Hauntingly beautiful quotes

"Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me, huh? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!"

I heard that and it made me cry a little

First blood was great in so many ways and is oft overlooked in terms of pure acting by Stallone.

The book isn’t too shabby either

I sometimes wonder the same thing to myself when trying to decipher the philosophical metaphysical symbiotic transcendentalism correspondence between nature being the conception and formulation by a higher extraterrestrial being or simply an algorithm and conclusion of mere chance. I always find a very perplexing and disturbing anomaly, incongruity, aberration when swaying towards the latter whilst contemplating the age old question - "Why o why do we still got monkeys?"

My father had fought the Scots many times, and he always called them devils. Mad devils, he'd say. Sword devils. Howling devils. And Ivar's Danes told us how they rallied from that first attack, and used sword and spear to cut the devils down - and still the shrieking hordes came at them! Climbing over their own dead, their wild hair red with blood, their swords hissing.

Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist":

“How few of Nature's faces are left alone to gladden us with their beauty ! The cares, and sorrows, and the hungerings, of the world, change them as they change hearts; and it is only when those passions sleep, and have lost their hold for ever, that the troubled clouds pass off, and leave Heaven's surface clear. It is a common thing for the countenances of the dead, even in that fixed and rigid state, to subside into the long-forgotten expression of sleeping infancy, and settle into the very look of early life; so calm, so peaceful, do they grow again, that those who knew them in their happy childhood, kneel by the coffin's side in awe, and see the Angel even upon earth."
