Castle in the Sky
Young orphan Sheeta and her kidnapper, Col. Muska, are flying to a military prison when their plane is attacked by a gang of air pirates led by the matronly Dola. Escaping from a mid-air collision via a magic crystal around her neck, Sheeta meets fellow orphan Pazu and the pair join forces to discover the mystical floating city of Laputa while pursued by both Muska and the pirates, who lust for the city's myriad treasures.
My favorite quotes:
“Take root in the ground, live in harmony with the wind, plant your seeds in the winter, and rejoice with the birds in the coming of spring. No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.” -Sheeta
“The earth speaks to all of us, and if we listen, we can understand.” -Uncle Pom
“A girl just fell from the sky, boss!” -Pazu
Reverence for nature is the only lasting way for human beings.
