ok, here is one for you...let's see who can answer (no cheating and looking it up in Wikipedia or some such....  )
the following is a quote from Swinburne's GARDEN OF PROSERPINE:
That no life lives forever
That dead men rise up never
and even the weariest river
winds somewhere safe to sea
Now the quiz: what movie was this phrase quoted in and who was the star.
(i don't know, it MAY have been quoted in more than one movie, BUT to receive full credit, you must read my mind and reference the one I am thinking of)

Then I realized it was not the same piece of poetry, then had to explain to everyone else in the room what was going on.
