Morpheus: I thank you. The kings of Hell are honorable. I will remember this.
Lucifer: Honorable? You joke, surely. Look around you, Morpheus. The million Lords of Hell stand arrayed about you. Tell us why we should let you leave? Helmet or no, you have no power here... what power have dreams in hell?
Morpheus: You say I have no power? Perhaps you speak truly... But -- you say that Dreams have no power here? Tell me, Lucifer Morningstar.. Ask yourselves, all of you... What power would Hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven?


Chigurh: And you know what's going to happen now. You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it.
Wells: You go to hell.
Chigurh: Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
Wells: Do you have any idea how goddamn crazy you are?
Chigurh: You mean the nature of this conversation?
Wells: I mean the nature of you.


'Tada upita samu sebe voli li ona mene, ali ja o tome nisam mogao ništa znati. Nakon kraće šutnje promrmlja da sam čudan, da me zacijelo upravo zbog toga voli, ali da ću joj možda jednog dana i omrznuti iz istog razloga.'

Sally: He just met her... She's supposed to be his transitional person, she's not supposed to be the ONE. All this time I thought he didn't want to get married. But, the truth is, he didn't want to marry me. He didn't love me.
Harry: If you could take him back now, would you?
Sally: No. But why didn't he want to marry me? What's the matter with me?
Harry: Nothing.
Sally: I'm difficult.
Harry: You're challenging.
Sally: I'm too structured, I'm completely closed off.
Harry: But in a good way.
Sally: No, no, no, I drove him away. AND, I'm gonna be forty.
Harry: When?
Sally: Someday.
Harry: In eight years.
Sally: But it's there. It's just sitting there, like some big dead end. And it's not the same for men. Charlie Chaplin had kids when he was 73.
Harry: Yeah, but he was too old to pick them up.

Mia: Don't you hate that?
Vincent: What?
Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?
Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.
Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.

President Merkin Muffley: You mean people could actually stay down there for a hundred years?
Dr. Strangelove: It would not be difficult, Mein Fuhrer. Nuclear reactors could... I'm sorry, Mr. President... nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely.


'Već osamnaest milijuna godina hodamo na stražnjim nogama, a još smo četvoronošci uglavnom svi! I što to znači, znati čitati i pisati, kada pišemo već sigurno dulje od pedeset hiljada godina, a svakih stotinu godina rodi se po jedan čovjek, koji umije doista pisati, a njega ne čita nitko!'

'Nijedan čovjek nije otok, sasvim sam za sebe;
svaki je čovjek dio kontinenta, dio zemlje;
ako more odnese grudu zemlje - Europe je manje,
kao da je odnijelo kakav rt, posjed tvoga prijatelja ili tvoj vlastiti;
smrt svakoga čovjeka smanjuje mene, jer sam obuhvćcen u čovječanstvu;
I zato nikad ne pitaj kome zvono zvoni; tebi zvoni.'
