{{quote|'''Nagato''': Since there's no conclusion to the paradox theory, there's no way to prove there's no paradox.

|''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'': Bamboo Rhapsody }}
{{quote|The idea here is that you can travel back in time, but you can't actually change history. So if you go back and try to prevent the assassination of [[William McKinley|President McKinley]], it turns out that you killed him yourself. Or if you go back and try and prevent the Black Plague, it turns out that ''you'' are a [[Tomato in the Mirror|flea-ridden diseased rat]].|'''Lore Sjöberg''', "Alt Text"}}

{{quote|''In fact that was even ''more'' puzzling, when Harry thought about it. Time had presented him with the finished Prank as a ''fait accompli'', and yet it was, quite clearly, his own handiwork. Concept and execution and writing style. Every last part, even the ones he still didn't understand.''|[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]}}
Line 30 ⟶ 33:
'''Idris:''' In the future.
'''The Doctor:''' "House eats TARDISes"?
'''Idris:''' Oh! There you go.

{{quote|''I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the [[Arc Words|words]]...I scatter them. Across time and space. My message to lead myself here.''|'''Rose Tyler''' / '''The TARDIS'''

Pierce: "Uh, twelve. Now--"
Volair: "How old were you when I suddenly decided to paint the kitchen green?"
Pierce: "Twel-- (look of sudden realization). Urk. Uh. muhh.. fuh.."
Rhonda: "Told ya."

{{quote|''"Don't do anything that affects '''anything''', unless it turns out [[You Already Changed the Past|you were supposed to do it]], in which case, for the love of God, don't '''[[Confusing Multiple Negatives|not]]''' do it!"''|'''Professor Farnsworth'''
{{quote|'''1971 Robo:''' You're going to learn the ''hell'' out of hyperdimensional mathematics when you get back. Focus on electrodynamics.
Line 51 ⟶ 56:
'''1957 Robo:''' So we'll know how to convert these burnt out powerpacks into a hyper-dimensional bomb to blow up the monster across multiple simultaneous points in space-time.
'''1926 Robo:''' How'd you know they burned out?
'''2009 Robo:''' Because we just ''told'' you, so you'll ''remember'' they are, so we can ''tell'' you they are. ''Dah!'' Study temporal mechanics while you're at it. Short version: when your future self tells you to do something, ''you do it.''
|''[[Atomic Robo]] and the Shadow from Beyond Time''}}
