[Frieza has just given Vegeta the chance to kill Goku for him]
Vegeta: Thanks for the offer. But I can't. As annoying as this bastard can be, it's our rivalry that keeps pushing me to get stronger. I can't afford to kill him.
Frieza: [laughs] What if I sweeten the deal? Take Goku's life, and I'll appoint you the supreme commander of the entire Frieza Force. Of course, I know at the moment it only consists of Sorbet. But we'll rebuilt it, stronger than ever!
Vegeta: You would make me your supreme commander? Is that a real offer?
Frieza: [laughing] Should I take that as a yes?
Vegeta: Damn it, now I may actually regret this... But I've already made my decision. I'm going to pulverize you until there's nothing left.
Frieza: [shocked] You dare say that to me?!
Vegeta: Use your head. Do you actually think I would stay loyal to you after you blew up the planet I was destined to rule?!

"You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. You won't even stand up for me in America for my religious beliefs, and you want me to go somewhere and fight, but you won't even stand up for me here at home."

"'The hero the world doesn't need,' Cat wrote about me. Some days, though, it sure feels like it does. Though, if there weren't three kids missing, I'm not sure I'd help her. You can't say those kinds of things about a person then expect them to just fly up and give you a hand."
"Christmas is the one time of year your parents are supposed to buy you everything you want!"
"You know, I was ready to stand tall with the great, grand glittering ones, but those scumbags couldn't recognize a golden, radiant light even as it was cast right down upon them! But thankfully — Thankfully! — He showed me another path. The path I had always been truly destined for. Something far greater than mere fame, or fortune... When I was at the bottom of the pit, screaming in the darkness, racked with unspeakable pain, for having been denied all that was rightfully mine, He graced me with His light. His hot, loving light. It flowed over me like the pulse of a timeless wave. A wave of pure heat. A mainline of pure and total acceptance. And He talked to me, addressed me as a friend. He said, "Jeremiah, they were wrong. And you are right. So right." And He blessed me with His holy kiss. He said, "You are not separate from all that is. So all that is, is yours." And He gave me His deepest and warmest permission to go into this world and take what is so very much mine. All of it. Mine. My wants. My needs. My pleasures."

Bog: We're living in a time of change, aren't we? Well I'm more than entitled to change some stuff myself. Sorry you're not worthy of sharing in my greatness.

Connie D'Amico: My God! He's practically ruined me. I've created a monster. Meg, we've got to do something.
Meg Griffin: We? Are you kidding? Do you really think I would help you out in any way after everything you've done to me?
Connie D'Amico: What are you talking about?
Meg Griffin: (shows Connie her scarred wrist) You see this, Connie? This is from when you called me "Sticky ass cow" in sixth grade. This one is from when you made a plaster cast of my vagina Freshman year! You want my help? You can go fuck yourself!

Tong: You, Avatar, do something!
Aang: Gee, I'd love to help, but I'm supposed to be boiled in oil.
Tong: [nudges the wheel of punishment] There, community service! Now serve our community and get rid of those Rhinos!

The [American] colonists were the least oppressed of all peoples then on earth, politically, economically and nationally.... Politically, the colonists were infinitely freer than any people on the European continent; they were even freer than Englishmen in Great Britain. The favorable conditions of frontier life had brought Milton's and Locke's teachings and English constitutional liberties to faster and fuller fruition in the colonies than in the mother country.
