1. All of this has happened before.
2. Ideas always seem strange until you try them on.
3. The shape of things to come.
4. There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
5. "Out-of-the-box" is where I live.
6. What is the most basic article of faith? This is not all that we are.

12. I'm a friendly, okay? We're all friendlies! So, let's just...be friendly!
13. The only problem isn't that he lies - that would be too easy - it's that he mixes lies with truth.
14. But the truth is, if we knew God's will, we'd all be gods, wouldn't we?
15. In war, you can only get killed once. In politics it can happen over and over.
16. We gotta roll the hard six.
17. You can't declare war on love.
18. Good and evil, we created those. Want to break the cycle? Break the cycle of birth, death, re-birth, destruction, escape, death. That's in our hands. In our hands only.
19. I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws; and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me.
20. Symbols matter. Uniforms, flags, banners - even mascots. They're like pieces of your heart that you can see.
21. Those things we deem essential, without which we cannot bear living. Without which life in general loses its specific value. Becomes abstract.

24. All I know is if there is a God, he's laughin' his ass off.
25. "What do you want to do now, Captain?" "The same thing we always do. Fight them until we can't."
26. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that's the man I want to be. And if I die today, that's the man I'll be.
27. It's not enough to survive. One must be worthy of survival.
28. You make your choices and you live with them. And in end you are those choices.
29. I just hope... I hope that... people realize, eventually, who I am.

Theme: Literary
1. When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
2. His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.
3. One's ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.
4. Some of you rich men have to be taught that all the world cannot be bribed into condoning your offences.
5. It is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.
6. Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms.
7. Some people’s affability is more deadly than the violence of coarser souls.
8. It was worth a wound; it was worth many wounds; to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask.
9. To accept such praise was to lower one’s standards.
10. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it.
11. Malingering is a subject upon which I have sometimes thought of writing a monograph.
12. Evil indeed is the man who has not one woman to mourn for him.
13. It is a question of cubic capacity. A man with so large a brain must have something in it.
14. She must be seven-and-twenty now – a sweet age, when youth has lost its self-consciousness and become a little sobered by experience.
15. Local aid is always either worthless or else biased.
16. I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers.
17. This looks like one of those unwelcome social summonses which call upon a man either to be bored or to lie.
18. My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplace of existence.
19. There is but one step from the grotesque to the horrible.
20. The faculties become refined when you starve them.
21. To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
22. One drawback of an active mind is that one can always conceive alternate explanations which would make our scent a false one.
23. The public not unnaturally goes on the principle that he who would heal others must himself be whole, and looks askance at the curative powers of the man whose own case is beyond the reach of his drugs.
24. There was madness in his method.
25. We can’t command our love, but we can our actions.
26. You call that love, Mr. Carruthers, but I should call it selfishness.
27. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.
28. I play the game for the game's own sake.
29. What one man can invent another can discover.
30. Mediocrity know nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.
