I’ll start us off with Cousin Ellis from No Country For Old Men:

“All the time you spend trying to get back what’s been took from you, more is going out the back door.”

    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 Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

    Roy Batty’s closing monologue from Blade Runner before he dies.

    It’s depressing, but in a beautiful way.

      I absolutely love that speech, but I don’t find it depressing. More, sad but a powerful expression of what it is to be mortal.
