The right words have the power to move us to places we never thought we'd go. I'm fascinated by how a few choice sentences or words can sum up a character or a moment in a way that can't be replicated by dozens of pages of the almost right words.
Wittiness has always been a character requirement for me. A handsome face with a dull brain doesn't work. But the combination of brains and attractiveness is worthy of celebration. So here's a list of my favourites:
 | ||
| I'm not a psychopath. I'm a high-functioning sociopath. Do your research. - Benedict Cumerbatch, Sherlock
|
 |
| You're not afraid of the dark, are you? - Vin Diesel, Chronicles of Riddick |
 |
| I am not a good judge of hotness. - Lou Diamond Phillips, Longmire |
 |
| Don't try to tell us there's nowhere to go but up, because the truth is: there's always more down. - J August Richards, Angel |
 |
| Welcome to the end of the thought process. - Hugh Laurie, House |
 |
| Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle. - Nathan Fillion, Firefly |
 |
| The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle is over, that even a god-king can bleed. - Gerard Butler, 300 |
 |
| I thought this was the part where you leave me behind and say 'Lucifer, stay. Good devil.' - Tom Ellis, Lucifer |
 |
| You picked the wrong house, bub. - Hugh Jackman, X-Men II, X-men United |
