Synst 2pac har hatt noen virkelig gode sitat, her er noen av dem:

"My only fear of death is comin back reincarnated."

"Everybody's at war with different things...I'm at war with my own heart sometimes".

So way is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of the dirtiest circumstance and he can talk and he can sit across the room and make you cry, make you laugh, all you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems and how am leaning crooked to the side, u can't even see that I've come up from out of that

Fra filmen Shadowlands;

Jack:

Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice: as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.

Joy:

Jack, don't you sometimes just bust to share the joke? Here's your friends thinking we're unmarried and up to all sorts of wickedness, when all along we're married and up to nothing at all.

Harry:

Christopher can scoff, Jack, but I know how hard you've been praying; and now God is answering your prayers.

C. S. Lewis:

That's not why I pray, Harry. I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God, it changes me.

Joy Gresham:

We can't have the happiness of yesterday without the pain of today. That's the deal.

Joy Gresham:

Are you TRYING to be offensive, or merely stupid?

"Winnie the Pooh" sitater...

"Pooh," said Rabbit kindly, "you haven't any brain."

"I know," said Pooh humbly.

"Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon."

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

Then he began to think of all the things Christopher Robin would want to tell him when he came back from wherever he was going to, and how muddling it would be for a Bear of Very Little Brain to try and get them right in his mind. "So perhaps," he said sadly to himself, "Christopher Robin won't tell me any more," and he wondered if being a Faithful Knight meant that you just went on being faithful without being told things.

"What does Crustimoney Proseedcake mean?" said Pooh. "For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words Bother me."

"Yes," said Winnie-the-Pooh.

"I see now," said Winnie-the-Pooh.

"I have been Foolish and Deluded," said he, "and I am a Bear of no Brain at All."

Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you.

When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you sometimes find that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.

Pooh looked at his two paws. He knew that one of them was the right, and he knew that when you had decided which one of them was the right, then the other was the left, but he never could remember how to begin.

"My spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling, but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places."

"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.

"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."

"That buzzing-noise means something. If there's a buzzing noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee. ....

And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey.....

And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it." So he began to climb the tree.

"There may be something in what you say, Rabbit," he said at last. " I have been neglecting you. I must move about more. I must come and go."

"That's right, Eeyore. Drop in on any of us at any time, when you feel like it."

"Thank you, Rabbit. And if anyone says in a Loud Voice 'Bother, it's Eeyore,' I can drop out again."

"What did you say it was?" he asked.

"Tigger."

"Ah!" said Eeyore.

"He's just come," explained Piglet.

"Ah! said Eeyore again.

He thought for a long time and then said: "When is he going?"

"You seem so sad, Eeyore."

"Sad? Why should I be sad? It's my birthday. The happiest day of the year."

"Your birthday?" said Pooh in great surprise.

"Of course it is. Can't you see? Look at all the presents I've had."

He waved a foot from side to side.

"Look at the birthday cake. Candles and pink sugar."

Pooh looked - first to the right and then to the left.

"Presents?" said Pooh. "Birthday cake?" said Pooh. "Where?"

"Can't you see them?"

"No," said Pooh.

"Neither can I," said Eeyore. "Joke," he explained. "Ha Ha"

Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.

"And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh. Eeyore shook his head from side to side.

"Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

"And I said to myself: The others will be sorry if I'm getting myself all cold. They haven't got Brains, any of them, only grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake, and They don't Think, but if it goes on snowing for another six weeks or so, one of them will begin to say to himself: `Eeyore can't be so very much too Hot about three o' clock in the morning.' And then it will Get About. And they'll be Sorry."

"People come and go in this Forest, and they say, 'It's only Eeyore, so it doesn't count.' They walk to and fro saying 'Ha Ha!'. But do they know anything about A? They don't. It's just three sticks to them. But to the Educated - mark this, little Piglet - to the Educated, not meaning Poohs and Piglets, it's a great and glorious A."

"A little patch I was keeping for my birthday," he said; "but after all, what are birthdays? Here today and gone tomorrow. Help yourself, Tigger."

"It's bad enough, "said Eeyore, almost breaking down, "being miserable myself, what with no presents and no cake and no candles, but if everybody else is going to be miserable too ..."

"One can't complain. I have my friends. Someone spoke to me only yesterday."

"Ha-ha," said Eeyore bitterly. "Merriment and what-not. Don't apologize. It's just what would happen."

"Clever!" said Eeyore scornfully, putting a foot heavily on his three sticks. "Education!" said Eeyore bitterly, jumping on his six sticks. "What is Learning?" asked Eeyore as he kicked his twelve sticks in the air. "A thing Rabbit knows! Ha!"

"Good morning, Eeyore," said Pooh.

"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it is a good morning, which I doubt," said he.

"Why, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can't all, and some of us don't. That's all there is to it."

"Can't all what?" said Pooh, rubbing his nose.

"Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush."

"Nobody tells me. Nobody keeps me Informed. I make it seventeen days come Friday since anybody spoke to me."

"It certainly isn't seventeen days - "

"Come Friday," explained Eeyore.

"And today's Saturday," said Rabbit.

"Don't bustle me," said Eeyore, getting up slowly. " Don't now-then me."

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.

"So it is."

"And freezing."

"Is it?"

"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."

"But, Eeyore," said Pooh, "was it a Joke, or an Accident? I mean - "

"I didn't stop to ask, Pooh. Even at the very bottom of the river, I didn't stop to say to myself, `Is this a Hearty Joke or the Merest Accident?'. I just floated to the surface and said to myself, `it's wet'. If you know what I mean.

"Thank you, Pooh," answered Eeyore. "You're a real friend," said he. "Not Like Some," he said.

"It's not very pleasant in my corner of the world at three o'clock in the morning. But for people who like cold, wet, ugly bits it is something rather special."

And as Piglet looked sorrowfully round, Eeyore picked up the balloon with his teeth, and placed it carefully in the pot; picked it out and put it on the ground; and then picked it up again and put it carefully back......... But Eeyore wasn't listening. He was taking the balloon out, and putting it back, as happy as could be.

Flere Winnie the Pooh sitater her!

[nostalgia]

Noen sitater fra "Frasier"...

Frasier: I know what you think about everything. When was the last time you had an unexpressed thought?

Niles: I'm having one now.

The Good Son

Niles: Hello there Frasier!

Frasier: Oh, what fresh hell is this?

Space quest

Frasier: Niles, you're a good brother and a credit to the psychiatric profession.

Niles: You're a good brother too.

Space Quest

Frasier: We've got a free evening. This sounds like the perfect opportunity for a couple of guys on the loose to hit a sports bar, have a couple of brewskies, maybe take in a game or two.

Niles: Right. But what shall we do?

Frasier: Dinner?

Niles: Perfect. No place fancy, I'm sure neither of us wants a heavy meal with lots of wine and expensive desserts.

Frasier: Oh, it's your turn to pay, isn't it?

Niles: You know me so well.

Beloved Infidel

Niles: That was the same period where you insisted on wearing the wax earplugs and the slumbermask.

Frasier: Well I had to, what with you underneath the covers with a flashlight looking at the National Geographic.

Niles: I was looking at the maps.

Frasier: That's what makes it so scary.

Beloved Infidel

Niles: Frasier, you're my brother. That entitles you to my bone marrow and one of my kidneys, but this is an imposition!

Travels with Martin

Niles' and Frasier's song from prep school:

"Oh some boys go to college, but we think they're all wussies,

"Cuz they get all the knowledge, and we get all the--

"Oompa doompa doompa doompa, oompa doompa doompa doompa..."

Author, Author

Niles: You know, I wanted to be a psychiatrist like Mom way before you did, but because you're older you got their first. You were first to get married. You were the first to give Dad that grandchild he's always wanted. By the time I get around to doing anything, it's all chewed meat!!

Author, Author

Frasier: I DO NOT HAVE A FAT FACE!

Niles: Oh please, I keep wondering how long you're going to store those nuts for winter!

Author, Author

Frasier: At least I'm not spindly!

Niles: My God, I'm having a flashback! You're climbing in my crib and jumping on me!!

Frasier: YOU STOLE MY MOMMY!!!

Author, Author

Niles: What is that? Rain?

Frasier: No, God is crying!

Niles: I asked a simple question.

Frasier: Do you ask any other kind?

My Coffee with Niles

Niles: The plumber's been called, the wine is properly chilled - suddenly my world makes sense again.

Frasier: We've had a tough day, and tangoed with a little pipe and porcelain. Now, it's Montrechay time.

Seat of Power

Niles: Now order has been restored. By hiring a plumber, that plumber can now afford, say, a Dolly Parton album. Miss Parton can then finance a national tour which will of course come to Seattle, allowing some local promoter to make enough to send his cross-dressing teenaged son to us for $150 an hour therapy.

Frasier: To the circle of life. (They clink glasses)

Seat of Power

The Crane boys on basketball:

Frasier: It's the archetypal male-bonding ritual!

Niles: Couldn't we just go into the woods, kill something and have done with it?

Retirement is Murder

Frasier: What's the one thing better than an exquisite meal? An exquisite meal with one tiny flaw we can pick at all evening.

Niles: Quite right. To impossible standards!

Retirement is Murder

Niles: Oh! So I'm a coward!

Frasier: Yes.

Niles: Well, I'm a coward with a hickey!

Daphne's Room

Niles: As some illustrious person said, popularity is the hallmark of mediocrity.

Frasier: You just made that up, didn't you.

Niles: Yes, but I stand by it.

Someone to Watch over me

Frasier: You, ice-fishing?

Niles: Well, why not? I've always thought of myself as a man of the great al fresco.

Frasier: Niles, you get a runny nose watching figure skating on TV.

Breaking the Ice

Niles: You spoke to a patient of mine today - Caroline. As a result of your fast-food approach to psychiatry, she left me.

Frasier: Caroline was your patient?

Niles: Two years of my hard work wiped out by one of your two minute McSessions.

Frasier: Niles, I merely suggested that she consider a change.

Niles: Based on what diagnostic method? One potato, two potato?

Dark Victory

Niles: We all have to remind Dr Crane that this is real psychology now, not the radio. No hanging up on the hard ones here!

Shrink Rap

Frasier: I'll just be observing today, I don't know you well enough to render any opinions, so just pretend I'm not here.

Niles: And good luck with that.

Shrink Rap

Daphne: You burnt down the garage [as children]?

Niles: Well, with Frasier and his bunsen burner, and me and my mosquito repellant, in retrospect it was unavoidable.

The Friend

Frasier: The man talks endlessly on subjects that are of no interest to anyone but him.

Niles: Gee. I can't imagine what that's like.

The Friend

Frasier, seeing Niles's outfit: Say, am I crazy, or is there a bright golden haze on the medder?

Come Lie with Me

Niles: The rental agency didn't have a single luxury car left. They stuck me with some vehicle I think they call a hunchback.

Frasier: I think that would be a hatchback.

Niles: It's painted panic-button red, and has a huge rear window that pops open.

Frasier: That would be the hatchback.

Niles: There's a novel idea - name the car after its most hideous feature. I presume it was a tossup between that and "What's that odour coming from the floor?"

High Crane Drifter

Niles: That was dirty pool, using a Freud quotation. It's the Crane boys' kryptonite.

Frasier Loves Roz

Frasier: Niles, aren't you going to join me?

Niles: I would, but I have a routine. I come every day, order coffee, and spend some quality time... with myself. You understand.

Frasier: Niles, I've seen you once in the last two years!

Niles, after a pause, with surprise: Oh, that is your point! Oh!

You can go home again

Frasier: I remember your fourth birthday party, when Grandmother took us to the park to ride the carousel, and you made all those children wait while you wiped off your painted pony.

Niles: I was wearing Bermuda shorts and that saddle was slick with toddler sweat.

You can go home again

Niles: This fruit-nut muffin contains a number of things I don't care for. Currants, a husk of something... away, wrinkly thing!

Frasier: You know, if you and Maris ever reconcile, I'm going to miss these tranquil mornings - I reading my newspaper, you tweezing your muffin.

The Two Mrs Cranes

Frasier: Advertising? Isn't that a bit commercial for a psychiatrist?

Niles: Said Dr Pot to Dr Kettle.

Love Bites Dog

Niles: I know I don't have your total support, but ... how shall I put this?

Frasier: You don't care.

Niles: If you could work the phrase "rat's ass" in there you'd have it.

Mixed Doubles

Niles: Frasier, you look like an authentic jock. I'm half-tempted to hand over my lunch money.

Frasier: And is that your idea of appropriate baseball-watching attire?

Niles: Obviously you failed to detect the subtle diamond pattern in my tie.

The Unnatural

Niles: Well I'm sorry if my tracking skills aren't up to your standard. Perhaps instead of asking for a baby brother you should have asked for a German shorthaired Pointer.

Frasier: I did!

A Crane's Critique

Young Frasier: I specifically requested my macaroni and cheese al dente.

Young Niles: I know. This lunch is a culinary Hindenberg.

Where Every Bloke knows your Name

Frasier: Oh you are so that other one!!

Dinner Party

Frasier: Dad, do you think we're odd?

Martin: No, you're not odd. You're just "special." Your mother told me that when you were kids, and I still believe it.
