->Though great sacrifice, we have made sure that those who live near the Empty Quarter know, and I mean truly ''know'' that magic exists. Our elders regularly go to the populated edges of the Rub al-Khali and perform great works - sometimes at the cost of their lives - just to show the ignorant that it can be done. But their martyrdom has succeeded where your much-vaunted subtlety has failed: within those great expanses, we still have the power to make carpets fly, to command the raging sandstorm, and, as is our privilege, to command the fractious ''djinn.''

->Get this: The [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths Anti-Monitor]], the [[BigBad biggest bad guy of them all]], is ready to [[OmnicidalManiac blow up all of reality]]. So what does {{ComicBook/Supergirl}} do? She punches him. And punches him, and punches, and punches and punches and just ''wails'' on the guy until one lucky blast from the Anti-Monitor kills her. But her death had meaning. It had soul. It showed a character dying to save lives. She wasn't just some [[StuffedInTheFridge victim or shock death]]. She forced the heavily-injured Anti-Monitor to retreat... Bottom line, if a character's going to die, they'd better go out swingin'!

->It was, just as Kinski had predicted, suicide. He should never have done it. It is widely held by those who knew him, and Kinski himself, that he never recovered from ''Film/{{Woyzeck}}.'' But what was the ultimate result? If you are the viewer of this film, Kinski’s portrayal shocks your feelings out of the vault of intellectualizing or passive observing. He forces you to feel with him, to align yourself with your buried emotions. He outs your sensitivity. Is this not something Christ-like? It is, for my money. Kinski is the pure cure for the 21st-century disease — the numbness unto droning.

->''"Came out of nowhere. An alien kraken, bigger than a Cyclops. Tore a hole clear through the reinforced hull. I barely got my breather in time. I told her. I said others would come. The rupture threw me clear of the habitat, and the monster turned and bore down on me. Just as its tentacles came within reach, Maida appeared out of nowhere. She had a seaglide in one hand, a jagged piece of scrap metal in the other. She meant to butcher that beast, or die trying. The last I saw her she had the metal lodged in its neck as the monster did its best to shake her, contorting off into the darkness. I'm certain she got her wish, one way or another."''
