For me, two of my favourite science fiction films are Blade Runner, which is fantastic, and Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. Both of those were smart science fiction films hitting more of a medium budget, and I desperately hope there is an audience for that kind of film because I would love that to be my next film, on that kind of scale. ~ Duncan Jones
Blade Runner quotes by Duncan Jones
'Blade Runner' was one of several dystopian science-fiction films to tank in the early and middle '80s. 'Tron,' 'The Dark Crystal,' 'The Keep,' 'Labyrinth': none found a large audience. ~ Richard Corliss
Blade Runner quotes by Richard Corliss
I was afraid to watch 'Blade Runner' in the theater because I was afraid the movie would be better than what I myself had been able to imagine. In a way, I was right to be afraid, because even the first few minutes were better. ~ William Gibson
Blade Runner quotes by William Gibson
I think over time I've learned to stop being a screamer and get interactive; otherwise, you get killed in Hollywood. I stopped being a screamer shortly after 'Blade Runner,' kicking doors and things like that, because I wasn't actually getting anywhere. ~ Ridley Scott
Blade Runner quotes by Ridley Scott
Your generation - you've not heard the Verve or Jimi Hendrix or Eminem, you've not read The Catcher in the Rye, you've not seen a classic film like Terminator or Blade Runner. All you've done is read dross, listen to crap and watch Disney movies with happy endings. And what kind of generation have we produced? A slow, simple, dull one who never questions anything. A stunted generation. It's devolution because in order for society to progress, you need to be able to debate ideas, to question, to see the dark and the light in things ~ Sam Mills
Blade Runner quotes by Sam Mills
Blade Runner is a rare science fiction movie so full of material that pages can be written about it without scratching the surface. A review like this can provide little more than an overview. A detailed exploration of the movie, its style, and its mysteries requires dedication that only someone immersed in Blade Runner lore can provide. ~ James Berardinelli
Blade Runner quotes by James Berardinelli
The clones are already there; the virtual beings are already there. We are all replicants! We are so in the sense that, as in Blade Runner, it is already almost impossible to distinguish properly human behaviour from its projection on the screen, from its double in the image and its computerized prostheses. ~ Jean Baudrillard
Blade Runner quotes by Jean Baudrillard
Blade Runner was the godfather of all these fantastic movies that occur today. What's frustrating is that we're short of really great writing and great ideas. Blade Runner was full of them. ~ Ridley Scott
Blade Runner quotes by Ridley Scott
My life and creative work are justified and completed by Blade Runner. ~ Philip K. Dick
Blade Runner quotes by Philip K. Dick
The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long. ~ Lao-Tzu
Blade Runner quotes by Lao-Tzu
I would like to see a fierce Fantasia mixed with Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars all in one. That's the kind of movies I want to make. ~ Michelle Rodriguez
Blade Runner quotes by Michelle Rodriguez
I want to write a score for a film. It can be a proper film, maybe for a film kind of like ... I saw that movie 'Drive', or a bit of a 'Blade Runner' vibe. A little bit sci-fi, but I don't know. I've just always wanted to write a score for a film. ~ Flume
Blade Runner quotes by Flume
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. ~ Rutger Hauer
Blade Runner quotes by Rutger Hauer
The visual team of 'Blade Runner' - one of the last big fantasy movies to be made without much computer graphics finery - worked directly for Scott, who sketched each of his prolific ideas on paper (they were called 'Ridley-grams'). ~ Richard Corliss
Blade Runner quotes by Richard Corliss
I think the future stopped looking American when you think back to Blade Runner and Neuromancer, when it started to look more Japanese. ~ Iain Banks
Blade Runner quotes by Iain Banks
'Blade Runner' is one of my favorite films. ~ J.H. Wyman
Blade Runner quotes by J.H. Wyman
Blade Runner's just a noir at the end of the day. Rosemary's Baby is about the fear of having a child and how that gets in the way of a romantic relationship. Or whatever it is, and you add that extra element that blows your mind apart. ~ James Ponsoldt
Blade Runner quotes by James Ponsoldt
'Blade Runner' is such a unique film. How do you describe a diamond? I don't think you should ever touch it again. ~ Rutger Hauer
Blade Runner quotes by Rutger Hauer
If you look at 'Blade Runner,' it's been cut sixteen ways from Sunday, and there are all kinds of different versions of it. ~ George Lucas
Blade Runner quotes by George Lucas
I wasn't a big science fiction aficionado, there were a few films like 2001 or Blade Runner that were favorites of mine, but since I started this series I have gained more respect for the genre and become more of a fan myself. ~ Joe Flanigan
Blade Runner quotes by Joe Flanigan
Blade Runner was an incredibly influential movie, in terms of the way that it envisioned what the future was going to look like. ~ Charlize Theron
Blade Runner quotes by Charlize Theron
The rich survive and everyone else gets ready to work 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 jobs and what do you get? Blade Runner. Welcome to your science fiction. Your 21st century. I think that's where it goes. The rich get richer and everyone else ... the middle class kind of starts dropping lower and lower. ~ Henry Rollins
Blade Runner quotes by Henry Rollins
Once, I got slaughtered after 'Blade Runner' by Pauline Kael: three pages of slaughter. I was so offended, I would never read any more press. ~ Ridley Scott
Blade Runner quotes by Ridley Scott
I have always been a huge fan of Ridley Scott and certainly when I was a kid. 'Alien', 'Blade Runner' just blew me away because they created these extraordinary worlds that were just completely immersive. I was also an enormous Stanley Kubrick fan for similar reasons. ~ Christopher Nolan
Blade Runner quotes by Christopher Nolan
Blade Runner appears regularly, two or three times a year in various shapes and forms of science fiction. It set the pace for what is essentially urban science fiction, urban future and it's why I've never re-visited that area because I feel I've done it. ~ Ridley Scott
Blade Runner quotes by Ridley Scott
I'm big and a lot of the stars are smaller so if you're big and mean looking, you play bad guys. After Blade Runner, I was the meanest guy in Hollywood. ~ Brion James
Blade Runner quotes by Brion James
Blade Runner helped make my career. Everybody was in it. Who knew? ~ Brion James
Blade Runner quotes by Brion James
I was desperately unhappy with it [Blade Runner]. I was compelled by contract to record five or six different versions of the narration, each of which was found wanting on a storytelling basis. The final version was something that I was completely unhappy with. The movie obviously has a very strong following, but it could have been more than a cult picture. ~ Harrison Ford
Blade Runner quotes by Harrison Ford
I've been kinda fascinated by misfits, outcasts, and downtrodden people. I've identified with them. 'Blade Runner' probably got me more work than any. It convinced some producers that I could play something other than a rural crazy, I guess. ~ William Sanderson
Blade Runner quotes by William Sanderson
When I saw 'Blade Runner,' my understanding was that 'Blade Runner' and 'Alien' were sequels to each other - or they were related. They were set in the same world. ~ Damon Lindelof
Blade Runner quotes by Damon Lindelof
The set for 'Blade Runner' was maybe the hardest set I've ever worked on because I think we worked 50 nights in a row, and it was always raining. ~ Harrison Ford
Blade Runner quotes by Harrison Ford
With Rodham, for instance, it has to work on an emotional level. It has to work on a character level. If it's only "Look, it has famous people," then it's a wax museum come to life and that's really boring. It's sort of like what they say about science fiction and horror where the really good ones, if you remove that element of it, it still has to work. That's the reason The Shining works or Rosemary's Baby or Blade Runner. ~ James Ponsoldt
Blade Runner quotes by James Ponsoldt
The people who really resurrected 'Blade Runner' was 'MTV.' ~ Ridley Scott
Blade Runner quotes by Ridley Scott
I could talk about Blade Runner forever. ~ Brion James
Blade Runner quotes by Brion James
Squeaker and the Colonel were aware that death had visited them in their home, she'd come swaggering in on spike heels, and with a big noise had removed one of their number, from the world of the living to that other place where all one's batteries were run down flat and the light behind one's button eyes went out. ~ K.W. Jeter
Blade Runner quotes by K.W. Jeter
When I was a kid, 'Blade Runner' was my favorite movie. I remember seeing that when I was a little boy with my dad. ~ Tahmoh Penikett
Blade Runner quotes by Tahmoh Penikett
A gnarled old branch dulls the blade that severs a sapling. ~ Robert Jordan
Blade Runner quotes by Robert Jordan
I found every breath of air, and every scent, and every flower and leaf and blade of grass and every passing cloud, and everything in nature, more beautiful and wonderful to me than I had ever found it yet. This was my first gain from my illness. How little I had lost, when the wide world was so full of delight for me. ~ Charles Dickens
Blade Runner quotes by Charles Dickens
I remember that famous line from Olympic runner Eric Liddell. People asked him why he ran and he said, 'When I run, I feel His pleasure.' When I lay my hands on the keyboard, that is exactly how I feel, I feel God's pleasure. It is what he made me to do. ~ Dave Sterrett
Blade Runner quotes by Dave Sterrett
Are we going to debate philosophy or should I just kiss and make up with the demon now? Let it get a good shot at your throat so it can rip it out? (Xypher) Put him down mercifully. (Kat) Yes, Queenie. I'll make sure and use a cushioned blade. (Xypher) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Blade Runner quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
At the sound of the heavy knob turning, he cursed under his breath. She was coming in, damn it!
To stop Maria before she ruined everything, he grabbed her about the waist, hauled her against him, and sealed his mouth to hers.
At first she seemed too stunned to do anything. When after a moment, he felt her trying to draw back from him, he caught her behind the neck in an iron grip.
"Oh," Gran said in a stiff voice. "Beg pardon."
Dimly he heard the door close and footsteps retreating, but before he could let Maria go, a searing pain shot through his groin, making him see stars. Blast her, the woman had kneed him in the ballocks!
As he doubled over, fighting to keep from passing out, she snapped, "That was for making me look like a whore, too!"
When she turned for the door, he choked out, "Wait!"
"Why should I?" she said, heading inexorably forward. "You've done nothing but insult and humiliate me before your family."
Still reeling, he presented his only ace in the hole, "If you return to town," he called after her, "what will you do about your Nathan?"
That halted her, thank God.
He forced himself to straighten, though the room spun a little. "You still need my help, you know."
Slowly, she faced him. "So far you haven't demonstrated any genuine intent to offer help," she said icily.
"But I will." He gulped down air, struggling for mastery over his pain. "Tomorrow we'll return to town and hire a runner. I know one who's ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Blade Runner quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
People think that coaches are always right, but it's difficult to teach a runner how to run, because every runner is different. You have to have an understanding of how to assist what that runner has, so they know how to assist what you have without taking away your special ability, because you're not like anybody else. ~ Jim Brown
Blade Runner quotes by Jim Brown
When the meal was over we all had a quiet rest in our rooms and I meditated on the race. This is the time when an athlete feels all alone in the big world. Opponents assume tremendous stature. Any runner who denies having fears, nerves or some kind of disposition is a bad athlete, or a liar. ~ Gordon Pirie
Blade Runner quotes by Gordon Pirie
It's spring! Farewell To chills and colds! The blushing, girlish World unfolds Each flower, leaf And blade of sod - Small letters sent To her from God. ~ John Updike
Blade Runner quotes by John Updike
'FlashForward' was a dream come true. I had auditioned for David Goyer for 'Blade: Trinity' and didn't get the part, but I guess he became a fan. ~ Zachary Knighton
Blade Runner quotes by Zachary Knighton
It is true there is a scent in the desert, though there may be no flower or tree or blade of grass within miles. It is the essence of the untrodden, untarnished earth herself! ~ Rosita Forbes
Blade Runner quotes by Rosita Forbes
The difference between a jogger and a runner is an entry blank. ~ George A. Sheehan
Blade Runner quotes by George A. Sheehan
It's said that when we die, the four elements - earth, air, fire and water - dissolve one by one, each into the other, and finally just dissolve into space. But while we're living, we share the energy that makes everything, from a blade of grass to an elephant, grow and live and then inevitably wear out and die. This energy, this life force, creates the whole world. ~ Pema Chodron
Blade Runner quotes by Pema Chodron
That is what I thought of you, Ellie. Heartless, reckless, selfish, and cruel."
He was back to shooting me when my armor was down. I turned my face away from him, not wanting to let him see the hurt in my eyes. He reached up and put his fingers under my chin, bringing my face forward again, forcing me to look at him.
"Beautiful, sad, wounded, and lost," he continued. "A freak, a work of art, a liar, and a lover."
His gaze was starting to eat away at my insides. Razor-blade butterflies whirled in my heart.
"I hate you, Ellie Watt," he whispered, lips coming closer to mine, "because I still love you after all these years. ~ Karina Halle
Blade Runner quotes by Karina Halle
His gaze was heat across her cheeks, her lips. It was touch. His eyes were hypnotic, his brows black and velvet. He was copper and shadow, honey and menace, the severity of knife-blade cheekbones and a widow's peak like the point of a dagger. ~ Laini Taylor
Blade Runner quotes by Laini Taylor
Grasp a difficulty by the "blade" and it cuts; grasp it by the "handle" and you can use it constructively. ~ Norman Vincent Peale
Blade Runner quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Six of the young cupbearers were playing some child's game as he entered, sitting in a circle on the floor as they took turns spinning a dagger. When it wobbled to a stop they cut a lock of hair off whichever of them the blade was pointing at. ~ George R R Martin
Blade Runner quotes by George R R Martin
Any do-gooder can save one life or a dozen by spending x dollars, but that doesn't demonstrate anything unless you've got x dollars multiplied by the total number of lives that need saving. Stopping poverty one victim at a time is like mowing a lawn one blade at a time. The problem grows faster than the cure can be applied, the only people who profit are the agencies who claim to be cutting grass while they're actually applying fertilizer. ~ Sheri S. Tepper
Blade Runner quotes by Sheri S. Tepper
Do not push me," she warned in a shaky voice.

"Och, but I will." He shifted on his booted feet, pushed his hips harder against hers, until she felt a part of the wall. A part of him. "You lifted a blade to me, Katarina. I'm going to push you hard. ~ Kris Kennedy
Blade Runner quotes by Kris Kennedy
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. ~ Rabindranath Tagore
Blade Runner quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Those two are carved from the same tree." the queen said.
By the same blade." The high king answered and offered her his arm in splendid dignity ~ Victoria Hanley
Blade Runner quotes by Victoria Hanley
Being a lifelong runner, knowing what running gives me, a variety of factors - that is what motivates me. ~ Bill Rodgers
Blade Runner quotes by Bill Rodgers
You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass. ~ Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
Blade Runner quotes by Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
He was not at the moment in very good odour at Bow Street. Such epithets as Blockhead and Blunderer had been used in connection with his last case. 'Jeremiah Stubbs, miss,' said the Runner. 'I am here in the execution of my dooty. ~ Georgette Heyer
Blade Runner quotes by Georgette Heyer
An invisible blade of fire drew across the flesh of his shoulders and down his back. He had no idea what the mark was, but he felt the spread of magic forever etched into his skin. ~ Sheila English
Blade Runner quotes by Sheila English
It's a nice visual. I had just done Blade and I put on more weight for Blade and I thought I might as well use it so I kept it and added a little more. I wanted him to be a big bear. ~ Ryan Reynolds
Blade Runner quotes by Ryan Reynolds
During the election, I had three male opponents and we went into a runoff. The front runner for the men was a native of Dallas who had run at large before, but I had a higher profile than him from my community service. ~ Eddie Bernice Johnson
Blade Runner quotes by Eddie Bernice Johnson
The world was waiting--wide open and hers for the taking. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Blade Runner quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Cause nobody's the slightest idea who we are, or who we were, not even we ourselves
- except, that is, in the glimmer of a moment of fair business between strangers, or the nod of knowing and agreement between friends.
Other than these, we go out anonymous into the insect air and all we are is the dust of colour, brief engineerings of wings towards a glint of light on a blade of grass or a leaf in a summer dark. ~ Ali Smith
Blade Runner quotes by Ali Smith
The Lady Vader has come. We would hear her words.'

'Then you will hear them in prison.' The dynast gestured, and two more of the official guard left their line, heading purposefully toward the steps.

It was, Leia judged, the right moment. Glancing down at her belt, she reached out through the Force with all the power and control she could manage--

And her lightsaber leaped from her belt, breaking free from its quick-release and jumping up in front of her. Her eyes and mind found the switch, and with a snap-hiss the brilliant green-white blade flashed into existence, carving out a vertical line between her and the line of dynasts.

There was a sound like a hissing gasp from the crowd. The two Noghri who had been moving toward the maitrakh froze in mid stride...and as the gasp vanished into utter silence, Leia knew that she'd finally gotten their complete attention. 'I am not merely the daughter of the Lord Vader,' she said, putting an edge of controlled anger into her voice. 'I am the Mal'ary'ush: heir to his authority and his power. I have come through many dangers to reveal the treachery that has been done to the Noghri people.'

She withdrew as much of her concentration as she could risk from the floating lightsaber to look slowly down the line of dynasts. 'Will you hear me? Or will you instead choose death? ~ Timothy Zahn
Blade Runner quotes by Timothy Zahn
Along the blade of a knife lies the path of paradox - the single most worthy path of the fearless mind ... ~ Yevgeny Zamyatin
Blade Runner quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Thomas remembered the image of the Cranks at the windows back at the dorm. Like living nightmares, missing only a death certificate to make them official zombies. ~ James Dashner
Blade Runner quotes by James Dashner
Maybe the problem with holding onto memories so tightly is that they don't allow us to make room for the future. Maybe the gentle decay of the past is a blessing that dulls the sharp blade of regret, allowing the possibility of rebirth. ~ Ryan Galloway
Blade Runner quotes by Ryan Galloway
Be tough in the way a blade of grass is: rooted, willing to lean, and at peace with what is around it. ~ Natalie Goldberg
Blade Runner quotes by Natalie Goldberg
Maximus was cleaning his blade on the dead man's wolfskin. 'You promised him his life,' the Greek said. 'No, I said death was his last worry.' Maximus swung up on to Pale Horse. 'Is that not so for all of us? ~ Harry Sidebottom
Blade Runner quotes by Harry Sidebottom
What is God doing in my life? In the mornings, I wake to find that he has traced the world in silver. Every blade of grass. Each pumpkin on the porch. In the afternoons, I find him washing these fields with the mellow sunlight of autumn. He has gilded every rail in the fence and the sheet metal roof of the old red barn. He has transformed familiar trees into something otherworldly. ~ Christie Purifoy
Blade Runner quotes by Christie Purifoy
The blade gleamed in his hand, making my knees go so weak that I had to hold onto the car. Even watching him use a butter knife on an unsuspecting piece of toast was enough to make my whole body burn, inciting an erection under the table that would last long past dessert. ~ Nicole Castle
Blade Runner quotes by Nicole Castle
I slowly, deliberately began to work the blade into his throat. He squirmed and kicked and fought agains tme, but in his current state, I was stronger. His will to live was pathetic, just like he was. Eventually he stopped kicking. I kept cutting. When I was finally done, I was covered in sweat and only a few drops of blood on my shoes and pants.
They'd come out in a good wash.
I put his head into the garbage and pulled the bag out, making a knot at the end. I hoped it wouldn't leak through. Then I looked around the office. It was a mess before I came in, piles of paper and empty beer bottles scattered around. The addition of his blood and a headless corpse was barely noticeable. ~ Karina Halle
Blade Runner quotes by Karina Halle
I want you here. I don't care if it's a hundred degrees and every blade of grass dies. Without you, none of that matters to me. ~ Kami Garcia
Blade Runner quotes by Kami Garcia
