In The Third Man, during a tense meeting between Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton) and Harry Lime (Orson Welles), Lime tells his old friend not to worry about things dark and amoral. He concludes their talk with a famous coda:

"It's like the man said, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed-- but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

That one reminds me of a quote from W.Faulkner: "If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the Ode to a Grecian Urn is worth any number of old ladies"

From Robert Towne's superb script, Chinatown:

As their meetings and exchanges become more heated J.J. Gittes (Jack Nicholson) queries the utterly corrupt Noah Cross (John Huston) about his ability to attain his goals, and Cross answers accordingly: "Because I'm respectable. I'm old. Politicians, ugly buildings and whores all get respectable if they last long enough."

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

or the longer quote:

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.

Long time i had English snooker playing boyfriend, he comes up, behind me, and he saying all the time -
