I was just wondering- there are no right or wrong answers in this one (unless you write something which is clearly a joke) I will vote the best answer based on how moving the quote is :)

Answer 1

I don't know about "most poignant," but one quote that has always stuck in my mind is from Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith. It comes from the scene where the senate is convened to hear Darth Sidious declares himself emperor of the galaxy and Senator Amidala says: "So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause."

Reminds me a lot of the world we live in today. We loose so many liberties for the "greater good." Soon we won't be able to do anything of our own free will anymore ... and we'll be under the control of the Sith!!!!
