Lemme get this straight... you guys wanna permanently separate Pokémon from humans somehow, so that Pokémon will finally be our equals? And in order to do that, you guys attack Pokémon with your own? What is this I don't even--

Some folks in this world spend their whole time hunting after righteousness, and can't find any time to practice it.

Cquote1

Barker: Pardon me, pardon me, President, my sympathies are with no nation. You misunderstand, I think, the modern intellect. [...] We moderns believe in a great cosmopolitan civilisation, one which shall include all the talents of all the absorbed peoples --

Del Fuego: The Seňor will forgive me. May I ask the Seňor how, under ordinary circumstances, he catches a wild horse?

Barker: I never catch a wild horse.

Del Fuego: Precisely, and there ends your absorption of the talents. That is what I complain of your cosmopolitanism. When you say you want all peoples to unite, you really mean that you want all peoples to unite to learn the tricks of your people. If the Bedouin Arab does not know how to read, some English missionary or schoolmaster must be sent to teach him to read, but no one ever says, 'This schoolmaster does not know how to ride on a camel; let us pay a Bedouin to teach him.' You say your civilisation will include all talents. Will it? Do you really mean to say that at the moment when the Esquimaux has learnt to vote for a County Council, you will have learnt to spear a walrus?
The Napoleon of Notting Hill by G. K. Chesterton

Cquote1

Should a 400 lb man advise us on the evils of over-consumption?

Should the resident of a million-dollar apartment claim to be a poster boy of the working class?

Should a person who thought that Enron was a great investment, that Ralph Nader, Wesley Clark and John Kerry would win, and that North Korea's Kim Jong was changing for the better, advise us on ANYTHING?
—The official Michael Moore Hatedom site.

Sesshomaru: Be more respectful. It's our father's tomb.
Inuyasha: Look who's talking! You're the one who's here robbing his grave! Maybe you should "respect" him by leaving!

Goro Akechi: You may have the backing of the SIU's director, but you've been far too aggressive, Sae-san. You're trespassing into police territory. Don't say nobody warned you if this becomes an issue later.
Sae Niijima: My superiors told me the same thing.
Akechi: We first need to know what methods the Phantom Thieves are using. The police can't make a move unless that becomes apparent, after all.
Sae: This opponent can't be caught by following the rules. What need is there to stick to formalities?
Akechi: So, you wish to ignore protocol in order to reform society? I hope you realise that's no different from what the Phantom Thieves are doing. It's a shame, especially since we both want to capture the culprit behind the psychotic breakdowns...

Super Buu: You're nothing! Without the fusion, I can rip both of you apart!
Vegito: Oh yeah. Well, look who's talking. You got your power from eating my sons and my friends.

Cquote1
I fought against my father and his need to run every aspect of my life. He wanted total control of me, right down to my bloody DNA. After I got out of there, I couldn't stand by and let it happen to my sister. I risked my life to get her away from all that. Yet I didn't give a second thought to destroying your free will when I had the power.
Miranda Lawson, Mass Effect 2

Riddler: No, no, no! You cheated! Catwoman cheated! She stole my victory from me!
Batman: A fight I couldn't win? That doesn't even fit your definition of "playing fair".
Riddler: It was fair! If you weren't able to bypass the robots' multilayer encryption, decipher their unique operating system, and reprogram them mid-battle, that doesn't mean you get to call in assistance!
Batman: (Flatly) You need help, Nigma.
Riddler: I NEVER NEED "HELP" WITH ANYTHING!!

Jack O'Malley: Mister Jensen. I don't know why I didn't recognize you the first time. Are you here to ensure your treachery is complete?
Adam Jensen: Treachery? You lie, steal, manipulate, murder and cheat on a daily basis! Men like you shouldn't even be allowed to use the word "treachery"!

Robert: I'll tell you what I've found to be the key to a great marriage.

Raymond: Says the man who married a stripper, then divorced a stripper, then married a regular person, then hung in there for three whole months?

How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of Negroes?

You have a strange sense of nobility, Captain. You'll lay a man out for implying that I'm a whore, but you keep calling me one to my face.
