Douglas Adams
- Deadly Hatred
If it was an emotion, it was a totally emotionless one. It was hatred, implacable hatred. It was cold, not like ice is cold, but like a wall is cold. It was impersonal, not like a randomly flung fist in a crowd is impersonal, but like a computer-issued parking summons is impersonal. And it was deadly, again, not like a bullet or a knife is deadly, but like a brick wall across an expressway is deadly.
H. P. Lovecraft
- Excerpt from "The Festival"
Out of the unimaginable blackness beyond the gangrenous glare of that cold flame, out of the Tartarean leagues through which that oily river rolled uncanny, unheard, and unsuspected, there flopped rhythmically a horde of tame, trained, hybrid winged things that no sound eye could ever wholly grasp, nor sound brain ever wholly remember. They were not altogether crows, nor moles, nor buzzards, nor ants, nor vampire bats, nor decomposed human beings; but something I cannot and must not recall.
Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
- Angry Zuko
For so long, I thought that if my dad accepted me, I'd be happy. I'm back home now. My dad talks to me. He even thinks I'm a hero. Everything should be perfect, right? I should be happy now, but I'm not. I'm angrier than ever and I don't know why!

- I Wished He Cheated
The other day, I was sitting on my bed. I was thinking, intensely about my recent breakup. Trying to find every single reason why he would do that, even after him explaining. His reasoning made sense, I guess that made it hurt more. I wished he had cheated, because I wanted a reason to hate him. I wanted a reason to be mad at him for breaking up with me. But he didn't, he didn't cheat, he told me the truth. I just have to learn to accept what it is.

- Truth hurts but lie kills
I'm telling you, it is okay to tell me the truth and hurt me a thousand ways, rather than to lie and hurt me a million more. Trust strengthens with every necessary pain but weakens with unnecessary ones. You will be hurt no matter who you are with; you just need to know for whom the pain is worth it.
Our Flag Means Death
What we're about to do will be perilous! Very perilous! Some of us won't be coming back. Others may be wounded. Still others may come back looking totally fine... but in reality, be mentally devastated by what they've witnessed.
Phoebe Bridgers
- Motion Sickness song
I'll be glad that I made it out. And, sorry that it all went down like it did. I have emotional motion sickness, somebody roll the windows down. There are no words in the English language, I could scream to drown you out.
Typer
- Take a break.
Recently, I have been struggling to increase my typing score and have felt frustrated and defeated. In my frustration, I decided to stop typing all together and find other hobbies until I got my motivation back. To my surprise, when I returned to typing, I found that I'm much faster, and my accuracy was boosted too. In conclusion, if you feel stuck, take a break, and then come back. There is no shame in it.

- Living
When you stop living your life based on what others think of you real life begins. At that moment, you will finally see the door of self acceptance opened.

The next move is obvious. We can launch an RT-2PM2 Topol-M cold-launched three-stage solid-propellant silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile to attack black's remaining pieces.
Solid Snake
A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own. Find something to believe in, and find it for yourself. When you do, pass it on to the future.

- Meat Mountain
It was three hours past midnight when the words Meat Mountain gripped me, the fetus of a twisted mind. Bread, lettuce, beef, chicken, beef - all together in a manic crescendo of processed meats. When I was done, I wept. God would not forgive me.
Emily B
- the single life
I've been single for 6 years which is crazy to think about. I do enjoy being single, but when my friends who are in serious relationships mention their significant others all the time, I feel lonely. I question why I haven't found anyone yet, but then I realize, I rather people question why I'm still single rather than question why I'm with someone who I settled for. And now I will be single for as long as it takes.

- Milgram and Morality
Based on what we learned in the Milgram experiment, nothing turns a person into a sociopath quite like having a job and a boss to give orders and take responsibility. Morality dictates when to use violence. Morality is it's own kind of violence.
Kim Namjoon
- Wild Flower
Idling repeats, memories turning vicious. Lying in a field, I set my sights onto the skies. Now I can't remember what I wanted so badly. I trusted I was happy, now a mere memory. Yeah, I've been goin', no matter what's in front. No matter what it may be. Memories of holding onto dawn's edge and spitting things out. Society's all for the loudest voice, and here I am, still speaking silence. It's an aside, a boat in full bloom, to face all the prejudice and misunderstandings.
Jane Austen
- Northanger Abbey...Catherine's thoughts
Little as Catherine was in the habit of judging for herself, and unfixed as were her general notions of what men ought to be, she could not entirely repress a doubt, while she bore with the effusions of his endless conceit, of his being altogether completely agreeable...

- Farquaad's Speech
That champion shall have the honor, no, no, the privilege to go forth and rescue the lovely Princess Fiona from the fiery keep of the dragon. If for any reason the winner is unsuccessful, the first runner-up will take his place and so on and so forth. Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make. Let the tournament begin!
Michael Moorcock
- Elric's Appearance
It is the colour of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the long hair which flows below his shoulders is milk-white. From the tapering, beautiful head stare two slanting eyes, crimson and moody, and from the loose sleeves of his yellow gown emerge two slender hands, also the colour of bone, resting on each arm of a seat which has been carved from a single, massive ruby.
Bojack Horseman
- Downer Ending
And I don't... actually even care what the world thinks about me anymore. I just hated reading that book because I hated feeling like that's how you saw me. Because I guess you know me better than anybody, if you think that. Um, I-I guess my question is do you... do you think it's too late for me?

- Episode 597 of The Viall Files
All dating is trying to find compatibility, and if you're not compatible, that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that person; it also doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. You don't need to change yourself to try to make yourself more compatible with that person and vice versa; you should say, "We don't have enough compatibilities, and that's okay, and I wish you all the best, but this is not going in the direction that we need to do."
