Religulous  - Quotes

 Bill Maher:
The plain fact is religion must die for mankind to live. The hour is getting very late to be able to indulge in having key decisions made by religious people - by irrationalists - by those who would steer the ship of state, not by a compass, but by the equivalent of reading the entrails of a chicken.
 



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.
 

A Mighty Wind  - Quotes

 Terry Bohner:
This is not an occult science. This is not one of those crazy systems of divination and astrology. That stuff's hooey, and you've got to have a screw loose to go in for that sort of thing. Our beliefs are fairly commonplace and simple to understand. Humankind is simply materialized color operating on the 49th vibration. You would make that conclusion walking down the street or going to the store.

Justice League: The New Frontier  - Quotes

 
[last lines]
John F. Kennedy:
The pioneers gave up their safety, their comfort, and sometimes their lives to build our new west. They were determined to make the new world strong and free - an example to the world. Some would say that those struggles are all over. That all the horizons have been explored. That all the battles have been won. That there is no longer an American frontier. And we stand today on the edge of a new frontier. The frontier of unknown opportunities and perils. Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science. Unsolved problems of peace and war. Unconquered pockets of ignorance and prejudice. I'm asking each of you to be pioneers towards that New Frontier. My call is to the young in heart, regardless of age. Can we carry through in an age where we will witness not only new breakthroughs in weapons of destruction, but also a race for mastery of the sky and the rain, the ocean and the tides, the far side of space, and the inside of men's minds? All mankind waits upon out decision. A whole world waits to see what we shall do. And we cannot fail that trust, and we cannot fail to try.
 

In Bruges  - Quotes

 Ken:
[looking at a surreal Bosch painting] It's Judgment Day, you know?
Ray:
No. What's that then?
Ken:
Well, it's, you know, the final day on Earth, when mankind will be judged for the crimes they've committed and that.
Ray:
Oh. And see who gets into heaven and who gets into hell and all that.
Ken:
Yeah. And what's the other place?
Ray:
Purgatory.
Ken:
Purgatory... what's that?
Ray:
Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really shit, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham. [pause]
Ray:
Do you believe in all that stuff, Ken?
Ken:
About Tottenham?

Blues Brothers 2000  - Quotes

 Elwood Blues:
[addressing the rest if the band] You may go if you wish. But remember this: walk away now and you walk away from your crafts, your skills, your vocations; leaving the next generation with nothing but recycled, digitally-sampled techno-grooves, quasi-synth rhythms, pseudo-songs of violence-laden gangsta-rap, acid pop, and simpering, saccharine, soulless slush. Depart now and you forever separate yourselves from the vital American legacies of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Memphis Slim, Blind Boy Fuller, Louie Jordon, Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonnyboy Williamson I and II, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, Lieber and Stoller, and Robert K. Weiss.
Donald "Duck" Dunn:
Who is Robert K. Weiss? [the rest of the band shrug]
Elwood Blues:
Turn your backs now and you snuff out the fragile candles of Blues, R&B and Soul, and when those flames flicker and expire, the light of the world is extinguished because the music which has moved mankind through seven decades leading to the millennium will whither and die on the vine of abandonment and neglect. [he walks off, followed by Buster, Mack and then the rest of the band]

Equilibrium  - Quotes

 
[first lines]
DuPont:
In the first years of the 21st century, a third World War broke out. Those of us who survived knew mankind could never survive a fourth; that our own volatile natures could simply no longer be risked. So we have created a new arm of the law: The Grammaton Cleric, whose sole task it is to seek out and eradicate the true source of man's inhumanity to man - his ability to feel.

Dragonheart: A New Beginning  - Quotes

 Lord Osric of Crossley:
One solitary dragon escaped Bowen's wrath and fled to the East, a dragon who learned that the pledge to serve mankind was nothing more than a *cruel joke*! Oh, oh, he sought his revenge! But, in the end, his heart too was... plundered. And he was cursed, to live out his life in the form he hated most... as a man.

Clerks II  - Quotes

 Randal Graves:
The Transformers were a total slight against God. In as much as God sent his only begotten son to die on the cross to redeem mankind and all we did to pay him back was make terrible fucking cartoons, like the Transformers.
