View Quote It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and... all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it's beautiful 'cause that's what they wanna see.

View Quote Mr. Magorium: 37 seconds.
Mahoney: Great. Well done. Now we wait.
Mr. Magorium: No. We breathe. We pulse. We regenerate. Our hearts beat. Our minds create. Our souls ingest. 37 seconds, well used, is a lifetime.

View Quote Mahoney: You're here?
Henry: Apparently.
Mahoney: But not actually?

View Quote Mr. Magorium: [to Molly, about dying] When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? [Molly shakes her head] He's written "He dies." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words "He dies." But because of the life we saw prior to the words. [pause, walks over to Molly] I've lived all five of my acts, Mahoney, and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that you turn the page, continue reading... and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of me, you relate my life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple and modest "He died."
Mahoney: [starting to sob] I love you.
Mr. Magorium: I love you, too. [picks Molly up, sighs heavily] Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.

Erik: I still don't believe you're the god of thunder… but you ought to be!

View Quote [Thor and Jane are on the roof sitting next to a fire; Thor sees Jane suddenly go quiet]
Thor: What's wrong?
Jane: S.H.I.E.L.D. Whatever they are, they're gonna do everything in their power to make sure this research never sees the light of day.
Thor: No, Jane. Listen to me. You must not give up. You must finish what you've started.
Jane: Why?
Thor: Because you're right. Here, look. [Opens her notebook] Your ancestors called it magic and you call it science. Well, I come from a place where they're one and the same thing. [Thor is connecting the circles in her notebook]
Jane: What is that?
Thor: My father explained it to me like this, that your world is one of the Nine Realms of the Cosmos, linked to each other by the branches of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Now you see it everyday without realizing. The images glimpsed through... what did you call it? This Hooble Telescope.
Jane: Hubble.
Thor: Hubble Telescope.
Jane: Tell me more.
Thor: So, the Nine Realms. [Points to circles] Now, there is Midgard, which is Earth. This is Alfheim. Vanaheim. Jötunheim. And Asgard. And that's where I come from.

View Quote Thadeous: So, who were those handsome men you were talking to?

Isabel: Hello, Thadeous.
Thadeous: The time for pleasantries is through; do you feel that tiny prick in your back?
Isabel: Is that your ****?
Thadeous: Ha! No, Tis a knife but I'll gladly penetrate you with it.

View Quote Isabel: On a night just like this I returned home from a hunt, to find a bloodbath. Nothing remained of my six beloved brothers except for their severed heads on stakes. Their eyes had been plucked, their teeth taken as tokens. I wear this bracelet, forged at the steel of their shields as a constant reminder of my vow to avenge them.
Thadeous: My only advice would be just to keep your head up, hang in there, live every day to the fullest, have sex as much as you can by campfire when you're all alone and your brother is out gathering wood. Just simple things like that.
