Stock Quotes

Across many works, you will hear the same quotations over and over. These quotes are so well known that most people will recognize them right away, but not all of them will be aware where the quote originated from. Popular sources include Shakespeare, historical figures, and classic literature. This will often be because of Small Reference Pools - either the author isn't familiar with less famous quotes, or they are afraid the the audience won't be.

Predictably, they will often be mangled, both deliberately and not.

May overlap with As the Good Book Says... if the memorable quote is from The Bible. When used to title a work, it is a Literary Allusion Title. Not to be confused with Beam Me Up, Scotty, which is when a quote is popularly attributed to a source but was never actually said, or played for laughs when a stock quote is misidentified In the Original Klingon (many of these are also misidentified with the bible quotes when Shakespeare said it first). See also Stock Phrases, which can't be attributed to a single source but also show up time and again.

If you want to add a quote to this page, please come up with at least three examples of its use. If you're not sure, add it to the discussion page. Once it has enough examples, it can be moved here.

Not to be confused with numbers relating to the prices of company stocks.

Quotes
""He Who Fights Monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.""

- Friedrich Nietzsche, Jenseits von Gut und Böse

Film
"The Grinch: The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there - on such short notice! Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn't allow it. 4:00, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me - I can't cancel that again; 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing... I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?"

""Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.""

- Bhagavad Gita

Comic Books

 * Used in an All-Star Squadron story, quoting Oppenheimer as below; see Person of Mass Destruction for details.

Film

 * One of it's most famous appearances (the first half anyway) is on Animal Mother's helmet in Full Metal Jacket.
 * The Hunt for Red October. Red Oktober's political officer reads this quote from a book owned by Captain Ramius—it's used to imply that the latter might have gone insane and intends to start World War III. Oppenheimer is specifically mentioned as giving the quote.
 * The original source is mentioned, as well as Oppenheimer's use of the quote.

Live Action TV

 * Heroes uses "I am Become Death" as an episode title.
 * Parodied in Mystery Science Theater 3000 with Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds.
 * Mike also spoofed the line in Riding With Death: "I am become Death, destroyer of small radios."

 * God of War II has an Easter Egg/experience bonus about a third of the way through the game, in the area with the ginormous horses chained to the island. By activating a few particular spots where nothing actually seems to happen, the last one by a tree on an island gives Kratos a huge experience boost—while the camera turns skyward to observe "Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds" writing itself in the clouds. This Troper actually found the combination of the quote, the atmosphere, and everything else to be kind of creepy.
 * And and in an arguably more epic case, in the end of Ghost of Sparta, . If you played the other three games, you will be strucken by some massive Fridge Brilliance or Horror...

Real Life

 * Reportedly said by J. Robert Oppenheimer after witnessing the first nuclear bomb test.
 * In fact many uses of this quote are actually quoting Oppenheimer quoting Gita. The meaning is frequently taken to be "I have the power!"... but that's not what Oppenheimer meant at all. The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between the god Krishna and the prince Arjuna, as Arjuna is about to go into battle against his cousins, his guru, the people who raised him, to secure the kingdom. Arjuna questions the rightness of such violence, and in response, Krishna transforms into his terrible, multi-armed aspect, telling him that doing his moral duty is more important than anything else. Oppenheimer felt that he had done a terrible thing, that "the world would not be the same", but he thought of it as his duty.
 * So on top of being a brilliant scientist, I guess Oppenheimer was psychic?
 * As he watched sand turn to glass in the New Mexico desert, I bet Oppenheimer felt quite a bit like Arjuna.
 * Imagine you are on the verge of a battle where your sacred and social duties oblige you to kill your siblings and mentors. Then imagine that your comrade (who later reveals himself to be a thousand-mouthed devourer of civilizations) is telling you "go ahead and do it, they're going to die anyway".

RPG

 * The quote appears multiple times, literally or alluded in Mage: The Ascension, both in the Oppenheimer acception (related to atomic bombs or experiments of similar disruptive power, like in the supplement The Fallen Tower: Las Vegas) and in the original Gita meaning (in Tradition book: Euthanatos Revised and in the metaplot-heavy Ascension campaign, in particular)
 * Promethean: The Created makes ample use of this line as quoted by Oppenheimer, chiefly as regards the Zeky — the section on "the Nuclear Promethean" in the corebook opens with Oppenheimer's quote including the quote from the Gita, and their chapter in Saturnine Night is entitled, "Destroyer of Worlds." It'squiteappropriate.

"The poem The Second Coming, by William Butler Yeats, is frequently quoted, particularly the last line:"

- "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"

Comic Books

 * Used heavily (possibly even more than the titular poem) in The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons.
 * At the end of "Storm Front", Harry Dresden comments on how the world is getting stranger and he sees it as his job to maintain some control in his corner of the world:

 * Joan Didion published a collection of essays in 1968 under the title Slouching Towards Bethlehem. It's mainly about her experiences in California during the 1960s.

Live Action TV

 * Babylon 5 (by G'Kar about the coming of the Shadows)
 * The first episode of Millennium
 * Heroes. Mohinder recites this at the end of the episode titled, appropriately, The Second Coming.
 * Bonus points for doing the whole poem, and not skipping the first two lines (as people are wont to do). See Battlestar Galactica, below.
 * Battlestar Galactica ("The Plan"). The nonsense babbled by a Hybrid as they're about to nuke the 12 Colonies includes the line, "The centre holds; the falcon hears the falconer." (the actual Yeats line is "the centre cannot hold" and "the falcon cannot hear the falconer"). Presumably a statement that, for the Cylons at least, their plan is coming together, as opposed to things falling apart (which happens later on).
 * The Angel episode "Slouching Towards Bethlehem".
