Rev. Fred Sultan: I like you. You have a goal, and you have the balls to reach that goal. You have this blind stupid belief in yourself.
Nokes: [after breaking up fight] So you Hell's Kitchen's Boys get any lunch? Young Michael: I got to smell it. Nokes: [laughing] You got to smell it, that's good [boys start walking back to line] Nokes: , Hey, Hey, Hey, where you going? Young Michael: You said to get lunch. Nokes: Oh, you boys don't need to get back in line to get lunch 'cause there's plenty to eat right where you're standing [looks at food on floor] Nokes: , YOU CAN SMELL IT. Young Michael: [looks at food in disbelief and shock] I'm not hungry. Nokes: Well I don't give a fuck if you're hungry or not. You eat because I'm telling to eat. Young Michael: [looks down at food again] I'm still not hungry! Young Michael: [gets Hit by Nightstick] Uh, Ooh! Nokes: I'll tell you when you're hungry or not, now eat! Nokes: [looks at Shakes, Tommy, and John] Excuse me, what the fuck are you looking at? GET THE FUCK DOWN ON YOUR GODDAMN KNEES AND FINISH YOUR GODDAMN LUNCH!
Dragon: We have the belief that we can be somebody... and that we're gonna be somebody.We're gonna... we're gonna rise, no matter what.
Bill: I'm just, I'm just of the belief that, anybody, no matter how insignificant, deserves to... have a documentary made about them, so... since no one else is gonna let me follow 'em around with cameras and uh, document their lives, I decided to make one about me and my friends, so I've, hired some camera people and they're gonna follow us around for the next couple weeks, and uh... I'm really excited, its its like a, social slash philosophical slash psychological... thriller, type thing, so... I'm, I'm stoked and, uh, I hope you like it.
