Help me remember where this approximate quote comes from...
 
I've had this line in my head for a couple days now and I just can't figure out where it comes from. I know the way I remember it isn't correct, but I'm hoping it will trigger the correct line in someone else's memory.
It's along the lines of "His eyes were forced to see what no human heart should have to bear."
Thanks for any help.

All I got is Profesessor Pretorious from From Beyond: "I want to see MORE! MORE than any man has ever seen!"

(When's that out on DVD?)..."Crawford..."

Captain Kirk from the STAR TREK episode "The Enemy Within"?

QUOTE: "I've seen a part of myself no man should ever see."

Filmmaker, that one approximates what it was, but I remember the quote having the eyes-heart element to it. Thanks for the input.

It's most likely from a movie's trailer (voice over guy) than something that was in an actual movie.

I think it was in a movie where one of the characters was narrating (eg. Shawshank Redemption).

Hi, I've got one too, if you could? I think it's from some spoof movie. Too many people are playing twister, and a black guy says "Who's got their hand in my pocket?".

Naked Gun 33 1/3. Probably a reference to Malcolm X.

Thanks. I should know that, but I haven't watched it, in at least two years. But the quote, and twister image always sticks in my head.

It sounds similar to some lines in the Firefly episode "Bushwhacked":

MAL
But I'll tell you who did -- that poor bastard
you took off my ship. He looked right into the
face of it. Was made to stare.

HARKEN
"It?"

MAL
The darkness. Kinda darkness you can't even
imagine. Blacker than the space it moves in.

HARKEN
Very poetic.
