V for Vendetta

[Lecter]

Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason
why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.

[Lecter]

Evey Hammond: [reads] Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici.
V: [translates] By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
Evey Hammond: Personal motto?
V: From "Faust".
Evey Hammond: That's about cheating the devil, isn't it?
V: It is.

[Lecter]

V: But again, if truth be told... if you are looking for the guilty, you need only look in the mirror.

[Lecter]

V: ...A building is nothing more than a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, blowing up a building can change the world.

[Lecter]

V: This may be the most important moment of your life... commit to it.

[Lecter]

V: I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.

[Lecter]

Evey Hammond: Does it have a happy ending?
V: As only celluloid can deliver.

[Lecter]

Valerie: It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one.

[Lecter]

Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

[Lecter]

V: There's no certainty - only opportunity.

[Lecter]

Evey Hammond: My father was a writer. You would've liked him. He used to say that artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.

[Lecter]

Finch: One thing is true of all governments - their most reliable records are tax records.

[Lecter]

V: No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty, I'm no longer standing, because if I am... you'll all be dead before you've reloaded.

[Lecter]

V: It is to Madame Justice that I dedicate this concerto.

[Lecter]

V: People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

[Lecter]

V: The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain.

[Lecter]

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person?

V: I'm quite sure they will say so.
