“When you’re here, you’re family” (Fast and the Furious)
This isn’t the greatest sentence, this is just a tribute.
“In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move”.
I’ll read this phrase but I won’t enjoy it
“Elaine, if I’d a knowed that you’d a wanted to went, I’d a seen that you’d a got to get to go.”
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Somewhat famously this line (the entire soliloquy actually) was improvised by Rutger Hauer in the moment, so not strictly written down. Just taking the piss mate, best fucking movie ever!
“Let every dirty, lousy tramp arm himself with a revolver or a knife, and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot the owners as they come out.”
- Lucy Parsons
“Welcome to Costco, I love you”
“He who fights monsters must see that he doesn’t become a monster himself. For when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
I hate how often I see this quote without attribution.
Also: “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ummm
What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger."
Yeah, that’s Kelly Clarkson, m’kay?
“What doesn’t kill you, makes you crippled”
Gregory House
“I look both ways when I cross a one way street, because that’s how much faith I have in humanity.”
I live on a one way street. The amount of vehicles that zoom by in the wrong direction is ridiculous
The chinese poem “The Story of Mr. Shi Eating Lions”
Shíshì shī shì shǐ shì, shì shǐ, shī shì, shì shí shí shī. Shī sì shì shī. Shǐ shì shè sì, shì shī shì, shǐ shī shì shí shī shī, shì shí shí, shǐ shí shìshì. Shǐ shǐ shì shì shì shì, shì shī shì. Shì shì shì shì.

I wouldn’t label it as “the greates sentence ever”, rather as a great example why chinese is a highly cumbersome and impractical language.
You have nothing to loose but your chains
“The man in black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed.”
“Long days and pleasant nights.”
"Do you think… God stays in heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he’s created, here on Earth? "
Dr Romero, Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, written by Robert Rodriguez.
I thought this was his character in Con Air
“Money can’t buy happiness, but it’s better to cry in a taxi than on a bus.” - Marcel Reich-Ranicki (German literary critic)
I changed the last word in the translation to bus for the US readers. It should be tram or streetcar but I assumed bus is more common and widely known.
“In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very unhappy and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
I’d agree, but that’s 2 sentences.
Dammit
Okay imagine there’s a semicolon there instead
“In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very unhappy and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”;
Still doesn’t work.
At least now it compiles
In the end, isn’t that the real treasure?
Half the kingdom and my firstborn for passing tests
I guess a string literally followed by a semicolon would be an interesting way to leave a comment. I may use this in the future since comments are against my religion. Figuring out what my code does is future me’s problem. And that guy’s a dick he never comments his code.
Em dash that bastard
