** season 7: "From beneath you, it devours".
*** Or, as one pair of characters translated it, "It eats you starting with your bottom."
*** Subtly, in a reference to the alternate translation: "What crawled up your butt/ass and died?"

* "From beneath you, it devours" from Season Seven of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
** Or, as one pair of characters translated it, "It eats you starting with your bottom."
*** Subtly, in a reference to the alternate translation: "What crawled up your butt/ass and died?"
** In season 5: "Death is your gift."
** In seasons 4 & 5: "You think you know. What's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun."

* ''Simon Schama's A History of Britain'' episode 12 "Forces of Nature" discussed how the word "Nature" changed for Britons through the years. By the end:
-->"Nature no longer connected them to the wider world, it detached them from it. Nature no longer meant solidarity, it meant solitude."

** The second half of Series 7 has the words "Run, you clever boy, and remember" (although they actually first appear in "Asylum of the Daleks"). [[spoiler: They're Clara's last words in "Asylum of the Daleks" and "The Snowmen", the way she remembers her WiFi password in "The Bells of Saint John", and then the last words she says before entering the Doctor's timestream in "The Name of the Doctor".]]

*** "Bad Wolf" is also something of a subversion in that the words kept appearing (although less often) after the "arc" was concluded, because the words were across all of time and space, so they wouldn't be expected to only appear where they were actually needed.

** The second half of Series 7 has the words "Run you clever boy, and remember." [[spoiler: They're Clara's last words twice, and the way she remembers her WiFi password in her third life.]]

* ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' is crawling with these;

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'' inherits "Winter is coming" and all the other ArcWords mentioned for ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' listed under the Literature tab above.

** ''Film/InlandEmpire'' has a few; most obvious is "look at me and tell me if you've known me before", but there's also "AXXoN N.", "just down the way" and "the horse to the well" (which is hard to spot since it's mostly muffled or spoken in Polish).

* ''LostHighway'': Dick Laurant is dead. We've met before, haven't we?

* ''Film/TheConversation'': "He'd kill us if he had the chance."

* ''Simon Schama's A History of Britain'' episode 12 "Forces of Nature".
-->Nature no longer connected them to the wider world, it detached them from it. Nature no longer meant solidarity, it meant solitude.

* ''Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'': All ponies are "children of this land".

* ''FIlm/RedRidingHood'': "During the Blood Moon, a man bitten is a man cursed."

** 528-491. Notable, in that they really don't mean anything: Fisher's mind gives them value.

* ''Film/ThChroniclesOfRiddick'': "In our faith, we keep what we kill."

** To a lesser degree, "Unfamiliar Ceiling".

** Also from Stephen King: The DarkTower series has ''multitudes'', including constant mention of towers, roses, keys, and ka. These words and images start popping up in many of his other books, too.

** "The Dog Dies" was also used, just not as frequently as the other

** "I want to be my best", anyone?

** SHUT IT!!!

** There's virtually one per book. They include the Trout's sermon ("You were sick, but now you're well again, and there's work to do") in ''Timequake'', "And so on" in ''Breakfast of Champions'' (as well as the title itself and recounting penis lengths of every male character), "chronosynchastic infindibulum" in ''Literature/TheSirensOfTitan'', and the various Bokoninist lines in ''Literature/CatsCradle'' (eg. "Busy, busy, busy"). "So it goes" is from ''Literature/SlaughterhouseFive''.
