“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.
If you only knew the power of the dark side
Shall we shag now or shall we shag later?
“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.
