Describe... Literature, music and television are full of quotable quotes, and they are frequently used as titles in other works. In this case, only part of a quote is used, one which really doesn't indicate what it's about, but the other part, the one left unsaid, does. This often gets audiences thinking before they see it, and creates expectations about what it will be about, particularly if it's a very well-known quote that everyone can finish without thinking. Other, more obscure, quotes may count as a Genius Bonus, but will still serve the same function in those familiar with them. Consider a quote that everyone knows from William Shakespeare, "To be, or not to be," from a scene in which Hamlet contemplates suicide. For this to be in effect, a work in which a character is considering killing himself would be titled, "To Be", while one that focuses on the reasons he has to live would be titled "Or Not To Be". Sub-Trope of Literary Allusion Title and Foreshadowing. Compare Compound Title and Double-Meaning Title. If two parts of a quote are used separately for different (but thematically linked) episodes, they're Cross-Referenced Titles. |

If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.", by Albert Einstein). Chapter V: Fearful Symmetry (from the poem, "The Tyger", by William Blake). Chapter VI: The Abyss Gazes Also (from the quote, "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.", by Friedrich Nietzsche).

The film Come and See is about a boy's experiences during the Nazi invasion of Soviet Russia. Its title alludes to Revelation 6, where John is told to "come and see", and then writes "and I looked, and behold, a pale horse whose rider's name was Death." | |

In The Addams Family, Wednesday Addams has a complete-the-quote name. Her name comes from the popular folk poem that starts "Monday's child is fair of face" and gives similar descriptions for the other days of the week. The line for Wednesday is "Wednesday's child is full of woe", which perfectly describes the solemn Wednesday. | |

Fools Rush In is a bit ambiguous. The original is a quote from Alexander Pope: "fools rush in where angels fear to tread". This quote was then referenced in the lyrics to "Can't Help Falling in Love", made famous by Elvis Presley: "Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you". The title is likely taken from the song, which is now more famous than the original quote, and which is actually featured in the film. | |

The 100 is rather fond of this: "I Am Become Death". The quote itself is dropped after the characters blow up a bridge (making a mushroom cloud), holding off a Grounder attack in the process. "Long into an Abyss", an episode about the consequences of leadership, fittingly gets its title from Friedrich Nietzsche. "Ye Who Enter Here", from Inferno's infamous "Abandon hope...". The episode "Nevermore" gets its title from The Raven, in which a raven drives a man to insanity ("Quoth the raven..."). In this episode, Raven is possessed and deals out Breaking Speeches to the other characters. "Red Sky At Morning", from an oft-quoted mariner rhyme: "Red sky at night, sailors' delight. / Red sky at morning, sailors take warning." Fittingly, in this episode, Clarke and company visit Luna's sea-dwelling people, and the trip goes awry. |

All the storylines in Skin Horse have Children's Literary Allusion Titles, and usually the reference is right there in the title ("I Can Fly" introduces Nick the helicopter; "Big Bad Wolves" is about werewolves). There have been some exceptions: "Yes, Virginia" is about Virginia Lee joining the team's Secret Santa ("... there really is a Santa Claus") "Sure as You're Born", from the Shel Silverstein poem "The Unicorn", is about the Weirdness Censor mysteriously spreading from about 20% of the US population to nearly everyone. You're never going to see a unicorn. "Unsinkable" is from Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent, and does indeed involve a sea serpent. "The Lee of the Stone" is about Artie being targeted by A-Sig and having to abandon his comfortable life. The quote is from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, but the full context is the owl telling Mrs Frisby "You must move your house to the lee of the stone" to be safe. |

Happens thrice in Final Fantasy XIV Halfway through the main storyline is a quest titled "All Good Things", referencing the saying "All good things must come to an end." Having just triumphed over Titan, you return to the Scions' safehouse to report in person. And you find the aftermath of a brutal Garlean attack, with only one survivor who hangs on just long enough to tell you what happened and where to go. Worse, the Garleans were there specifically looking for you. The last quest of the 2.5 storyline (and, by extension, of A Realm Reborn) is titled "Before the Dawn". Given all the horrible things that have happened by the time you get there (extremely short version: the Ul'dahn Syndicate launches a coup, with the aid of the traitorous Ilberd and several of his fellow Crystal Braves, the sultana is poisoned, you and your fellow Scions are framed for the crime, and most of them stay behind to buy you time to escape and clear your name) it's easily the Darkest Hour of the story. Late in 3.1's story, you engage in a quest called "Against the Dying of the Light" part of a line from Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night (the same source as Do Not Go Gentle. The full line is "Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night. Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light."), Which has the Warrior of Light, along with Thancred, Y'sholta, Alphinaud, Aymeric and Artoiel going into the Vault to rescue hostages from fundamentalist extremists, and ends with one of the hostages being saved by a dragon. Note that Aymeric is also injured during this. The missing part of the line could reference that the antagonists of the quests are not willing to see their way of of life go so quickly, in other words, they rage against the dying of their light. It could also reference how Aymeric is willing to fight despite his injuries. And on a lighter note, there's the achievements for completing high-end raids as a tank which, when taken together, make a whole quote: "A Tankless Job", "But Somebody's Gotta Do It". |

World of Warcraft: There's a quest in the Mt. Hyjal region that's a play on the phrase, "If you're not with us, you're against us", but switches it around a bit. The actual title is, "If You're Not Against Us...", and the point is to convince a demonic satyr to help repel the invading Twilight's Hammer, which he does, though he arranges it so that in the process he can escape the chains imprisoning him there. One of the Halfhill daily quests is called "Water, Water Everywhere", which comes from Rime Of The Ancient Mariner and is about watering Farmer Fung's drying out crops, "nor any drop to drink." |

Well, not the title but the tagline on every cover. The Thunderbolts had as its tagline, "Justice, Like Lightning..." The first and most obvious clue that our new heroes aren't heroes, but the Avengers foes the Masters of Evil in disguise is that tagline, if you know the full quote: "Justice, like lightning, should ever appear to few men's ruin, but to all men's fear." | |

Too Like the Lightning, the first book of the Terra Ignota series, derives its title from a passage in Romeo and Juliet: "It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden,/Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be/Ere one can say "It lightens." While in the original context, Juliet is expressing doubt about Romeo's constancy, in the context of the novel, it serves to raise questions about the novel's utopian setting and/or shocking events which threaten its continued utopianism. | |

The Fault in Our Stars is quote mined from Shakespeare's "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves." Quoth John Green, "Which is an easy thing to say if you're, like, you know, Shakespeare or a Roman nobleman, but in the broad sense, I don't know that I agree with Shakespeare a hundred percent." Diseases, especially diseases like cancer, rarely come to affect people who "deserve" it. It's really very random. And cancer is what really serves as the most negative influence on the characters' lives, so the fault did indeed lie in their stars. Never mind that Shakespeare's characters were speaking of the rise of a tyrant in their country, something that is the responsibility of the citizens to stop, regardless of "stars". They'd probably agree that diseases and politics are very different. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): The episode "I Shot an Arrow into the Air" qualifies. The next line of Longfellow's poem is "It fell to earth, I know not where", foreshadowing that the astronauts have not landed on a desert planet, but in a desert on Earth. The title of the episode "A Nice Place to Visit" comes from the saying "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there." The Ironic Hell seen in this episode is a casino where you always win: indeed a nice place to visit, but one that drives you crazy with boredom if you're stuck there for all eternity. |

One The Order of the Stick strip has Roy bemoaning that he wasted so much time trying to unlock his sword's "legacy weapon" powers to fight undead, only to drop it off an airship. As he screams in frustration, it appears in his hand: not the power he was expecting but certainly one he can use. The title is "But If You Try Sometimes", referencing The Rolling Stones (Band) lyric "You can't always get what you want/But if you try sometimes/You just might find/You get what you need". | |

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion plays with this in the quest "Whom Gods Annoy". The quest's name is a reference to the quote "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad", and the quest itself involves a Cursed Item that the Daedric Prince of Madness Sheogorath created for the purpose of Trolling mortal. | |

The 1968-70 adventure series focuses on a cat burglar employed as a thief by the government in exchange for commuting his prison sentence, while the 2005 reality series involves helping homeowners patch up holes in their security systems by staging a burglary (with the homeowners' knowledge and consent) that exploits those holes. | |

Some of the titles in the The First Law are this coupled with Literary Allusion Title, and are taken from a quote which is (one of the) work's epigraph(s): The first novel, The Blade Itself comes from a quotation from Homer that "The blade itself incites to deeds of violence'' (as discussed here, it is a loose translation). The second novel is titled Before They Are Hanged, and derives from a Henrich Heine quote, "We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged." The third novel's title, The Last Argument of Kings, refers to the words Louis XIV had inscribed on his cannons: "Ultima Ratio Regum," which is Latin for "the last argument of kings." A standalone novel Best Served Cold derives from the proverb that "Revenge is a dish best served cold", which fits the novel being about the heroine's Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Another standalone novel, The Heroes alludes to a quote by Bertolt Brecht that "Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes" (incidentally, the same quote is used as the series title of another grimdark fantasy, A Land Fit for Heroes). |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "If Wishes Were Horses", beggars would ride. "Nor the Battle to the Strong" also draws its name from a biblical quote: "I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." It's the last bit that really captures what the episode is about. "Let He Who Is Without Sin...", half of the famous Biblical quote, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." "In the Pale Moonlight", referencing the Joker's line in Batman (1989): Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?'' |

In Mass Effect 2, a number of missions and achievements are partial references to quotes or songs, for instance the mission "A House Divided", a reference to an Abraham Lincoln quote ending in "... against itself cannot stand." The original speech was given during his campaign to be elected to the US Senate in 1858, and was primarily concerned with the question of slavery, while predicting that the US would fall apart on itself if the question wasn't resolved soon. Naturally, The American Civil War broke out a few years later due in large part to that exact issue, and the mission in-game centers on The Geth being divided on how to deal with the Reapers and a faction hoping to force the rest into obeying the Reapers. | |

Late in 3.1's story, you engage in a quest called "Against the Dying of the Light" part of a line from Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night (the same source as Do Not Go Gentle. The full line is "Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night. Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light."), Which has the Warrior of Light, along with Thancred, Y'sholta, Alphinaud, Aymeric and Artoiel going into the Vault to rescue hostages from fundamentalist extremists, and ends with one of the hostages being saved by a dragon. Note that Aymeric is also injured during this. The missing part of the line could reference that the antagonists of the quests are not willing to see their way of of life go so quickly, in other words, they rage against the dying of their light. It could also reference how Aymeric is willing to fight despite his injuries. | |

SeaQuest DSV: "The Sincerest Form of Flattery'': The episode deals with an AI-controlled attack sub that goes rogue, but which was programmed using Bridger's personality, and using tactics he developed. Imitation, after all... "By Any Other Name" deals with an underwater horticultural colony being overrun by an unknown force, a plant that mutated and became intelligent and aggressive. And immune to lasers. A rose (or crazy B-movie inspired monster plant) by any other name. "And Everything Nice" has Lucas falling for a girl on shore but this turns out to be a subversion as sugar and spice she is not. She's actually part of a terrorist cell using Lucas to gain access to UEO facilities. |

To Catch a Thief takes its title from the second half of the idiom "It takes a thief to catch a thief", which holds that the best person to get inside a criminal's mind is another criminal.

For Whom the Bell Tolls is part of a line from a devotional writing by John Donne. In this case, it's the previous line that is most thematically appropriate: "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind" (the novel is largely an exploration of the nature of companionship in a time of war and death). However, completing the line that the title is taken from also makes it into a Spoiler Title: "And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." | |

Babylon 5: The episode "And the Sky, Full of Stars" plays with this; it's a slight misquote of... not a literary quote, but a line that Sinclair actually used in the pilot episode, referring to the Battle of the Line (which "And the Sky" centers on): Another episode is titled "And Now for a Word", which in the old days was usually finished with "from our sponsors". This episode is shown as an ISN documentary on the station, and includes a commercial for the Psi Corps, which has a single frame with the words, "The Psi Corps is your friend. Trust the Corps." The implication is that Psi Corps was the sponsor and that they got their word in. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: An episode regarding an infertile species is titled "When the Bough Breaks" (the cradle will fall). The episode "The Measure of a Man" takes its title from a quote by Martin Luther King Jr.: The episode "The Most Toys" is taken from the quote "He who dies with the most toys wins", a sentiment shared by the antagonist, as he is willing to threaten and risk lives for the purpose of increasing his collection. The ending reinforces it, as he is defeated not by being killed but by living long enough to see his collection confiscated. The episode "Thine Own Self" comes from a quote from Hamlet: "This above all, to thine own self be true." The Grand Finale is titled "All Good Things..." (must come to an end.) |
