    "Congratulations. You are still alive. Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you. Not anymore." Jigsaw, Saw

    "Those who do not appreciate life do not deserve life." Jigsaw, Saw 2

    "By creating a legacy, by living a life worth remembering, you become immortal." Amanda, Saw 2

    "Death is a surprise party. Unless of course you're already dead on the inside." Jigsaw, Saw 3

    "You'd be surprised what tools can save a life." Amanda, Saw 3

    "You see, things aren't sequential. Good doesn't lead to good, nor bad to bad. People who steal, don't get caught, live the good life. Others lie, cheat and get elected. Some people stop to help a stranded motorist and get taken out by a speeding semi. There's no accounting for it. How you play the cards your dealt - that's all that matters." Jigsaw, Saw 4

    "They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But I find it somewhat... distasteful. To be given credit for work that's not mine. Especially inferior work." Jigsaw, Saw 5

    "You can dispense justice and give people a chance to value their lives in the same moment. Tonight, you'll see the difference between killing and rehabilitation." Jigsaw, Saw 5

    "Did you know that in the Far East, people pay their doctors when they're healthy? When they're sick, they don't have to pay. So basically, they end up paying for what they want, not what they don't want." Jigsaw, Saw 6

    "You think it's the living who have ultimate judgment over you, because the dead will have no claim over your soul. But you may be mistaken." Jigsaw, Saw 6

    "Bravo! To be able to sustain such a traumatic experience and, uh... and yet find a positive in that grizzly act. It's a remarkable feat, indeed. Remarkable... if not a little perverse." From Saw 7 (Saw 3D) Not saying who said that, because to do so would spoil the plot of the entire series :wink:

    I really don't expect anyone to quite understand, but the premise of the Saw movies, and the character of Jigsaw, have changed me for the better. You have to see beyond what's there... In his words, "See as I see"... :smile:

    "When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman."
    Joss Whedon

    It's a poem but has stuck with me through life-

    IF you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
    if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
    And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
