John Hobbes: There are moments which mark your life. Moments when you realise nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts, before this, and after this... Sometimes you can feel such a moment coming. That's the test, or so I tell myself. I tell myself that at times like that, strong people keep moving forward anyway, no matter what they're going to find.
John Hobbes: I don't know. I can't seem to get my mind around it. I got a bad feeling about this.
Jonesy: Yeah, me too. Somebody is playing with my dick, and it ain't me.
John Hobbes: Sometimes, I think the basic job that human beings have is just to figure out what the hell is going on.
Azazel: Time is on my side. Yes it is.
Gretta Milano: I believe more is hidden than is seen.
John Hobbes: Well I believe what I see, but I'm still trying to get my mind around what I just saw.
John Hobbes: Something is always happening, but when it happens, people don't always see it, or understand it... or accept it.
John Hobbes: You take any cop on the force, cream or no, ninety-nine percent of the time they're doing their job, aren't they?
Jonesy: Ninety-nine five.
John Hobbes: Point five. So he or she, cream or no, is doing more good out there every day than any lawyer or stockbroker or president of the United States can ever do in their lifetime. Cops are the chosen people.
John Hobbes: Why are we here? Us, humans? I mean there's six billion of us, we're like ants, I mean do we care what ants do, from a moral standpoint?
Jonesy: No. Maybe if you figure it out, you die, you know from a stroke or a heart attack, you just die, sort of like a promotion.
Jonesy: If it wasn't for pizza and other fine Italian foods, there would be no happiness.
Edgar Reese: Remember this, Hobbes... what goes around really goes around.
John Hobbes: Can I ask you a personal question?
Gretta Milano: Everything is personal, if you're a person.
Suggested correction: It's Dutch. "Wie de bal kaatst." Just what Reese said. "What goes around..."
