"So many people so many different races So many tongues and religions came to be They couldn’t share the tower to the heavens They tore it down and let it crumble to the sea"

"I’ve loved and seen love die Life goes on, people change, and I no longer cry Doors are closed, left behind Still I hold you in my mind"

"Spanish are lazy; Russians are crazy Germans will beat you; after they lose Chinese will duck you; Frenchmen will f*** you Jews all have talent; too bad they’re Jews"

"A deal is a deal; not a one that he calls off Question his ethics and he’ll cut your balls off All that he lives for is money"

"When you’re waiting at a station between here and there At a point between your dreams and your survival Tunnels cross; tracks can take you anywhere To change your life between departure and arrival"

"The days pass you by You’re running in place Tomorrow is wearing Your yesterday’s face"

"The money, the money what I won’t do for the money for money, for money I’d gladly sell you my soul"

"Behind a window, I stand and watch the people The kind of window that I can never break No matter how I try to push my heart against it It keeps on bending with every move I make Beyond the window, the world goes on without me Life goes by me while here I… stay"

"How I crave you: your face is perfection But desire is mixed with dejection Though I’ve wooded you: obsessively pursued you It was not in my plan my lusting for a man"

"But not me: I won’t give in They can lead: but I will never follow Take it all: take all of it you can Have your fill of all they make you swallow"

"Give me a cause that I can fight for Give me a wrong I can do right for Give me some laws that don’t abuse me Rules that won’t confuse me"

"Fire suddenly leapt from house to house. The population panicked and ran – and I was swept along with them, aimless and lost without Carrie. Finally, I headed Eastward for the ocean, and my only hope of survival – a boat out of England."

"People loved you and trusted you, came to you for help."

"When the smoke cleared, the little steamer had reached the misty horizon, and Carrie was safe. But the Thunder Child had vanished forever, taking with her man's last hope for victory. The leaden sky was lit with green flashes, cylinder following cylinder, and nothing and no one was left now to fight them. The Earth belonged to the Martians."

"Didn't I warn them?! "Pray," I said! "Destroy the devil," I said! They wouldn't listen! I could've saved the world! But now it's too late! Too late!!!"

"Forget about goodness and mercy. They're gone."

"No one would have believed, in the last years of the 19th century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us."

"Ulla! Ulla!"

"We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they clap eyes on us and we're dead, right? So we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where? Underground. You should see it down there – hundreds of miles of drains – sweet and clean now after the rain. Dark, quiet, safe. We can build houses and everything, start again from scratch. And what's so bad about living underground, eh? It's not been so great living up there, if you want my opinion."

"Didn't I warn them this would happen? "Be on your guard," I said; "for the Evil One never rests." I said, "Exorcise the devil." But no, they wouldn't listen. The demons inside them grew and grew until Satan gave his signal and destroyed the world we knew."

"We'll build shops and hospitals and barracks right under their noses – right under their feet! Everything we need – banks, prisons and schools. We'll send scouting parties to collect books and stuff, and men like you will teach the kids. Not poems and rubbish – science, so we can get everything working. We'll build villages and towns and...and...we'll play each other at cricket! Listen, maybe one day we'll capture a Fighting Machine, eh? Learn how to make 'em ourselves and then wallop! Our turn to do some wiping out! Whoosh with our Heat Ray – whoosh! And them running and dying, beaten at their own game. Man on top again!"

"As time passed in our dark and dusty prison, the Parson wrestled endlessly with his doubts. His outcries invited death for us both – and yet I pitied him."

"It seems totally incredible to me now that everyone spent that evening as though it were just like any other. From the railway station came the sound of shunting trains, ringing and rumbling, softened almost into melody by the distance. It all seemed so safe and tranquil."

"For three days I fought my way along roads packed with refugees, the homeless, burdened with boxes and bundles containing their valuables. All that was of value to me was in London, but by the time I reached their little red-brick house, Carrie and her father were gone."

"Abruptly, the sound ceased. Suddenly, the desolation, the solitude, became unendurable. While that voice sounded, London had still seemed alive. Now, suddenly, there was a change, the passing of something – and all that remained was this gaunt quiet."

"I've got a plan! Can't you just see it? Civilization starting all over again – a second chance. We'll even build a railway and tunnel to the coast, go there for our holidays. Nothing can stop men like us. I've made a start already. Come on down here and have a look."

"As life returns to normal, the question of another attack from Mars causes universal concern. Is our planet safe, or is this time of peace merely a reprieve? It may be that, across the immensity of space, they have learned their lessons and even now await their opportunity. Perhaps the future belongs not to us – but to the Martians?"

"Lin-Manuel Miranda - Alexander Hamilton"

"[On May 12, 2009 Miranda performed Alexander Hamilton - now the first song in the Hamilton musical - at the White House.] That night, Lin reintroduced people to the poor kid from the Caribbean who made the country rich and strong, an immigrant who came here to build a life for himself and ended up helping to build the nation. He is the prototype for millions of men and women who followed him, and continue to arrive today."

"Phillipa Soo - Eliza Hamilton"

"(Tell us your favorite TV, film or theater adaptation of a book.) Far and away it has to be Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” inspired by the Ron Chernow biography, by far. It’s not just an adaptation. It’s a transformation. One of the most impressive creative feats I’ve ever witnessed."

"Oceans rise, empires fall, we have seen each other through it all. And when push comes to shove, I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!"

"He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity. I hate to admit it, but he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us."

"[I]n the Hamilton that Lin-Manuel and his incredible cast and crew bring to life . . . we recognize the improbable story of America, and the spirit that has sustained our nation for over 240 years. And in this telling, rap is the language of revolution. Hip-hop is the backbeat. In each brilliantly crafted song . . . we hear the debates that are still shaping our nation. . . . [W]ith a cast as diverse as America itself, including the outstandingly talented women, the show reminds us that this nation . . . is an inheritance that belongs to all of us."

"Leslie Odom Jr. - Aaron Burr"

"You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed. In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives... I'm burning the memories, burning the letters that might have redeemed you... You forfeit the place in our bed. You sleep in your office instead, with only the memories of when you were mine. I hope that you burn."

"America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me. You let me make a difference. A place where even orphan immigrants can leave their fingerprints and rise up."

"The Lord, in His kindness, He gives me what you always wanted. He gives me more time... I speak out against slavery. You could have done so much more if you only had time... I establish the first private orphanage in New York City... I help to raise hundreds of children... In their eyes I see you, Alexander. I see you every time."

"I’m just like my country, I’m young, scrappy, and hungry, and I am not throwing away my shot!"

"Insane! You cheat with the French, now I'm fighting with France and with Spain!"

"This is a story about America then, told by America now."

"There's a million things I haven't done, but just you wait!"
