"Gavroche: Good evening, dear inspector. Lovely evening, my dear. I know this man, my friends, his name is Inspector Javert. So don't believe a word he says 'cause none of it's true. This only goes to show what little people can do!"

"Madam Thénardier: I used to dream that I would meet a prince. But God Almighty...have you seen what's happened since?"

"You wait, my girl! You'll rue this night! I'll make you scream! You'll scream all right!"

"Things changed after the day of Papa's lesson. The world had lost some of its enchantment. School was a bore, nothing but facts, fractions and French. Words and patterns that went on and on without end, just like my irrational nickname. I grew restless, searching for something that might bring meaning back into my life. And then I met Anandi."

"A mouthful of water will not harm you, but panic will."

"Believing in everything at the same time, is the same as not believing in anything at all."

"Animals do not think like we do. People who forget that get themselves killed. That tiger … is not your friend. When you look into his eyes you are seeing your own emotions reflected back at you. Nothing else!"

"I don't expect us all to agree about everything, but I'd much rather have you believe in something I don't agree with rather than have you accept everything blindly. And that begins with thinking rationally. Do you understand?"

"You only need to convert to three more religions Piscine, and you'll spend your life on holiday."

"Spectacle. Don't let the stories and pretty lights fool you. Boys, religion is darkness."

"We're dying, Richard Parker. I'm sorry. Can you feel the rain. God, thank you for giving me my life. I'm ready now."

"Praise be to God. God of all worlds! The compassionate, the merciful! Come out, Richard Parker! Come out you have to see this! It's beautiful! … Don't harm yourself! He's come to us! It's a miracle! Come out and see God Richard Parker! [to the sky] Why are you scaring him? I've lost my family. I've lost everything. I surrender. What more do you want? I'm sorry Richard Parker."

"Words are all I have left to hang on to. Everything mixed up. Fragmented. Can't tell daydreams, night dreams from reality any more."

"I never thought a small piece of shade could bring me so much happiness. That a pile of tools, a bucket, a knife, a pencil might become my greatest treasures. Or that knowing Richard Parker was here might ever bring me peace. In times like these, I remember that he has as little experience with the real world as I do. We were both raised in a zoo by the same master. Now we've been orphaned, left to face our ultimate master together. Without Richard Parker, I would have died by now. My fear of him keeps me alert. Tending to his needs gives my life purpose."

"I can't risk my life every time I have to climb on the boat for supplies. It's time to settle this. If we're going to live together, we have to learn to communicate. Maybe Richard Parker can't be tamed — but with God's will he can be trained."

"Hunger can change everything you ever thought you knew about yourself."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you Lord Vishnu. Thank you for coming in the form of a fish and saving our lives. Thank you."

"In the zoo we fed our tigers an average of 5 kilos of meat a day. Richard Parker will be getting hungry soon. Tigers are powerful swimmers, and if he gets hungry enough, I'm afraid the little bit of water between us won't be any protection. I need to find a way to feed him. I can eat the biscuits, but God made tigers carnivores, so I must learn to catch fish. If I don't, I'm afraid his last meal will be a skinny vegetarian boy."

"Step 4: Disregard Steps 1 through 3."

"Set your house in order and begin for the battle to survive. Establish a strict schedule for eating, keeping watch, and getting rest. Do not drink urine or seawater. Keep busy, but avoid unnecessary exertion. The mind can be kept occupied by playing card games, Twenty Questions, or I Spy. Community singing is another surefire way to lift the spirits. Telling stories is highly recommended. Above all, don't lose hope. Few things can sap the spirit faster than seasickness. Waves are most strongly felt when a boat turns sideways to the current. A sea anchor is used as a drag to keep the boat's head to the wind. Proper use of them can increase control and reduce seasickness during rough seas."

"Thank you Vishnu, for introducing me to Christ. — I came to faith through Hinduism, and I found God's love through Christ. But God wasn't finished with me yet. God works in mysterious ways, and so it was he introduced himself again. This time by the name of Allah. — Allāhu Akbar. My Arabic was never very good, but the sound and feel of the words brought me closer to God. In performing salah, the ground I touched became holy ground, and I found a feeling of serenity and brotherhood."

"The gods were my superheroes growing up. Hanuman, the monkey god, lifting an entire mountain to save his friend Lakshman. Ganesh the elephant headed, risking his life to save the honor of his mother Pārvati. Vishnu, the Supreme Soul. The Soul of all things. Vishnu sleeps, floating on the shoreless cosmic ocean, and we are the stuff of his dreams."

"With one word, my name went from an elegant French swimming pool to a stinking Indian latrine — I was "Pissing" everywhere."

"The part assigned to me is to raise the flag, which, if there be no fault in the machinery, I will do, and when up, it'll be for the people to keep it up. That's my speech."

"[to a hospital nurse] I'm on a list, baby girl."

"[addressing a prison counseling group] That was it. I was finished. I was done. It was as if I had reached my lifelong limit of lies. I could not tell one more lie. And maybe I'm a sucker. Because if I had told just one more lie, I could've walked away from all that mess and kept my wings, kept my false sense of pride. And more importantly, I could've avoided being locked up in here with all you nice folks for the last thirteen months. But I'm here. And I'll be here for at least the next four or five years. And that's fair. I betrayed the public trust. I did. That's how the judge explained it to me. I had betrayed the public trust. The FAA, they took away my pilot's license. And that's fair. My chances of ever flying again are slim to none. And I accept that. I've had a lot of time to think about it, all of it. I've been doing some writing. I wrote letters to each of the families that had lost loved ones. Some of them were able to hear my apology. Some of them never will. I also apologized to all the people that tried to help me along the way, but I couldn't or wouldn't listen. People like my wife, you know. My ex-wife and, uh, my son. And again, like I said, you know, some of them will never forgive me. Some of them will. But at least I'm sober. I thank God for that. I'm grateful for that. And this is gonna sound real stupid coming from a man who's locked up in prison, but for the first time in my life, I'm free."

"No one could have landed that plane like I did. No one."
