Word of advice, walker. It's not a choice.
It's always a choice.
You're not gonna be able to make him do what you want him to do.
People had more than they needed.
We had no idea what was precious, what wasn't.
We throw away things people kill each other for now.
We walk by faith , not by sight. It means that you know something, even if you don't know something.
All the years I've been carrying it and reading it every day. I got so caught up with keeping it safe, I forgot to live by what I learned from it.
Do for others more than you do for yourself.

The Book of Eli quotes

  • Eli: They say the war tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.

    Solara: Yeah.

    Eli: The war tore a hole in the sky, the sun came down, burnt everything, everyone, I wandered, I didn't really know what I should do or where I was going. I was just moving from place to place, trying to stay alive. And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. But I could hear it clear as day. Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. It told me to carry the book west, it told me that a path would be laid out before me, that I'd be led to a place where the book would be safe. It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. If only I would have faith. That was thirty years ago and I've been walking ever since.

    Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?

    Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it

  • Hoyt: [seeing two dead hijackers] It's like he's protected somehow. Like there's nothing that can touch him

    Carnegie: Oh, he's just a fucking man. You put a bullet in him, he'll go down like any other.
