Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
- Epicurus

“Where there's life there's hope.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

"And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." ― Friedrich Nietzsche

And here's another one from another greatly misunderstood film:
"Jesus fuckin' Christ! This fuckin' state. Who the fuck does this fuckin' warden... fuckin' think he is? Doesn't anybody know how to do business in this fuckin' state? My fuckin' wife and her fuckin' asthma and allergies. We had to move to the fuckin' desert. Goddamn fuckin' chickenshit doctors... I should've known better than listen to those shitheels. Fuckin' Palm Springs... Lay there in the fuckin' sun and do nothin'. Then this fuckin' state grabs my ass for taxes. Why the fuck I didn't stay in fuckin' Florida... where people know how to do fuckin' business. Fuckin' wife and her fuckin' asthma. Shit! Somethin' needs to get fuckin' done, I gotta do it myself."
--Mendy Ripstein, Undisputed (far and away my favorite Peter Falk role)
