I don't know for sure if these were actually said during the real trial they are based on but the German film Sophie Scholl - The Final Days has two of my favourite lines in all cinema within the space of a minute.

The film is about the real-life show trial and execution of Sophie Scholl and Fritz Scholl, two members of the anti-Nazi resistance. During the show trial in the kangaroo court two great lines are said when the sentences are read out. The two defendants have their closing words to the judge:

Soon you'll be standing where we stand now.

Today you hang us but tomorrow it is you who will be hanged.

The film is based on genuine documents and transcripts so I would like to believe them to be real. In the context of the scene, it's very cutting. I think they also resonate with me simply because these events did happen. The weight and implication behind them is tangible and real.

That episode is among my all time favorites.

My favorite Homer quote from it is this one though.

"I was trying to punish him exactly like you would. So in an way, you really dropped the ball on this one. This is your mess, and I'll be damned if I'm going to clean it up."

"Just a Burger? Just a burger. Robin, it’s so much more than "just a burger." I mean…that first bite—oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then…a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a…a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savories so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is God, speaking to us in food."

Bobby Allison on the unforgetable fight between him, Donnie Allison, and Cale Yarborough on the last lap of the 1979 Daytona 500:

"And of course, my version of that is that I got out of the car and then he went to beating on my fists with his nose."

"I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of not living"

Not sure where it came from. I like to believe I made it up (circa 2005) as I don't remember reading it anywhere but I'm just as sure it was coined long before my time.

"I grew up in Dallas, Texas, drinking sodium fluoridated water. All the scientific studies show my IQ has been reduced by at least 20 points. The shadow of who I would have been calls out from the grave."

"The reason there are so many gay people now is because it's a chemical warfare operation. I have the government documents where they said they're going to encourage homosexuality with chemicals so people don't have children."

"What do you think tap water is? It's a gay bomb, baby. And I'm not saying people didn't naturally have homosexual feelings. I'm not even getting into it, quite frankly. I mean, give me a break. Do you think I'm like, oh, shocked by it, so I'm up here bashing it because I don't like gay people? I don't like 'em putting chemicals in the water that TURN THE FREAKIN' FROGS GAY! Do you understand that? I'm sick of being social engineered, it's not funny!"
