Phantom der Nacht

"Come in...The night is cold and you must be tired and hungry..."


- Dracula, Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht

As the World Turns

Rose:  Who are you?

The Doctor:  Do you know like we were sayin'?  About the Earth revolving?  It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standin' still.  I can feel it.  The turn of the Earth.  The ground beneath our feet is spinnin' at 1,000 miles an hour and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're fallin' through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... That's who I am.

- Doctor Who

Moments of Perfection

"If you want to know the truth... I don't really care about the stats. Or the cup, or the trophy, or anything like that. In fact, even the games aren't that important to me, not really. What matters to me is the perfect throw... making the perfect catch... the perfect stepping block. Perfection is what it's about. It's about those moments when... you can feel the perfection of creation. The beauty of physics, the wonder of mathematics. And all the relation of action and reaction. And that is the kind of perfection I want to be connected to."


- Samuel Anders, Battlestar Galactica

War, children, it's just a shot away

Bad Wolf Speaks

“When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.”

- Doctor Who

Mein Schrute!

"Blood alone moves the wheels of history!  Have you ever asked yourselves in an hour of meditation - which everyone finds during the day - how long we have been striving for greatness? Not only the years we've been at war - the war of work - but from the moment as a child, when we realize the world could be conquered. It has been a lifetime struggle - a never-ending fight, I say to you and you will understand that it is a privilege to fight. We are Warriors!  Salesmen of north-eastern Pennsylvania, I ask you once more rise and be worthy of this historical hour.   No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself. Some people will tell you salesman is a bad word. They'll conjure up images of used car dealers, and door to door charlatans. This is our duty to change their perception. I say, salesmen and women of the world... unite!  We must never acquiesce, for it is together... together that we prevail.  We must never cede control of the Motherland...for it together that we prevail!"


- Dwight Schrute, The Office

Thug Life

And as long as I stay black, 
I gotta stay strapped,
And I never get to lay back,
Always worry 'bout the payback,
Some punk I roughed up way back,
Comin' back after all these years...
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat
That's the way it is


- Changes, Tupac

They stretched their legs out an died; mother, mak my bed soon,
For I’m wearied wi huntin, and fain wad lie down.
 
O I fear you are poisoned, Lord Randal, my son!

For I’m sick at the heart, and I fain wad lie down.

For I’m sick at the heart, and I fain wad lie down.

What d’ ye leave to your true-love, my handsome young man?
I leave her hell and fire; mother, mak my bed soon,
For I’m sick at the heart, and I fain wad lie down.

The only reason you need not to go surfing

And one fun fact: In 1936, a large shark leapt completely into the South African fishing boat Lucky Jim, knocking a crewman into the sea. 

No Coming, No Going

This body is not me.
I am not caught in this body.
I am life without limit.
I have never been born and I never die.

Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars,
manifestations from my wondrous true mind.

Since beginningless time I have always been free,
Birth and death are only doors through which we pass,
sacred thresholds on our journey,
Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.

So laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye to meet again.

We meet today,
we will meet tomorrow,
we meet at the source in every moment,
we meet each other in all forms of life.


- Hinayana Buddhist prayer
