is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal

pleasure." "I'm
glad he's single because I'm gonna climb that like a tree." "Took
a hard, hard, violent fall. Kinda pinballed down. Hit a lot of

God, that dolphin looked not at me, but into my soul, into my god-damn
soul, Annie. And he said, 'I'm savin' you, Megan.' Not with

pain didn't take my mind away. My true disability is not having to
be in a wheel chair. It's having to be without her." "I
thought I understood it, that I could grasp it, but I didn't, not
really. Only the smudgeness of it; the pink-slippered, all-containered,
semi-precious eagerness of it. I didn't realize it would sometimes
be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea.
Because it's the halves that halve you in half. I didn't know, don't

gentleman allows a lady to maintain her fictions." "Peter,

who we are. And if anyone's destined for greatness, it's you, son. You

them. And know that wherever they take you, we'll always be here.

you had my curiosity. Now you have my attention." "Saruman
believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check.
But that is not what I have found. I've found it is the small
things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at
bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps
it is because I am afraid, and he gives me courage." "Hope.

A lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained." "Happy
Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor." "You
know, I've left so many behind. My family, the zoo, India, Anandi. I
suppose, in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting

after you kids came along, your Mom, she said something to me I never

and most extraordinary person in the universe. And you are capable

change everything." "If
you think about the very nature of life, I mean, from the very beginning,
the development of the first cell that divided into two cells - the

isn't right that other men should fight and die, that I would just

passion to serve as a medic, right in the middle with the other guys.
No less danger, just while everybody else is takin' life, I'm
gonna be savin' it. With the world so set on tearin' itself apart,

bit of it back together." "Separate
and equal are two different things. Just ’cause it’s

I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place where everyone
got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life's a
little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real
life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which
means, hey, glass half full, we all have a lot in common. And the
more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each
of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what type of animal
you are, from the biggest elephant, to our first fox, I implore you:

with all of us." "In

bullet." "Sometimes
to love someone, you gotta be a stranger." "We
rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster, that we

not to feel anything – what a waste! Have I spoken out of turn?
Then I'll say one more thing. It'll clear the air. I may have come
close, but I never had what you two have. Something always held me
back or stood in the way. How you live your life is your business.
Just remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once.
And before you know it, your heart's worn out, and, as for your
body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants
to come near it. Right now, there's sorrow, pain. Don't kill it -
and with it the joy you've felt." - "Now,
sink into the floor." - "OK,

don’t need everyone to love you, Phin. Just a few good people." - "You
are horrifying to look at. Yes. But that's a good thing....When

lose, but if you dig around, it's usually close by." - "There

know, Logan. This is what life looks like. A home, people who love
each other. Safe place. You should take a moment and feel it." - "I want you flat on your back. Helpless, tender, open with
only me to help. And then I want you strong again. You're not going
to die. You might wish you're going to die, but you're not going
to. You need to settle down a little." "When
I served under Leia, she
would say, 'Hope
is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it...' "Maybe
the truth is, I'm really not so ordinary. Maybe if we knew what other
people were thinking, we'd know that no one's ordinary. And we all
deserve a standing ovation at least once in our lives. My friends
do. My teachers do. My sister does for always being there for me.
My Dad does for always making us laugh. And my Mom does the most.
For never giving up on anything, especially me. It's like that
last precept Mr. Browne gave us. Be kind, for everyone is fighting
a hard battle. And if you really wanna see what people are, all you
have to do - is look." "I
used to want to save the world, this beautiful place, but I knew
so little then. It is a land of magic and wonder, worth cherishing
in every way, but the closer you get, the more you see the great
darkness simmering within. And mankind? Mankind is another story
altogether. What one does when faced with the truth is more difficult
than you'd think. I learned this the hard way, a long, long time
ago. And now, I will never be the same..." - "They
don't deserve your protection." "The
hardest choices require the strongest wills." "Wakanda
will no longer watch from the shadows. We can not. We must not. We
will work to be an example of how we as brothers and sisters on
this earth should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions
of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more
connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis, the wise build
bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to
look after one another, as if we were one single tribe." "Mmm.
They say money can’t buy happiness, darlings! But it does allow
you to give it away!" "You
know, the world's full of lonely people afraid to make the first
move." "Assume
everyone will betray you, and you will never be disappointed." - "Hey!" "Eyes,
lungs, pancreas. So many snacks, so little time." "No
amount of money ever bought a second of time." |
