“Do you think we ever lived like this? Like a tribe? Together, with a common language? A reason and a name for each living thing? People once belonged somewhere… a time, a place. However briefly.”

(Connor MacLeod)

“One of the videos, for a song called ‘Princes of the Universe’ – which is about the people, not us! It’s about the people in the film, who are immortal… um, we shot that video using bits of the film, but we sort of integrated the two, by using Chris Lambert. So he’s sort of… he’s in the film, but then he suddenly strolls and he’s onstage with us! And has a swordfight with Freddie and things.”

(Roger Taylor, Queen)

“No ghost stories. I like fairy stories.”

“OK. Well, once there was this place where the Fairy people lived. It was a beautiful city in those days, surrounded by white walls, and tall stone towers.”

“What were they like?”

“Well they were like regular people, except they lived for a very long time and… they never grew old.”

“Like Peter Pan!”

“Yeah, sort of. The Fairies were handsome, and wise, and very, very clever. The problem was as time went on, there were more and more people. And soon the Fairy people had to leave their home in the city. They moved into the mountains, and into the old forests, and in the caves and in the cliffs, but the other people always found these places, so the Fairy people had to move on.”

“That’s sad… Where do they live now?”

“Oh Belinda… they’re all around us! And you know what their job is? It’s to protect children, and sometimes tell them stories.”

“Have you ever met one?”

“Oh… lots. You stay very quiet in here now, OK?”

(Duncan MacLeod)

“There’s no time for us, there’s no place for us…”

(Brian May, Queen)

“Long, long ago in these parts there was a king called Luana. Some said he was an enchanter, others a god, others that he belonged to the mighty brethren of the Enți who were masters of ceremonies. Luana had devised a sun that burned bright above the city walls, guarding the immortals who dwelt in that land.

Thus they lived blissfully and in peace for many years. But their peace was not unending. Other tribes had in the meantime heard the news of Luana’s kingdom and became filled with great envy, and in the battle that followed, the Sun of Luana was struck down. The earth shook from its foundations, and the city was no more. The sky was alight with many chariots of fire raining destruction on the land.

For an age afterwards, nothing grew there anymore, and no man nor any beast dared to make their way across the desolation left by the battle. Many a hapless traveller on Luana’s old road would vanish into thin air, never to be seen again by the living; only a few returned, and told strange tales of a grey world where they had wandered for a time as if through a mist. These travellers learned they needed a guide to take them to the wellspring of everlasting life. The knowledge of the ancients was lost to the depths of time, for Luana alone had known the secret of the Water of Life.

Mortals continued to search for the wellspring on their own, but the Water would always turn to poison for them. Yet there is hope left, for it is told that one day, the children’s children of those who received the secret will return and guide all those who wander on the old paths. Of these things we are told in the markings from the cave of the wise hermit.”

(A legend from Buzău, Romania. Article ‘Traces of Prehistoric Cosmic War Found in Cave’, 1985)

LORELAI: “Hey, love, guys. Love, okay? Lord of the Rings is all about the love.”

BOY: “Nuh uh, it’s about the destruction of all mankind.”

LORELAI: “And who doesn’t love that?”

GIRL: “Riley said only boy hobbits can travel to Mount Doom. Is that true?”

(‘Gilmore Girls’, 2003)

“We’ve always understood. We will never be dominated. We know about the Gathering. It’s about power. There is nothing greater than the power of Man! Nothing! You must die… all of you!”

(James Horton)

“Oh, come on, Joe. Methos doesn’t exist. The oldest Immortal? He’s a legend. He’s like, well, like Adam and Eve.”

(Duncan MacLeod)

“You’re telling me that Adam Pierson is Methos?”

“I think it was his little joke on you. ‘Adam’ — the first man?”

(Duncan MacLeod)

“… the essential closeness of Adam to the world and the creatures in it is reminiscent of how closely to Arda the Elves are bound. Even at death they do not leave it — as do Men whose proper home is not in Arda, but somewhere beyond it — but after a time live again. And this will be so for as long as Arda lasts.”

(Tom Hillman – ‘Legolas at Night: C.S. Lewis and the Dreams of the Elves’, 2017)

“And I have to say, the first day of filming was unexpectedly emotional for me. As I put on the long black coat and drove to the set in the pre-dawn gloom, I could feel the presence of an old friend I have not seen for some years now. Really, in a very physical way, I could ‘feel’ him. And I was overwhelmed, possessed even, by the sense of him, tears welling up in my eyes as I formed the words in my head, over and over again, Methos is alive.”

(Peter Wingfield, on filming ‘Highlander: The Source’ which takes place in Eastern Europe)

“I’ve never heard it sung like that, that’s special.”

(Roger Taylor, Queen)

“This song is dedicated to those who lost their lives last night, and anyone who has been a victim of senseless violence or hatred.”

(Adam Lambert)

“She, uh, she went up to the mountains to sketch some wall painting… your favorite shay-mon, she said.”

(Richie Ryan)

“Ionel Bratu-Voicescu penned the music and Virginia Dumitru the lyrics to a song with a generous, vibrant message: ‘Only for you, our watchfulness is not in vain; only for you, man cub, this ultimate gift. Do not be afraid, for silence and peace are upon the land, and so shall it be for as long as you live’. This Evening Song is an absolute premiere tonight, and so is the duet you are about to hear: Mihaela Runceanu and Ioan Luchian Mihalea!”

(Octavian Ursulescu, 1986)

“This is where it all began. Can you tell me about the Prize? It’s like a whirlwind in my head. But if I concentrate, I know what people are thinking… all over the world. Presidents… diplomats… scientists. I can help them understand each other.“

(Connor MacLeod)

(Adina Ispas – ‘The Lost Path to Olympus’, 1990)

“By drinking from such a cup, the disciple consummated a symbolic union with his teacher, the former becoming mystically ‘one’ with the latter.”

“The author of the Gospel of John – the Gospel in which the Lazarus story figures – does not at any point identify himself as ‘John’. In fact he does not name himself at all. He does, however, refer to himself by a most distinctive appellation. He constantly calls himself ‘the beloved disciple’.”

(M. Baigent, R. Leigh, H. Lincoln – ‘The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail’, 1982)

“When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!”

(John 19:26)

“The Orphics were an ascetic sect; wine, to them, was only a symbol, as, later, in the Christian sacrament. The intoxication that they sought was that of ‘enthusiasm’, of union with the god.”

(Bertrand Russell, 1947)

“Apollo signifies the cause of unity and that which reassembles many into one.”

(Proclus Lycius, 410-485)

“… her names vary by region: Bendida, Kotito, Zerinthia, Brauro, etc. Hellenic authors emphasise her aspects, calling her Artemis, Artemis the Queen, Rhea, Hekate, etc. The combination of the solar and terrestrial principles whose balance is realised by the Sun-husband of the Mother Goddess is the basis of Thracian religion.”

“In Hellenic tradition, the two principles are personified as Orpheus (Apollo) and Dionysus, who also reflect the two manners of professing the cult — enthusiastic and ecstatic. In Northeastern Thracian regions, Zamolxis-Gebeleizis is the figure that unites the uranic-solar and chthonic characteristics.”
