"I'm going to fight for peace, justice and The American Way". Superman - the movie.
I was present at the first showing of Superman in Trondheim, Norway. This line was met with a unison roar of laughter from an audience of 1200, followed by a stomp clap that drowned the next few spoken lines.

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
Thanks,

This, from the same scene as the Francis quote in Stripes.
"There was one?"
My brother and I use it whenever we describe gettting into a nonsense conversation.
Full Quote:
Quote: Cruiser : I joined the army 'cause my father and my brother were in the army. I thought I'd better join before I got drafted.
Sergeant Hulka : Son, there ain't no draft no more.
Cruiser : There was one?

The barbarian chieftain said: “What then are the
greatest things that a man may find in life?” This is the sort of thing you’re supposed to say to maintain steppecred in barbarian circles.
The man on his right thoughtfully drank his cocktail of mare’s milk and snowcat blood, and spoke thus: “The crisp horizon of the steppe, the wind in your hair, a fresh horse under you.”
The man on his left said: “The cry of the white eagle in the heights, the fall of snow in the forest, a true arrow in your bow.”
The chieftain nodded, and said: “Surely it is the sight of your enemy slain, the humiliation of his tribe and the lamentation of his women.”
There was a general murmur of whiskery approval at this outrageous display.
Then the chieftain turned respectfully to his guest, a small figure carefully warming his chilblains by the fire, and said: “But our guest, whose name is legend, must
tell us truly: What is it that a man may call the greatest things in life?”
The guest paused in the middle of another unsuccessful attempt to light up. “What shay?” he said, toothlessly.
“I said: What is it that a man may call the greatest things in life?”
The warriors leaned closer. This should be worth hearing.
The guest thought long and hard and then said, with deliberation: “Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper.”

"Don't talk like you're one of them! You're not... even if you'd like to be. To them you're just a freak, like me. They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their "code"... it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these uh, these "civilized people", they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve."
"This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever."
"I'm a dog chasing cars... I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. I just... do things. I'm just the wrench in the gears. I hate plans."

One time I told Chris in an email that I was a peacock and he had to let me fly and he wrote back: "peacocks don't fly."

I've been taking a break from coding lately, but work beckons. Now I've got a project in front of me on a fairly tight deadline, so every day matters.
I pulled up my project which I managed to work on for a couple of hours yesterday but never got in "the zone"
At least some progress was made.
Now I pull it up, and I know what I wrote was legible, but I don't understand it. I should be able to.
Anyone who has read Douglas Adams knows what I mean when I say "the long dark teatime of the soul" - the Sunday afternoon where nothing ever seems to get any traction, and you're listless - that sort of thing, well it has overcome me now, and it's not even Sunday.
Today is a write off. I don't know what's up with my head today, but it's like I can't focus on anything. I can't afford for this to continue, and it's not like me.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
