Dr. Edward Morbius: My poor Krell.


--Walter Pidgeon (as Dr. Edward Morbius) in Forbidden Planet

Dr. Edward Morbius: One cannot behold the face of the gorgon and live!


--Walter Pidgeon (as Dr. Edward Morbius) in Forbidden Planet

Dr. Edward Morbius: The fool, the meddling idiot! As though his ape's brain could contain the secrets of the Krell!
Altaira: [shocked] Father, he's *dead*!
Dr. Edward Morbius: He was warned, and now he's paid! Let him be buried with the other victims of human greed and folly!
Altaira: [coldly] Morbius. You wanted me to make a choice. Now you've chosen for me.
Dr. Edward Morbius: Alta?
Altaira: [to Commander Adams] I'm ready to go with you, darling.
[She runs up the stairs]
Dr. Edward Morbius: Altaira! No!

Dr. Edward Morbius: Yes, a single machine, a cube 20 miles on each side.

Harry Pebbel: I've told you a hundred times. I don't want to win awards. Give me pictures that end with a kiss and black ink on the books.

James Ellswirth: Helen tells me that you're a very serious-minded man, hard-working, industrious.
Charles Wills: Well I try to be sir.
James Ellswirth: I tell you frankly, these were not the qualities I'd hoped for in a son-in-law.

Mr. Gruffydd: But remember, with strength goes responsibility - to others and to yourselves. For you cannot conquer injustice with more injustice - only with justice and the help of God.


--Walter Pidgeon (as Mr. Gruffydd) in How Green Was My Valley

Mr. Gruffydd: Huw, I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of, not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind. With truth. With the golden sound of the Word. But only a few of them heard. Only a few of you understood.


--Walter Pidgeon (as Mr. Gruffydd) in How Green Was My Valley

Mr. Gruffydd: I know why you have come - I have seen it in your faces Sunday after Sunday as I've stood here before you. Fear has brought you here. Horrible, superstitious fear. Fear of divine retribution a bolt of fire from the skies. The vengeance of the Lord and the justice of God. But you have forgotten the love of Jesus. You disregard His sacrifice. Death, fear, flames, horror and black clothes. Hold your meeting then, but know if you do this in the name of God and in the house of God, you blaspheme against Him and His Word.


--Walter Pidgeon (as Mr. Gruffydd) in How Green Was My Valley

Mr. Gruffydd: You've been lucky, Huw. Lucky to suffer and lucky to spend these weary months in bed. For so God has given you a chance to make the spirit within yourself. And as your father cleans his lamp to have good light, so keep clean your spirit... By prayer, Huw. And by prayer, I don't mean shouting, mumbling, and wallowing like a hog in religious sentiment. Prayer is only another name for good, clean, direct thinking. When you pray, think. Think well what you're saying. Make your thoughts into things that are solid. In that way, your prayer will have strength, and that strength will become a part of you, body, mind, and spirit.
