guess the quote

[kittysbecute]

Post a quote with a catagory such as movie or book. Then others can guess what movie or book the quote is from.
Hopefully there isnt already a thread like this.

Example:
Movie: "everybody wants to be a cat"
Answer: Aristocats

Movie: "Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great... You have no power over me."

this doesn't work when you can just google the quotes.

That would be cheating.

Hmmm- another hint or quote from the same movie?

I don't think another hint or quote would help if no one saw the movie. I was going to edit the op to add that anyone can post a quote before the one above is guessed. But cf no longer allows editing posts from a few days ago.

Ok- I'll throw out another quote.

"It reads, "And death shall be no more" comma "death, thou shalt die." Nothing but a breath, a comma separates life from life everlasting. Very simple, really. With the original punctuation restored Death is no longer something to act out on a stage with exclamation marks. It is a comma. A pause. In this way, the uncompromising way one learns something from the poem, wouldn't you say? Life, death, soul, God, past present. Not insuperable barriers. Not semi-colons. Just a comma.

The Labyrinth! I didn't Google. David Bowie was strangely sexy in that movie.

I would say the Bible, "O Death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"

Even a comma is a barrier, though. It separates. The comma separates and distinguishes between things more than an exclamation point ever could. The exclamation point is not a separater, it is an emphasizer.

Death! Thou shalt die!

It gets Death's attention.

You didn't put a comma between past and present. Those two are inseperable in your sentence- but everything else is separated by a comma.

A semicolon says "hold on, something else is coming."

What is the poem if it is not from the Bible?

Thats my fave movie of all time.

 

[Galatea]

Thats my fave movie of all time.

In the seventh grade, my friend and I would go "You remind me of the man."

You know the next line?

 

[sunshineforJesus]

the man with the power.

My fave line is Nothing,nothing tra la la

 

[Galatea]

the man with the power.

My fave line is Nothing,nothing tra la la

No, it is "what man?"
Then: "the man with the power"
Then: "what power?"
Then: "the power of voodoo"
Then: "who do?"
Then: "you do"
Then: "you remind me of the man"

She and I would do this back and forth. We thought we were insanely funny.

I don't remember "Nothing, nothing, tra la la."

Is this a book or movie?

I believe it was a play originally, but I'm quoting the movie.
