"Now we travel... With our MIIINDS!"
— Chakroad, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
"What powers, you ask? I dunno, how 'bout the power of flight? That do anything for ya? That's levitation, Holmes. How 'bout the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away... with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle! How 'bout the power...to move you?"
— Jack Black (of Tenacious D), "Wonderboy"
"I can move shit with my mind!"
— Silver, Damn
"I could pummel you to death with this table using my telekinesis. I could cut any vital air or blood tube in your body by just thinking it."
— Red9, Spacetrawler
"What is strength? Excuse me if this sounds like an exam question. But seriously, what is it? I would define it as the quality that enables one to do work and exert influence. The stronger you are, the more you can do, the bigger and more intransigent the objects you can influence. My father could lift a three-hundredweight anvil. So, of course, can I, but in a very different way. So, here comes the paradox. I couldn't follow my father's trade, because I was and still am a weakling. So instead I was sent away to school, where what little muscle I had soon atrophied to fat, and where I became incomparably strong. The hell with anvils. I can lift mountains. There is no mountain so heavy that I can't lift it. Not bad going for a man who has to call the porter to take the lids off jars."
— Return of the Pig, by K.J. Parker
"I reach into the depths of my soul and I draw forth your doom. By the power given unto me by the Emperor, I shall blast your body to ashes and sear your soul to nothing."
— Ezekiel, Grand Master of Librarians, Keeper of the Book of Salvation, Dark Angels, Warhammer 40,000
"I can pulp your flesh and snap your bones in less than a second, and without so much as lifting a finger. What is the power of technology compared to that?"
— Vel'cona, Chief Librarian of the Salamanders, Warhammer 40,000: Codex — Space Marines (5th edition)
"And didn't you also invent Psionics?" asked Buster. "The advanced science of the mind that would enable us to cure the aliments of humanity, read each other's thoughts, see past and future events, and electrocute our classmates through telekinesis?"
"Indeed!" said the acclaimed scientist, preening visibly.
"And didn't that turn out to be a load of codswallop?"
