"My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know. Everybody you see. Everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement."

Patricia in "Joe Versus The Volcano"


"Very odd. The fear has left me now. I'm numb. I have no feeling. It is as if someone pulled out a plug in me and everything, emotion, feeling, fear has drained out. And now i'm a cold shell. I'm conscious of things around me now. The vast night of Arizona. The stars that look down from the darkness. Ahead of me stretches a thousand miles of empty mason."

The Hitchhiker episode of the Twilight Zone.

 

"Who am i? That's the real question, isn't it? Who am i? Who are you? What other questions are there? What other question are there, really? You wanna understand the universe, embrace the universe, the door to the universe is you!"

Joe in "Joe Versus The Volcano"

Movie quotes, not TV quotes.

The original crew of Star Trek made six major motion pictures, seven if you include Generations, and you couldn’t find a single quote?

 

My favorite of all time.

"We just don't recognize life's most significant moments while they're happening. Back then I thought, "Well, there'll be other days." I didn't realize that that was the only day."

"Let me tell you what everybody needs to find ultimate and true happiness. 75 years. That's how much time you get if your lucky. 75 years. 75 winters, 75 spring times, 75 summers, and 75 autumns. When you look at it like that, that's not a lot of time is it? Don't waste them. Get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that preoccupy your existence and get back to what's important now. Right now. This very second. And i'm not saying drop everything and let the world come to a grinding halt. I'm saying that you can become a seeker. You can become more loving. You could be taking some chances. You could be living more. You could be spending more time with your family. You could be getting in touch with the part of you that lives instead of fears. The part of you that loves instead of hates. The part that recognizes the humanity in all of us. And i'll tell you that's where your fortunate."
