When I heard this on "Gilmore Girls" I thought it was probably a Yoda reference, but when I got on the Internet and tried to find the exact words from Yoda I didn't come up with a match. Can someone tell me if these were Yoda's exact words, or is this only a paraphrase of something he said? (Not being a huge "Star Wars" fan, I don't have the entire dialogue committed to memory.)
