The Piano - The Storm's Impact on Family and Silence
Flora McGrath:
One day when my mother and father were singing together in the forest, a great storm blew up out of nowhere. But so passionate was their singing that they did not notice, nor did they stop as the rain began to fall, and when their voices rose for the final bars of the duet a great bolt of lighting came out of the sky and struck my father so that he lit up like a torch. And at the same moment my father was struck dead my mother was struck dumb! She never spoke another word.

X-Men - Reflection on Tolerance and Power
Magneto:
Magnificent, isn't she?
Rogue:
I've seen it.
Magneto:
I first saw her in 1949. America was going to be the land of tolerance. Of peace.
Rogue:
Are you gonna kill me?
Magneto: [pause]
Yes.
Rogue:
Why?
Magneto: [[w:The Holocaust|destroyed]
Because there is no land of tolerance. There is no peace. Not here, nor anywhere else. Women, children, whole families ] simply because they were born different from those in power. Well, after tonight, the world's powerful will be just like us. They will return home as brothers. As mutants. Our cause will be theirs. Your sacrifice will mean our survival. I'll understand if that comes as small consolation.
