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

Martin Castillo, Time Lord

Vice Squad lieutenant - Miami, 1984

Gimme Shelter

 
War, children, it's just a shot away
Love, sister, it's just a kiss away


- Gimme Shelter, The Rolling Stones

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

Doctor Who, I presume?

 
"I'm the Doctor."

"Doctor Who?"

見えが来れ

Classic example of Japanese mie ga kure ("the view will come") architectural style.  The hidden view just out of sight makes it interesting.

"So many social engagements... so little time."

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

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

Late in his career, Joe DiMaggio was asked why he had hustled on an inconsequential play in a game that had little effect on the Yankee's fate that year.  DiMaggio responded, "Because there is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time.  I owe him my best."
