Good question. Lets go with a 7 star scale. 1 just being that, and 7 being greater than that.

5/7. But can't we just do nothing rather than changing/adapting/breaking?

It would help for movie quotes that you post the clip, I have never see the movie that AppleBonker posted so IDK how epic it is. No context, no emotion, just words.
I give it an 7.4 out of 10.

5/7- has depth and has a bit of a punchline to it.

4/7 humerous, but that poses a question that we have all had but no one has supplied an answer to.

4/7- Nala anything is pretty damn useless, but the rating system is there, so I can't deny it's existence.

^ 5/7 Just because I like it and think affectionately of my sailboat., but I don't like vagueness and open endedness in something thats supposed to be helpful. (Thats just me though)

Heres one:

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you .
