Movie quotes

  • (..) But it's our responsibility to take care of ourselves and the ones we love. If people took care of themselves, we'd all be saved. If God is righteous, then we should do righteous things. If there is a God, then why doesn't He do right by the world? MAN: (WHISPERING) Come. Follow me. Who's there? (..)
