Simon Wilder: [quoting Walt Whitman] "To drive free, to love free, to court destruction with taunts, to feed the remainder of life with one hour of fullness and freedom - one brief hour of madness and joy." Marty: Would you like to dance? Monty: [to Simon] Maybe you shouldn't... Simon Wilder: Let's not go overboard with this "staying alive" junk.
Robert McNamara: Lesson #2: The indefinite combination of human fallibility and nuclear weapons will lead to the destruction of nations.
[on the Galactica's 1-MC after news of the attack came in] Adama: This is the Commander. Moments ago, this ship received word of a Cylon attack against our homeworlds is under way. We do not know the size or the disposition or the strength of the enemy forces, but all indications point to a massive assault against Colonial defenses. Admiral Nagala has taken personal command of the Fleet aboard the battlestar Atlantia following the complete destruction of Picon Fleet Headquarters in the first wave of the attacks. "How? Why?" doesn't really matter now. What does matter is that as of this moment, we are at war. You've trained for this. You're ready for this. Stand to your duties, trust your fellow shipmates, and we'll all get through this. Further updates as we get them. Thank you.
Donnie: They say right when they flood the house and they tear it to shreds that... destruction is a form of creation," so the fact that they burn the money is ironic. They just want to see what happens when they tear the world apart. They want to change things.
Dr. Moreau: Permit me Mr.Douglas, to tell you something of the Devil as I've come to know him. The Devil is that element in human nature, that impels us to destroy and debase. Edward Douglas: And what are you about upon this island but destruction and debasement. Dr. Moreau: Oh well, I can tell you very plainly... [Majai interrupts by putting his foot on the dinner table to which Dr.Moreau reacts] Dr. Moreau: No please, don't do that. [Majai removes foot from table] Dr. Moreau: For 17 years I have been striving to create a... some measure of refinement in the human species you see. And it is here, on this very island, that I sir, have found the very essence of the Devil. Edward Douglas: What do you mean? Dr. Moreau: I've seen the Devil, in my microscope and I have chained him, and I suppose you could say in a sense metaphorically speaking, I have cut him to pieces. The Devil, Mr.Douglas, I've found is nothing more than a tiresome collection of genes, and it is with great assurance that I can tell you, that Lucifer, Son of Morning is no more.
[first lines] Title Card: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the WTC." - National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice Title Card: "There were lots of warnings." - Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld Title Card: "No warnings." - Press Secretary Ari Fleischer Title Card: "Your government failed you, and I failed you." - White House Advisor Richard Clarke Narrator: March 13, 1962. Lionel Lemnitzer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, presents a proposal to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara named Operation Northwoods. The Document proposes staging terror attacks in and around Guantanamo Bay to provide a pretext for military intervention in Cuba. The plans included: starting rumors... staging a terror campaign in Miami, Florida and Washington, DC, and finally, destroying a drone aircraft over Cuban waters. The passengers, federal agents in reality, would allegedly be college students on vacation. A plane at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a registered civil aircraft belonging to a CIA front in Miami. The duplicate would be substituted for the real plane and loaded with the passengers. The real plane would be converted into a drone. The two planes would rendezvous south of Florida. The passenger laden plane would land at Eglin Airforce Base to evacuate its passengers and return to its original status. The drone would pick up the scheduled flight plan and, over Cuban waters, transmit a mayday-signal before being blown up by remote control. - The plan is rejected by McNamara and President John F. Kennedy removes Lemnitzer as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff month later. Narrator: December 1, 1984. A remote controlled Boeing 720 takes off in Edwards AFB and is crashlanded by NASA for reseach. Before its destruction the plane flew unmanned for a total of 16h 22 min including ten takeoffs, 69 approaches, and 13 landings.

Donna Malone: Hey! Watch it Dr. Evil. Oliver: Oh no, did I offend you? Well I don't know what else to call someone who commits grand theft auto, reckless driving and destruction of property all in the course of 10 minutes. Donna Malone: Someone cooler than you'll ever be. Oliver: Oh! O-o-o-o-oh! Woo! That's fantastic! I didn't know we had Ellen DeGeneres in the house.
The Operative: That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain. Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it. Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [to Inara] Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.
[after Kay informs Zed that they have a bug] Jay: And what, we don't like bugs? Kay: Bugs thrive on carnage, Tiger. They consume, infest, destroy, live off the death and destruction of other species. Jay: You were stung as a child, weren't you?
[first lines] Bill Basch: There is one thing that has troubled me and has troubled the world, that the Germans dedicated man-power and trains and trucks and energy toward the destruction of the Jews to the last day. Had they stopped 6 months before the end of the war and dedicated that energy towards strengthening themselves, they may have carried on the war in London, but it was more important to them to kill the Jew than in winning the war.
[overhearing the destruction of France via telephone] President Dale: ...Mon dieu...
Rowan Scott: Everything is energy. Everything is relationship. And this I believe will guide future generations, I hope, - so that perhaps we can recover from this destructive phase of our history, - the world and its cycle of destruction and construction... Because this is a place where Shiva dances. This is Shiva dancing the worlds in and out of existence. This is the eternal dance of existence.
Hexxus: [singing] I see the world and all the creatures in it, / I suck 'em dry and spit 'em out like spinach. / 'Cause greedy human beings will always lend a hand, / with the destruction of this worthless jungle land. / And what a wonderful machine they have provided, / To slice a path of doom with my sweet breath to guide it.
