Sci-Fi Quotes I

You may have noticed a few minor modifications to Musings Of A Sci-Fi Fanatic.

One new addition to keep things fresh is a Sci-Fi Quote Of The Week or pop culture quote of the week.

Just coming up with a new quote once a week since I began this idea is challenging enough given I make every effort to post it on Mondays.

My hope is to collect them all periodically into one Sci-Fi Quote post. It's a chance to offer a little coverage to a variety of science fiction outlets or other television series that might not receive the more robust coverage of a full-length review. It will also highlight and honor the writing of many of these genre efforts.

Not to mention some of these little nuggets of wisdom offer a little food for thought and reflection in our lives. Who couldn't use that once in awhile?

Here is every quote since the concept was applied beginning in the fall of 2015 until the new year. "See you space cowboy."

"My grandmother used to say that life is a great wheel.
Sometimes it grinds you down to the mud, and other times it lifts you up into the light.
...You just gotta wait for the wheel."

"Before the beginning, after the great war between Heaven and Hell, God created the Earth and gave dominion over it to the crafty ape he called Man.

And to each generation was born a creature of light and a creature of darkness.

And great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between good and evil.

There was magic then, nobility, and unimaginable cruelty.

And so it was until the day that a false sun exploded over Trinity, and forever man traded away wonder for reason."

-Samson, Carnivale, S1, Pilot, Milfay-

 

 

"We all have our darker side.

"If there's a wall in our way, then we smash it down!

If there isn't a path then we carve one ourselves!"

"Pain is a gift.

Without the capacity for pain, we can't feel the hurt we inflict."

-The Doctor, Doctor Who, S8, Ep12, Death In Heaven-

 

"I've see things you people wouldn't believe.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

All those moments will be lost in time...like tears in rain...time to die." -Roy Batty, Blade Runner-

 

 

"Dear God, please give us ... your mercy.

Mercy---for we are lost.

Forgive the irresponsible...."

The machine is out there.

It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.

And it absolutely will not stop, ever..."
