Senior Trip - Quotes

 Dags:
Mr. President, maybe Senator Lurman is right. Maybe we are screw ups. We didn't even write the letter to you, Lisa here did. She's an honor student. Now I never got the chance to read it yet, but... well I'm pretty sure that whatever she said about education reform must be really cool!
Virus:
Yeah, you goverment guys have to make sure that future generations of kids get a good education so they... don't end up like us.

City of Ember - Quotes

 Loris Harrow:
[narrating] On the day the world ended, the fate of mankind was carried in a small metal box. In a secret location, architects, scientists and engineers met and concluded that there was only one hope for our future: to build an underground city designed to keep its citizens protected for generations to come. The box was entrusted to the first mayor, who was to pass it on to her successor. As the years counted down, the box passed from mayor to mayor. None knew what secrets it held, only that it would open when it was needed most. But fate ran another course, and the chain was broken. The box was tucked away and forgotten, and as the city grew old and began to crumble, the box quietly clicked open.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Quotes

 Sam Witwicky:
You won't give me a day, huh? You won't give me one day in college?
Optimus Prime:
I'm sorry, Sam, but the last fragment of the Allspark was stolen.
Sam Witwicky:
Like what? Decepticons stole it?
Optimus Prime:
We placed it under human protection at your government's request... but I'm here for your help, Sam, because your leaders believe we brought vengeance upon your planet. Perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded by another human of the trust we share.
Sam Witwicky:
This isn't my war!
Optimus Prime:
Not yet. But I fear it soon will be. Your world must not share the same fate as Cybertron. Whole generations lost...
Sam Witwicky:
I know. And I want to help you, I do, but I am not some alien ambassador, you know? I'm a normal kid with normal problems. I am where I'm supposed to be. I'm sorry, I... I really am...
Optimus Prime:
Sam, fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.
Sam Witwicky:
You're Optimus Prime. You don't need me. [Sam walks away]
Optimus Prime:
We do, more than you know...

C.S. Lewis - Quotes

 We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the ris-

ing generation. I am an oldster myself and might be

expected to take the oldsters' side, but in fact I have

been far more impressed by the bad manners of par-

ents to children than by those of children to parents.

Who has not been the embarrassed guest at family

meals where the father or mother treated their

grown-up offspring with an incivility which, offered

to any other young people, would simply have termi-

nated the acquaintance? Dogmatic assertions on mat-

ters which the children understand and their elders

don't, ruthless interruptions, flat contradictions,

ridicule of things the young take seriously some-

times of their religion insulting references to their

friends, all provide an easy answer to the question

The Sixth Sense - Quotes

 Stanley Cunningham:
Philadelphia is one of the oldest cities in this country. A lot of generations have lived here and died here. Almost any place you go in this city has a history and a story behind it. Even this school and the grounds it sits on. Can anyone guess what this building was used for a hundred years ago, before you went to this school, before I went to this school? Yes, Cole?
Cole Sear:
They used to hang people here.
Stanley Cunningham:
No, uh, that, mm-mm, that's not correct. Uh, where'd you hear that?
Cole Sear:
They'd pull the people in, crying and kissing their families 'bye. People watching would spit at them.
Stanley Cunningham:
Uh, Cole, this, this building was a legal courthouse. Laws were passed here. Some of the very first laws of this country. This whole building was full of, uh, lawyers, uh, lawmakers.
Cole Sear:
They were the ones that hanged everybody.

Socrates - Quotes

 The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
