"[To Margaret White] [Tries to grab her hair) SIT DOWN, [grabs her hair and points her finger at Margaret White] you sit there mama and don't say a word 'til I'm goin', I'll be home early, I love you, mama."

"Telekinesis, thought to be the ability to move or to cause changes in objects by force of the mind."

"The residents of Summerisle invited Sergeant Howie to their traditional May Day festival. He didn't expect to meet...The Wicker Man."

"Flesh to touch...Flesh to burn! Don't keep the Wicker Man waiting!"

"May Morrison: You'll simply never understand the true nature of sacrifice."

"Miss Rose: The building attached to the ground in which the body lies is no longer used for Christian worship, so whether it is still a Churchyard is debatable."

"Willow: Some things in their natural state have the most vivid colours."

"Harbour Master: Much has been said of the strumpets of yore Of wenches and bawdyhouse queens by the score But I sing of a baggage that we all adore The landlord's daughter."

"[while being burned alive in a Wicker Man] Oh, God... I humbly entreat you for the soul of this, thy servant, Neil Howie... who will today depart from this world. Do not deliver me into the enemy's hands... or... put me out of mind forever. Let me not undergo the real pains of Hell, dear God, because I die unshriven... and establish me... in that bliss... which knows no ending... through Christ... our Lord. [screaming] JESUS!! JESUS!!!"

"Animals are fine, but their acceptability is limited. A small child is even better, but not nearly as effective as the right kind of adult."

"I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained. They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one of them kneels to another, or to his own kind that lived thousands of years ago. Not one of them is respectable or unhappy, all over the earth."

"The 1973 horror flick "The Exorcist" is my favorite snapshot of the cultural place of (white) (cis) little girls. In the film, a little girl (with a single mother) is possessed by the devil. From another perspective, the little girl is actually exploring her sexuality (masturbation and so on) and her own demons/meanness. Obviously, (white) men from the church have to be brought in to save her since her single mom can't do it alone."

"Nobody expected it, nobody believed it, and nothing could stop it. The one hope, the only hope: THE EXORCIST."

"Something beyond comprehension is happening to a girl on this street, in this house. And a man has been sent for as a last resort. This man is the Exorcist."

"Somewhere between science and superstition, there is another world. The world of darkness."
