if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it, that's all. So don't worry, okay?
The final truth of all things is that there is no final Truth.
I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man and loved it. But now the dream is over... and the insect is awake.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

.I like the Baron/Piter exchange "I will enlighten your nephews as to my plan –" "MY PLAN!" "The plan…to crush the Atreides".

"I've always depended on the kindness of strangers" (A Streetcar Named Desire) -- it's basically my barometer.
"Every time the Russians threw an American in jail, WE threw an American in jail to show the Russians they couldn't get away with it" - Mort Sahl (probably the first political joke -- during the time of the Hollywood Blacklist)

My favourite episode of Star Trek, Skin of Evil, has some great dialogue between Picard and Armus, the villain. It sticks with me because Picard becomes a blueprint for the series' philosophy about humanity in how he deals with the situation.
"A great poet once said 'All spirits are enslaved that serve things evil"
"You say that you are true evil. Shall I tell you what true evil is? It is to submit to you. It is when we surrender our freedom, our dignity, instead of defying you".

Weird – I've heard of the film and didn't know Christopher Plummer was in it. He would have been a great older Magneto .
.Anyway, Starcrash is one of greatest so-bad-it's-good movies and you should definitely check it out. I actually met Caroline Munro at a con and she signed my book based on the film, which is worth reading after you've seen it.

. Actually I was just rewatching it and it made me laugh because Christopher Plummer's doing it with total conviction but I think he's relying on Shakespeare as a 'crutch' (you know, like in Star Trek VI). The way he's doing the dialogue here really reminds me of the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
