1986 - The most memorable Quotes of the year

If you mean when will Chernobyl be completly save - the half-life of Plutonium 239 is 24,000 years. Perhaps we should just say, "not in our lifetimes."

The accident is well under control.

Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie.

In the early '80s, the arcade game Pac-Man was twice as popular as oxygen.

Becky Feder: "How long ago was the '80s?"
Keithie Feder: "That was way back in the 1900s. We learned about it in school. It was wack. The phones had long, curly things coming out of the end. You had to watch commercials."

"But Dad, I don't want to go to the party."
"You're going to the party, son. The Beastie Boys fought for that right."

I think we can leave mullets back in the '80s. I'm really not a big fan of them.

When Huey Lewis was the news
When we went flying with Tom Cruise
When shoulder pads and looking tough
Was the dirty David Hasselhoff
Too many men with heavy makeup on
Too many poodles with guitars
Thanks for all the joy you've given us
You will always be our superstars

Back to the 80's, back to Soap
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke, yeah
Those were the days
And we go back to the 80's
Say "Hey there, Mister T"
To Twisted Sisters on MTV
Those were the days
Ah, come back
To Iron Maiden and 7Up
Bananarama and Breakfast Club

Back in the Ronald Reagan days
When we put satellites in space
When boys wore skinny leather ties
Like Don Johnson from Miami Vice
When Eminem was just a snack
And Michael Jackson's skin was black
Back when the coolest thing in store
Was a Commodore 64

Growing up in the 80s and 90s: Acting a fool all day long and no smartphones around to take pictures. We're so lucky!

The 80s must have been a great time: Get up, fixate whatever happened to your hair at night with hairspray - done.

She's seen all the classics, she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, even Saint Elmo's Fire
She rocked out to Wham, not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she'd get a hand on a member of Duran Duran

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school, they tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19, 1985

You know, Roger, you are way behind the times. The guys of the 80s aren't tough. They are sensitive people. Show a little emotion to a woman and shit like that. I think I'm an '80s man.

Annie: "Did you wear a helmet?"
Jake: "Yeah, we always wore helmets in the 80s!"

Doc Brown: "Tell me, Future Boy, who's President of the United States in 1985?"
Marty: "Ronald Reagan."
Doc Brown: "Ronald Reagan? The actor? Ha! Then who's Vice President, Jerry Lewis?"

If you go back to the '80s, you had a whole plethora of artists, everyone from Madonna and Cyndi Lauper to Prince. God bless Lady Gaga for doing her thing, but she's kind of a lone peacock now. If anything, we have a much more conservative kind of pop world. It's not necessarily about individuality.

Lord, give me coffee to change the things I can and memories of the 80s to accept the things I can't.

The 80s were a time of magic and nostalgia. Music vibrated through the air and fashion was colorful and vibrant. We danced to the beats of Madonna and Michael Jackson, and the world seemed full of possibilities. The 80s are an era that should never be forgotten.

In the 80s, the hair was big, the shoulder pads were even bigger, and the music was simply mega! From aerobics to neon colors - the 80s were just the ultimate decade of eccentric style. Synthesizers were hotter than ever, and we all danced to "Wake me up before you go-go". Oh, how we love the 80s!

In the deep waters of the past, where the shadows of the 80s lie, shines the fluorescent age. People danced to electronic sounds and dressed in bright colors. Yet beneath the surface, political conflicts and social changes were hidden. An era of excess and uncertainty, captured in the annals of history.

The 80s were a wonderful time,
With neon colors and music, so fine.
Synthesizer sounds guiding our way,
From Duran Duran to Scorpions' display.

The hair was big and wild,
Shoulder pads, a fashionable child.
Breakdancing and hip-hop made their mark,
The style of the 80s was truly stark.

In the disco, we danced till the dawn,
With leggings, shoulder pads, and earrings on.
Madonna and Michael Jackson took the stage,
With their hits, they captured every heart's gauge.

The 80s were a time of pure fun,
Nothing could stop us, we were on the run.
The fashion, the music, the whole culture too,
The 80s were simply pure and true.

The truth is always there, whether we see it or not - whether we choose to or not. The truth doesn't care about our needs or wants. It doesn't care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions.

To be a scientist is to be naive.

When the truth offends me, we lie and we lie until we can no longer remember it is even there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.

Waleri Legassow: "Despite the stupidity, the lies, you're compelled. The problem has been assigned and you'll stop at nothing until you find an answer. Because that is who you are."
Ulana Khomyuk: "A lunatic then."
Waleri Legassow: "A scientist."

That went surprisingly well. You came off like a naive idiot - and naive idiots are not a threat.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparallel catastrophe.

Nuclear energy, in terms of an overall safety record, is better than other energy.

What is the cost of lies? It's not that we mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.

We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out.

There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.

The coming of the wireless era will make war impossible, because it will make war ridiculous.

"There has been an accident at Chernobyl, but I've been assured there is no problem."
Ulana Khomyuk: "I'm telling you that there is."
"I prefer my opinion to yours."

As long as weapons of mass destruction exist, primarily nuclear weapons, the danger is colossal. All nations should declare... that nuclear weapons must be destroyed. This is to save ourselves and our planet.
