I’m glad I could help
I don’t even remember the rest of the movie.
“I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.” - Mewtwo
As a trans person, this has always been one of my favorite fiction quotes.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, chapter 10 is pretty rough, particularly this stark line:
“Slowly but surely, everybody in the house began to starve.”
I read the book to my daughter a few years back and I’d forgotten quite how bleak things are before all the fun stuff that people remember.
“Do you think God stays in heaven because he too fears what he has created?”
Came here to say this. I was super surprised when I first found out that this came from Spy Kids.
It’s such a good quote and yet it comes from spy kids. Not that spy kids is bad, but still.
"I like you as you are Exactly and precisely I think you turned out nicely And I like you as you are
I like you as you are Without a doubt or question Or even a suggestion Cause I like you as you are
I like your disposition Your facial composition And with your kind permission I’ll shout it to a star
I like you as you are I wouldn’t want to change you Or even rearrange you Not by far
I like you I-L-I-K-E-Y-O-U I like you, yes I do I like you, Y-O-U I like you, like you as you are"
- Mr. Rogers

There was a clear reason for what this saint did.
I cried for a moment then laughed when i saw your username.
Good. ;)
Lots of good answers for ATLA, but I’m partial to the “Do the tides command this ship?” scene.
Maybe the best introductory scene for a villain that I’ve ever seen.
There was no specific quote, but watching Azula have a bona fide nervous breakdown after all her friends abandoned her was something else even as an adult.
The Avatar finale has two climaxes.
The final showdown between Aang and Ozai is the action-packed climax for the kids who want to watch a cool anime superhero fight.
The Agni-Ki between Zuko and Azula is the emotional climax for the adults watching.
To be fair, the Agni-Ki was fucking metal action-wise too.
I, too, climaxed
One of the things most people I know like about Azula is that the show ended with her still being evil. They wrote her to be genuine with herself, and that meant no redemption.
“Can your science explain why it rains?”
Sokka: “Yes! Yes it can!”
I just clicked on that link and oooooooohhhhh Azula truly is capable is sending chills down one’s spine. Her VA is so GOOD at playing the the role.
Winnie the Pooh
“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”
Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.
I think that this captures so much of the human condition.
Winnie the Pooh is a treasure trove of wonderful insights.
“Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up.” —Jake the Dog, Adventure Time, “Ocarina”
Avatar Legend of Kora, Varick says:
‘If you can’t make money during a war, you just flat-out cannot make money.’
Pretty much the entirety of the Animorphs book series, but I guess there was a reason for it. But for some kids books, holy hell.
“See, win or lose, right or wrong, the memory of violence sits inside your head. It sits there, like some lump you can’t quite swallow. It sits there, a black hole that darkens hope, and eats away at everyday happiness like a cancer. It’s the shadow you take into your own heart and try to live with.”
Man if they tried to put that in a Dark Knight comic the editor would probably want them to tone it down
Probably so. That’s a great little quote from the books, but the stories and descriptions and gruesome torture and trauma and death and moral delimas and specicide in those books are just crazy.
If it wasn’t sex or rape, it was on the table.
I was on an animorph forum for years past the age those books were aimed at, and some of my best friends were made there. That book series shaped me a lot, and it absolutely went as hell sometimes. Marco, man, whoo… The shit Marco went through.
Yep. I read them as a tween/teen and re-read them after doubling up in age from the first time. Still awesome.
I never read them when I was super young, so I’m mostly well adjusted. Haha. First time was when I was 16, got stoned at a buddy’s place and the power went out. He took a nap, and I read Visser. Lemme tell you, that’s one helluvan introduction to the series.
There’s an argument to be made that Rocko’s Modern Life was not for children, but it aired on Nickelodeon in the afternoon, so we watched it. And this is poignant as hell-
R-E-C-Y-C-L-E Recycle!
C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E Conserve!
Don’t you P-O-L-L-U-T-E. Pollute the rivers, sky, or sea. Or else you’re gonna get what you deserve…I still sing it to myself sadly when I read the news sometimes.
Rocko fought city hall! Rocko fought corporate America! They are big and he is small, Rocko fought city hall.
I also blame this for why my sense of civic duty exists, despite the obviously flawed and ofte. monstrous system I find myself in.
Heffer: (singing) Spring cleaning! Spring cleaning!
Rocko: Heff?
Heffer: Hi, Rocko!
Rocko: Why was everyone singing?
Heffer: We just had a song in our hearts.
Rocko: How is it you all know the words? Did you rehearse?
Heffer: Yeah, every Thursday. Didn’t you see the flyers?I think it was things like this, honestly, which shaped my sense of humor.
Same here.
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby!
Rocko‽
Mrs. Big head‽

I am dashing your hopes by replying! But I want to say you’ve grown up so well and have lots of stuff to be proud of. Maybe things didn’t go the way you hoped, but you did the best you could with what you had and what you knew at the time, and that makes you a good person in my book.
The land before time. Littlefoot sees his shadow and thinks its his mother, realizes its not and that hes very very alone.

Yet another reason why that movie is a goddamn masterpiece.

I remember being convinced I remembered Riker saying this (arguing with a friend) which is how I discovered who voiced Xanatos.
