This is frequency 6050, using variable micro-current cycles... The sun which set yesterday will rise again this morning. And we believe that sun will rise again tomorrow...

If you had time to read books, you should have devised a means of victory. You can't defeat us with books!

In the belief that with Arcadia I was in a world where there was no such word as defeat, I kept flying. I kept ten minutes' worth of gasoline, and jettisoned the rest into the air, thus lightening the fuselage. I staked everything on those ten minutes.

That was a violent landing you made; unavoidable, given the condition of the runway. But in addition you intended to make your ship inoperable. Heavy Metal (1981)

This is my eye. Whether in the Battle of Britain or the African Campaign, it's always been my eye.

A recipient of the Badge of Combat Heroism... such a man would not be without use.

Since we occupied Earth, we have collected data on a great number of Earthmen. According to computer analysis, Earthmen adapt quickly to new circumstances. In other words, until yesterday they hated us as an enemy, and today they follow us wagging their tails!

It's hard on you too, huh? I know how you feel inside. But right now, all we can do is shut up and eat. We've been beaten after all, but that does not mean we've been destroyed.

I failed to cross the Prominence of the Streams of Fire, also known as the Stanley Witch of Space. It's a terrifying place, where in addition to tremendous thermal energy, there is also supergravity which attracts living energy to itself.

Though the ground was burnt and everything turned into ashes, we will revive again.

Yes. I shall choose the battlefield. As in times of old, the duel shall be one-on-one. I will not allow anyone to interfere.
