La Galleria dell'Ombra: The Killing Joke

Come si dice in inglese... curiosity killed the cat.

Short Quotes

...We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep...
(Noi siamo della stessa sostanza
di cui sono fatti i sogni; e la nostra piccola vita
è cinta da un sonno)
The Tempest, IV, I 156-158

Se ci sottraessimo alla battaglia perchè la vittoria è incerta, dove sarebbe il nostro valore?
Norrin Radd

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night
Edgar Allan Poe

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life
Samuel Ullman

Do... or do not. There is no try.
Yoda

There is no spoon.
Neo

I'm not in the business. I am the business.
Rachael

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.
Roy Batty

The things you own end up owning you
Tyler Durden

...and dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here, and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom?!
William Wallace

For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat, the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern.
Suppress all human emotions and compassion.
Kill whoever stands in the way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself.
This truth lies at the heart of the art of the combat.
Hattori Hanzo

I libri sono specchi: riflettono ciò che abbiamo dentro
Juliàn Carax

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
