Robert Angier: I never thought I'd find an answer at the bottom of a pint glass.
Cutter: Hasn't stopped you looking, has it?
Tre campanule bianche ad Annarosa
Poiché il fiore era falso ma la pietra era vera ci concentrammo sulla pietra: spigoli schegge macchie asperità. Ad essa ci aggrappammo, la stringemmo negando ogni altro scampo. Pure, nel fondo della mente, ancora ritornava un effluvio, un tremolio di petali leggero - tre campanule bianche nel cantuccio di un quadro di Klee. Noi cercavamo disperatamente di non badarvi, e sapevamo bene che ne...

Da "Peter and Wendy"
All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, “Oh, why can’t you remain like this for...

Schindler's List (1993)
Oskar Schindler: In every business I tried, I can see now, it wasn't me that failed. Something was missing. Even if I'd known what it was, there's nothing I could have done about it because you can't create this thing. And it makes all the difference in the world between success and failure.
Emilie Schindler: Luck?
Oskar Schindler: War.

Se questo è un uomo
Voi che vivete sicuri Nelle vostre tiepide case; Voi che trovate tornando la sera Il cibo caldo e visi amici:
Considerate se questo è un uomo Che lavora nel fango Che non conosce la pace Che lotta per mezzo pane Che muore per un sì e per un no
Considerate se questa è una donna Senza capelli e senza nome Senza più forza di ricordare Vuoti gli occhi e freddo il grembo Come una rana d’inverno:

Morrissey Q&A in Maxim Canada
Who in your life would you most liked to “kick in the eye”? That meat-fed horror Jamie “Orrible” Oliver. If he’s a master chef, then I’m Miss Brazil 1970. Name one thing you’re glad you’ll never have to do again on Earth. It will be worth being dead just to get away from Victoria Beckham. [il resto qui]

Auggie Wren: If you can't share your secrets with your friends, what kind of friend are you?

It is the saddest night, for I am leaving and not coming back. Tomorrow morning, when the woman I have lived with for six years has gone to work on her bicycle, and our children have been taken to the park with their ball, I will pack some things into a suitcase, slip out of my house hoping that no one will see me, and take the tube to Victor’s place. There, for an unspecified period, I will...

We are all empty houses Waiting for someone To open the lock and set us free. One day, my wish comes true. A man arrives like a ghost And takes me away from my confinement And I follow, without doubts, without reserve, Until I find my new destiny. [Kim Ki-duk]

Hannibal Lecter: I've no plans to call on you, Clarice. The world is more interesting with you in it.
Ernest Hyde
My mind was a mirror: It saw what it saw, it knew what it knew. In youth my mind was just a mirror In a rapidly flying car, Which catches and loses bits of the landscape. Then in time Great scratches were made on the mirror, Letting the outside world come in, And letting my inner self look out. For this is the birth of the soul in sorrow, A birth with gains and losses. ...
