Quotes: Overshadowed by Awesome
"I am very smart. I went to the best Medacad in Osiris, top three percent of my class, finished my internship in eight months. "Gifted" is the term. So when I tell you that my little sister makes me look like an idiot child, I want you to understand my full meaning. River was more than gifted, she... she was a gift. Everything she did, music, math, theoretical physics — even dance — there was nothing that didn't come as naturally to her as breathing does to us."
Simon, Firefly

"You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. [Jayne] drops a box of money, he gets a town."
Simon, Firefly

"I'd call you a genius except I'm in the room."
The Doctor, Doctor Who

"And that's Stoney's real problem. He's the Satan figure from a different story, a different mythology. Stumbling unwelcome and unneeded into this story — where the Satan figure is actually Satan — he just can't compete... He stumbles around the edges of this story, unable to find any legitimate reason for his presence. He seems a sad, vestigial relic."
Fred Clark, on the character of Jonathan Stonagal in Left Behind
