Albert: I think we need more wire cutters."
German soldier: "We need more wire cutters!"

"Last eve I paused beside the black-smith's door and heard the anvil ring the vesper chimes; Then looking in, I saw upon the floor old hammers worn out with beating years of time. "How many anvils have you had," said I, "To wear and batter all these hammers so?" "Just one," said he and then with a twinkling eye, "The anvil wears the hammers out, you know." And so I thought, the anvil of God's Word for ages skeptics' blows have beat upon, yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard, the anvil is unharmed, the hammers are gone. John Clifford

Love that one!

I really like quotes, just don't have many memorized. But I saw that one and really liked it so I'm going to try to memorize it. XD

@Emily, yep, I like pretty much everything Logan said in Ace Wonder. xP And the times when Gator rattles off a whole list of adjectives… but I can't remember any of them right now because I only watched the movie twice and that was a long time ago. xP

Oh, and don't forget that baby from Runner from Ravenshead!
"He needs help."

"That is an interesting question because it forces you to put yourself back in the shoes of people who lived a long time ago. Another reason why it is interesting is because it is one that will be on your first exam. Now that makes the question more interesting, doesn't it?"

I know!!! I can't remember any of them either, it's been a long time since I've watched it as well. I so wish I could do that sometimes, but usually I can only think of like…two different adjectives. :P

He's just adorable. xP
