from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” tv show

Spike (to Angel and Buffy): “You’re not friends. You’ll never be friends. You’ll be in love till it kills you both. You’ll fight, and you’ll shag, and you’ll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you’ll never be friends. Love isn’t brains, children, it’s blood … blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love’s bitch, but at least I’m man enough to admit it.”

from “the Shawshank Redemption“

Ellis Boyd ‘Red’ Redding (voice-over): “Those of us who knew him best talk about him often. i swear, the stuff he pulled … sometimes it makes me sad though, him being gone. i have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged - their feathers are just too bright - and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone …. I guess I just miss my friend.”

… For Crofty …

from “the Prophecy“

Simon (voice-over): “I remember the first war … the way the sky burned, the faces of angels destroyed. I saw a third of Heaven’s legion banished, and the creation of Hell. I stood with my brothers and watched Lucifer fall. But now my brothers are not brothers and we have come here where we are mortal to steal a dark soul, not yet Lucifer’s, to serve our cause. I have always obeyed … but I never thought the war would happen again.”

from “End of Days”

Gabriel Byrne’s character (about God): “Something good happens, “It’s His will.” Something bad happens, “He moves in mysterious ways.”"

“Capitalism is the only system based on the recognition that each individual owns his life. Capitalism is the only social system in which individuals are free to pursue their rational self-interest, to own property and to profit from their actions. It entrenches individual rights, limited Constitutional government, and political/ intellectual/ economic freedom.”

“Are you bothered by the continuing trend of government infringement on our liberty and rights? Do you want to do something to stop creeping socialism and the expanding welfare state?

One thing you can do, when everyone seems to be denouncing capitalism and wealth, is to proudly celebrate it. As it turns out, there is a holiday just for this purpose. Capitalism Day is the first Sunday in June …

The idea that profit making is moral goes against thousands of years of social conditioning. A really simple way to overturn this thinking is to gradually create a world in which the celebration of individualism and capitalism is expected (even if the moral basis for this social system is not accepted by everyone).”

“A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death. A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings.”

~ Human Action, Ludwig Von Mises p. 676.
