Memorable quotes for

The Omega Man (1971)


Matthias: He has confessed all, brothers: Murder, Use of forbidden tools, Practice of prescribed rights, Emit science, Medicine, Weapons, Machinery, Electricity. He has not shared the punishment. He does not bear the marks.

Robert Neville: Marks?

Matthias: Show him, my children. Show him the pretty marks.

Matthias: These are the marks, Mr. Neville. The punishment which you and those like you brought upon us. In the beginning, we tried to help one another, those that were left. We tried to clean things up, set things straight. We buried things and burned. Then it came to me and we were chosen. Chosen for just this work: To bury what was dead. To burn what was evil. To destroy what was dangerous.

Robert Neville: You're barbarians.

Matthias: Barbarians? You call us barbarians? Well... it is an honorable name. We mean to cancel the world you civilized people made. We will simply erase history from the time that machinery and weapons threaten more than they offered. And when you die, the last living reminder of hell will be gone. Gone!

A magical march toward the end of Harry and friends


By Amy Ellis Nutt

The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J

These are the sums of all fears for Harry Potter fans: 3,677 days, 4,195 pages and 19.7 pounds.

They are harsh reminders that all good things — including books — must finally come to an end.


On June 26, 1997, when "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was published in Great Britain, no one could have known — least of all Rowling, then struggling to pay the rent — that the 10-year-old fictional hero who lived under the stairs of his all-too-human relatives would usher in an unprecedented era in book-publishing.

The tale of Rowling

The origins of the Harry Potter series have become the stuff of legend.
