"He is a remarkable man, with a splendid intellect, and a brilliant talker. That's always useful; but what I like most is that there is nothing of the diplomat about him." The Tsar used to say that diplomacy is the art of making white appear black. Apropos of this subject, he once quoted me Bismarck's definition of an ambassador, "A man sent to another country to tell lies for the benefit of his own," and he added: "Thank Heaven they're not all trained in his school, but diplomats have a gift for complicating the most simple questions." He is not reticent, but plain-spoken and frank, and wins one's confidence at once. If only we could do without diplomacy humanity would make immense strides."

"Whoa there, liddle mates! Where are ye bound?"
Grumby the hogbabe pointed toward the main gate. "Ho, us is goin' to 'elp Miz Tirrier to choppa wood. Don't not worry, Skip, we keep a h'eye on 'em for youse!"
Brink gathered the little ones up and placed them in the big wheelbarrow amid the windfall fruits. "Yore far too young t'be rovin' about woodlands. I'll take ye up t'the kitchens an' tell Friar Bibble to feed ye all well for yore hard work. Will ye lend a paw 'ere, Skip?"
Banjon took one of the barrow handles. "I certainly will, matey. Friar Bibble might feed me, too. A liddle bird told me that he's bakin' sugarplum pudden today."
The Dibbuns roared with delight. "Sugarplum pudden! Whooooraaaayyy!"
Brink turned his eyes skyward, murmuring to Skipper, "I 'opes to goodness he is, 'cos if'n he ain't, we'll 'ave to run for our lives from those liddle 'uns!"

Wot Wot.

     -Brigadier Wot Wot

[Tungro]

For some time the place turned into a meeting ground. There were hundreds of bodies pilled around us. There were twenty of us in our under-garments awaiting death. Of the twenty only I had the chance for life. The remaining nineteen stoically kept themselves on their feet. No miracle could save them. And amidst all this a hundred Russian soldiers, a quarter of an hour before all savages, now half of them with a spark of humanity in their veins, were deliberating!

If I were not mad I could have helped you, whatever you had done I could have pitied you and protected you. But because I am mad, I hate you. Because I am mad, I have betrayed you. And because I'm mad, I'm rejoicing in my heart, without a shred of pity, without a shred of regret, watching you go with glory in my heart!

"We are great. We are free. We are wonderful. We are the most wonderful people in all of the Jungle! We all say so, and so it must be true!"

Ben Solo's last words

[Flib Bigboat]

At the same time, waving a pitchfork, the stable boy, Wakeling, came pelting around the corner.
Mallory turned sharply aside. Wakeling, however, paid no attention to the fleeing girl. Instead, he ran to the back of the house, where he collided with the two women and Scrupnor.
"Squire, there's a great stag in the paddock!" Wakeling cried. "Come and see!"
"Damn the stag!" bellowed Scrupnor, trying to disentangle himself from the excited stable boy. "Where's the old man?"
"Never saw none," answered Wakeling. "But what a stag!"
"Out of my way!" roared Scrupnor, shoving the boy aside. "Find him! Stop the girl!"...
"There he [the stag] is!" cried Wakeling. "And the cook-shop girl riding him! Now that's a sight for you, Squire!" ~The Wizard in the Tree

What is outrageous about running for a train, dear? Lots of men do it

Yes, clerks and bookkeepers, who come to the depot in a bus to catch the 7:45. But for the president of a bank to arrive in a limousine, to take the bankers special, then to run all over the platform like a silly chicken

I didn't run like a silly chicken. I ran beautifully.

Now, I know you've been taking care of yourself on the side. You're wetting your beak, so to speak. But don't ever make the calamitous error of mistaking my deliberate short-sightedness for blindness.

"I'm Haunted by the Kiss, that you shouldn't have given me." - The best character in the best movie of all time.

[Perifaen]

"Who am I, you ask?
I am made from all the people I've encountered
and all the things I have experienced.
Inside, I hold the laughter of my friends,
the argument with my parents,
the chattering of young children,
and the warmth from kind strangers.
Inside, there are stitching from cracked hearts,
bitter words from heated arguments,
music that gets me through,
and emotions I cannot convey.
I am made from
all these people and moments.
That is who I am."
~Ming Di Liu
