Quotes
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. ... For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
— Ephesians 2:4-5, 8-9
On Caladan, we ruled with sea and air power. Here, on Arrakis, we need desert power.
— Duke Leto Atreides in Dune
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
I happen to like to shoot first, Rekkon. As opposed to shooting second.
— Han Solo ( Stars' End)
You won't get wise with sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be...— Rush, Something for Nothing
Biggs, Wedge, let's close it up. We're going in... we're going in full throttle, that oughta keep those fighters off our back.
— Luke Skywalker from Star Wars: A New Hope
... We're going to hit them with the Empire.
They're not going to like the Empire.— Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu from Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream
What is thy bidding, my master?
It's the disaster, Skywalker we're after.
What if he could be turned to the dark side...?
Yes! He'd be a powerful ally... another dark Jedi...— Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Gangsta Rap
