Quote of the Week, from Chick 2

Posted in Movie Quotes at 9:11 pm by admin

I stand here before you now truthfully unafraid.  Why?  Because I believe something you do not?  No.  I stand here without fear because I remember.  I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me, but because of the path that lies behind me.  I remember that for 100 years we have fought these machines.  I remember that for 100 years they have sent their armies to destroy us.  And after a century of war I remember that which matters most - we are still here!  Tonight… let  us make them remember - this is Zion, and we are not afraid!

We will not walk in fear one of another.  We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to associate, to speak, and to defend the causes that were for the moment unpopular.

Edward R Murrow (David Strathairn)
