“Interestingly enough, whenever I cite examples from superhero comic books in a lecture, my students never wonder when they will use this information in their "real life". Apparently they all have plans, post-graduation, that involve protecting the City from all threat while wearing spandex. As a law-abiding citizen, this notion fills me with a great sense of security, knowing as I do how many of my scientist colleagues could charitably be termed "mad".”

“People who are not blessed with the ability to make others laugh compensate for that by saying (or trying to say) things that are profound.”

“Every time you look up at the stars, it’s like opening a door. You could be anyone, anywhere. You could be yourself at any moment in your life. You open that door and you realize you’re the same person under the same stars. Camping out in the backyard with your best friend, eleven years old. Sixteen, driving alone, stopping at the edge of the city, looking up at the same stars. Walking a wooded path, kissing in the moonlight, look up and you’re eleven again. Chasing cats in a tiny town, you’re eleven again, you’re sixteen again. You’re in a rowboat. You’re staring out the back of a car. Out here where the world begins and ends, it’s like nothing ever stops happening.”

“Suddenly, a spiral of lightning snaked across the frowning sky and struck Ray and Ilsa. In a spectacular flash, they vanished. An earth-shattering bang of thunder knocked over all the FBI agents. Ilsa’s file of genealogical records flew into the air. The thoroughly singed pages flew down the street, twisting in the frantic breeze. The bullhorn fell from the limp fingers of Agent Schweppes’ hand. The rain began to fall like bullets.”

“That fence has gotta 'lectric charge runnin' through it!" Duffy whispered. "Felt like I got struck by lightnin' right b'tween my shoulder blades! It crackled like when the barber turns on his trimmer." Ott had had his suspicions about the electric fence, but there had been only one way to know for sure. That's why some people were generals and others were sergeants, after all.”

“Nadie vive feliz para siempre, Tom. Si eso pasara, la historia tendría que parar. Porque la historia está sustentada en los esfuerzos y agonías sin fin del héroe. Las vueltas y los giros de una historia parecen un laberinto. Pero en realidad son su opuesto. No hay vueltas erróneas. Sólo un camino a seguir, y un punto final. Cada vez que cerramos un libro, les damos un respiro. Un momento de paz. Un momento, no más que eso. Pero créeme, jovencito...ese momento es lo más cerca que estarás, en toda tu vida, de un final feliz.”

“A dessert to a deserter in the desert burst, "You trust your thirst. And you are too hot! You scream for ice cream. And believe it or not, I may not be your first. But I might be your lust! Give it a shot...”

“The enrichment center would like to announce a new employee initiative of forced voluntary participation. If any Aperture Science employee would like to opt out of this new voluntary testing program, please remember; science rhymes with compliance. Do you know what doesn't rhyme with compliance? Neurotoxin. Due to high mortality rates, you may be reluctant to participate in the new initiative. The enrichtment center assures you this is a strictly selfish impulse on your part, and why can't you love science like [insert co-worker's name here]?”

“În focarul inițial, hidrogenul se transformă în heliu, atom abia cu puțin mai complex decât el. Dar din această transformare se poate deduce deja prima mare regulă a jocului din universul nostru: TOT MAI COMPLEX. Această regulă pare evidentă. Dar nimic nu dovedește ca în universurile vecine ea nu e diferită. În altă parte poate că este TOT MAI CALD, sau TOT MAI TARE, sau TOT MAI COMIC. Și la noi lucrurile devin mai calde, sau mai tari, sau mai comice, dar nu aceasta este legea inițială. Ele sunt doar secundare. Legea noastră de bază, în jurul căreia se organizează toate celelalte, este: TOT MAI COMPLEX.”

“You might think Cult Girls would have a rather limited readership (ex-Jehovah's Witnesses) but I, who never bothered to learn anything about those strange people who rang my doorbell with "good news" loved it. Jehovah's Witnesses aside, this beautifully illustrated graphic novel pertains to any cult. Nicely and clearly written, it's a good harrowing story.”

“Hell, if someome wrote a book about you, well, it'd sell a million copies the day it was released. And if someone else was clever enough to write a parody - you know, to privide som comic relief during these extremely difficult economic times - that would probably be an even bigger seller, or at least it shoud be. So, just come clean with me, Ed. Your secret's safe with me, and whoever reads my internet blog. You...are...a...vampire!”

“Professionals suggest that when you feel stressed, you should retreat to a "Happy Place" in your mind. I agree. On my way there though, I usually stop at the "You got one mo time" place, and visit the "Lawd don't let me lay hands on this fool" spot, and I always slide through the "Oh hayl nah!" joint in that neighborhood. By the time I get to the "Happy Place" I'm to worn the heck out to enjoy it!”
