-Sir Joshua Reynolds

[Jukka the Sling]

"My life is a story of eternal things. I've lived a million pages of the impulse that ended up branded on my fëa, of damnation's chronic death-rattle, of deathless things that cannot live and of transient things that stay forever. I am the theme of a poem about inkstains, my father's anvil, and the unshakeable cliffs behind me."

--My all-time favorite Silmarillion fanfic, and maybe my favorite fic in general, Where the Worm Dies Not.  (I've reread it several times and am constantly in awe of just how well it's written.  There are tons of amazing lines throughout.)

[Luftwaffles]

"Maybe someone could have come along and comforted him, told him things would get better, and helped him dry his eyes. But nobody did come, because nobody does; and under the crushing recognition of his gigantic error Jude continued to wish himself out of the world." - The AV Club (quoting Thomas Hardy's Jude The Obscure).

Strax: Colonel Manton, you will give the order for your men to withdraw.
Doctor: No. Colonel Manton, I want you to tell your men to run away.
Manton: What?
Doctor: Those words: run away. I want you to be famous for those exact words. I want people to call you Colonel Runaway. I want children laughing outside your door because they've found the house of Colonel Runaway. And when people come to you and ask if trying to get to me through the people I LOVE is in any way a good idea, I want you to tell them your name. Oh look I'm angry, that's new. I'm really not sure what's going to happen now.
Kovarian: The anger of a good man is not a problem. Good men have too many rules.
Doctor: Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many.

Supreme Dalek: What do you want?
Doctor: Clara Oswald. I want Clara Oswald. Safe. Alive. And returned to me immediately. You bring her back. You do that. You do that now. Unharmed. Unhurt. Alive.
Supreme Dalek: Your associate-
Doctor: I saw what happened! I was there! But I'm hoping for all of our sakes that it was a trick.
Supreme Dalek: It was not a deception.
Doctor: Because if Clara Oswald is really dead... then you'd better be very, very careful how you tell me.
Missy: Listen to that. The Doctor without hope.
Doctor: Who's going to tell me? Who's going to go first?
Missy: Nobody is safe now.
Doctor: All the power that Davros had is mine! Everything he had, I have. Who's going to tell me that Clara Oswald is really dead?
Missy: He'll burn everything. Us too.

Clara: We can fix this, can't we? We always fix it.
Doctor: No.
Doctor: *Turns to Me* But you can. Fix this. Fix it now.
Me: It's- It's not possible. I- I can't.
Doctor: Yes it is. You can and you will, otherwise this street will be over. I'll show you and all your funny little friends to the whole laughing world. I'll bring UNIT, I'll bring the zygons; give me a minute, I'll bring the daleks and the cybermen. You will save Clara. You will do it now or I will rain hell upon you for the rest of time.
Clara: Doctor stop talking like this.
Me: You can't.
Doctor: I can do whatever the hell I like. You've read the stories, you know who I am! And in all of that time, did you ever hear anything about anyone who stopped me?
Me: I know the Doctor. The Doctor would nev-
Doctor: THE DOCTOR IS NO LONGER HERE, YOU ARE STUCK WITH ME! And I will end you and everything you love.

"Everything leads to the belief that the [Passenger] pigeons, which cannot endure isolation and are forced to flee or to change their way of living according to the rate at which North America is populated by the European inflow, will simply end by disappearing from this continent, and, if the world does not end this before a century, I will wager... that the amateur of ornithology will find no more wild pigeons, except those in the Museums of Natural History" ~ Bénédict Henry Révoil, 1856.

*The Passenger Pigeon became extinct in 1914.

At 14:46 Pacific Standard Time, 12 different locations around the world were breached, in what appears to be a coordinated attack by an unknown enemy. All breaches were along the coastline, in what is a campaign of rapid dominance. This is a textbook military invasion. There are massive casualties in New York, defensive lines are being setup in Boston, and at 13:15 Zulu Time we lost communications with San Francisco and San Diego, their status is unknown. What we do know is that we are the LAST offensive force on the west coast, we can NOT lose Los Angeles.

What's that a quote from?

[The Skarzs]

Battle: Los Angeles I think?
