“One Ring to Rule Them All”
“ET Phone Home”
“You are without a doubt the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of. - But you have heard of me.”
“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid, I can’t do that.”
“Live long and Prosper”
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women”
Is that…the illiad?
Conan the barbarian, I believe
You are correct. ☺
But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made
I enjoyed this take on that quote
Roads, where we’re going we don’t need roads.
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer…”
“In the beginning the Universe was created.This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
“To summarize the summary of the summary: People are a problem.”
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!For 40k, I actually feel like “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates open and unbarred” is a cooler, if less iconic quote. It just conveys the ridiculous dystopia of the Imperium so well and so quickly.
But yeah gotta love the classic BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! YOUR CORPSE-EMPEROR WILL NOT SAVE YOU!
Hey! Listen!
AAAAH YAAAAAH!
A more recent one that really struck me hard was the date lines in True Detective - Night Country.
Dec. 22nd Third Day of Night
It really grounded me how fucking creepy it must be to see the sunset and know it’s not coming back for months.
I spent a part of my childhood in the extreme north, and you get used to it. Usually I wouldn’t see the sun between mid December and late January. Winter just becomes a dark time, and you get used to the street lights. The first sunrise feels almost magical.

A Lemmy classic.
“It’s bigger on the inside!”
Also “We are leaving the universe! How? With enormous difficulty!”, but that’s more iconic because it rather encapsulates a particular character, rather than being something iconic to a particular piece of world-building.
Shall we shag now or shall we shag later?
If you only knew the power of the dark side
