Because there are more important things in this world than what I want... and what I love.

Some of us sacrifice being with the people that we really care about so that we can go make a difference

This is a simple matter of self-preservation. When I couldn't kill you, I knew I had to control you.

Impatience is such a pathetic human trait. But I suppose that's to be expected from someone raised by such a primitive race

Knowledge is what fuels me.

Oh, please. If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would've been like Woodstock. I was actually at Woodstock. That was a weird gig. I fed off a flower person and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

I may be love's b***h, but at least I'm man enough to admit it

We like to talk big, vampires do. I'm going to destroy the world. That's just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You've got – the dog racing, Manchester United, and you've got people: billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along with a vision, with a real passion for destruction. Angel could pull it off. Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester bloody Square.

"I'm a vampire. I know somethin' about evil. You're not evil."

I know you'll never love me. I know that I'm a monster... but you treat me like a man, and that's...

Love isn't brains, children, it's blood; blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's
b***h, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."

"I was just thinking about children. Trying to imagine what it's like to try to raise them. Wondering how much of their character a family can mold, and how much is innate in the children themselves. Wondering if the evil in a family's history can be erased, or whether it always passes itself on to each new generation."

"Everything I tell you is a lie. Every question I ask you is a trick. You will find no truth in me."

"You will see, lieutenant. Valuing life—even your own—is a weakness. I am not weak."

Sometimes, things must be broken in order to be rebuilt.

"Life…death…the one is the same as the other."

"I don't know what frightened me more—the different ways he found to kill…or the joy they gave him."

"There will be no truce. There will be no surrender. I don't care how many die. An example will be made of the deserters.

"I do not do this to assist you. I do it because this one interests me."

"The forces who favor anarchy over structure have won. For what is this 'democracy' they speak of if not the absence of order? Of reason? Surely the strong should rule—for that is nature's way."

Darkness is a friend, an ally. Darkness allows us to understand others, to see what they value when they believe no one else is looking. It allows us to be honest with ourselves, to express those values that we would disavow in the light. The light blinds us. It is only in the dark that we see clearly, and there is a great dark hidden among these worlds."

What greater weapon is there than to turn an enemy to your cause? To use their own knowledge against them

"Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it."

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

If the hand endangers the limb—strike it off

"If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself… and weaken them. It is the internal struggles, when fought and won on their own, that yield the strongest rewards. You stole that struggle from them, cheapened it. If you care for others, then dispense with pity and sacrifice and recognize the value in letting them fight their own battles. And when they triumph, they will be even stronger for the victory.

"Yes…of pain he has learned much. Of knowledge, of teaching, he knows nothing."

"To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best."

"To have fallen so far and learned nothing—that is your failing."

"Equality is a lie…A myth to appease the masses. Simply look around and you will see the lie for what it is! There are those with power, those with the strength and will to lead. And there are those meant to follow—those incapable of anything but servitude and a meager, worthless existence.
"Equality is a perversion of the natural order!…It binds the strong to the weak. They become anchors that drag the exceptional down to mediocrity. Individuals destined and deserving of greatness have it denied them. They suffer for the sake of keeping them even with their inferiors.
"Equality is a chain, like obedience. Like fear or uncertainty or self doubt."

"I crave only power and purpose. With power, anything you want or need can simply be taken. With purpose, your life has meaning."

"Strength that is never touched by ruthlessness is touchingly irresponsible."

"Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face; tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you."

"You must begin by gaining power over yourself; then another; then a group, an order, a world, a species, a group of species… finally, the galaxy itself."

"Fear. Fear attracts the fearful… the strong… the weak… the innocent… the corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally."

"They're devious and deceitful. And most importantly, stupid."

Normal's not normal, if you're not normal.

We both know that my pride far surpasses my instinct for self preservation.

Truth begins in lies. Think about it.

god talks to him it would be arrogant of me to assume i'm higher than god.

faith? thats another word for ignorance isn't it? never understood how people could be so proud of believing in something with no proof at all, like thats a achievement

trust has to be earned, yiou can't trust somebody hiding in a closet

*about a faith healer*
he figures out whats going on in peoples life by watching listening deducing then he passes on advice from god so he can watch them jump, its a power trip. i fear for the human race, a teenager claims to hear the voice of god and people with advanced degrees are listening

isn't it interesting religious behaviour is so close to being crazy we can't tell them apart?

you talk to god your religious god talks to you your psychotic.

you got a problem with a call i make question the call don't make it personal

What i have a difficulty with is the whole concept of belief. Faith isn't based on logic and experience.

Can we stop focusing on my screw ups and focus on theirs? theirs' bigger

where is the miracle in delivering a crack addicted baby? and watching her mother abandon her because she needs another score
miracle of love? your over twice as likely to be killed by the one you love than by a stranger.

you can have all the faith you want in spirits and the after life and heaven and hell. But when it comes to this world don't be an idiot. because you can tell me you put your faith in god to get you through the day but when it comes time to cross the road i know you look both ways.

you live under the delusion that you can fix anything that isn't perfect... you don't love you need... what i am is what you need, i'm damaged.

this is not a game to me, no its actually more like we're dancing right now. lets get to the point. you don't like me and i am pretty sure won't like you no offense but I don't like anyone.

People choose the paths that grant them the greatest rewards for the least amount of effort.

Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is always the best

I can understand how the question would surprise you. I don't quite get how it would confuse you

Sometimes the best gift is the gift of never seeing you again

I've found that when you want to know the truth about someone, that someone is probably the last person you should ask.

It turns out your best judgment is not good enough. Here's an idea: next time, use mine.

As long as you're trying to be good, you can do whatever you want.
And as long as you're not trying, you can say whatever you want.

There is no I in "team." There is a me, though, if you jumble it up.

You took a chance, you did something great. You were wrong, but it was still great. You should feel great that it was great. You should feel like crap that it was wrong.

Work smart, not hard. That's my philosophy

I don't care what they do as long as my life isn't interrupted by pointless conversations like this one.

Pain makes us make bad decisions. Fear of pain is almost as big a motivator.

Idiots are fun – no wonder every village wants one.

The thing about being a good loser - it means you're still a loser.

Ideas are not soda cans. Recycling sucks. Give me something new and shiny.

You've reached a number that has been disconnected and is no longer in service. If you feel you have reached this recording in error, go with it. Hang up on three. One, two...

If our friendship means anything to you...
Do you know anything about me at all?

Why does he need that, because other people have that? Why does he need to be like other people?

Is this an intervention? You're a little late, since I'm not using drugs anymore. I am, however, still hooked on phonics.

You blow stuff up, makes my life miserable, makes me need to make your life miserable.

Oh, right, places to go; people to eat.

Because he was right. Which meant that nothing else mattered. They had to listen to him.

Everything is conditional. You just can't always anticipate the conditions.

Doing nothing is not a plan - it's specifically a lack of a plan!

Look, there's Jesus! Go tell the Romans.

Can we forget my vices, get back to my virtues?

Being different, you get used to people's idiocy. It still beats the hell out of actually being an idiot.

How can we make the sky green? How can we make the tall short? You cannot make the uninteresting interesting.

We are selfish based animals crawling across the earth, but 'cause we've got brains, if we try really hard, we can usually aspire to something that is less than pure evil.

If we were to care about every person suffering on the planet, life would shut down.

Yeah, he's also a human being, which means you shouldn't be trusting him to begin with.

I was curious. Since I'm not a cat, that's not dangerous.

words have a set meaning for a reason

you and i have found out that being normal sucks because we are freaks the advantage of being a freak is it makes you stronger

If you're playing catch in the living room and you break your mother's vase, you may as well keep playing catch because the vase is already broken.

I believe in statistics. Two hundred passengers on the plane. Ten should be gay, two should be with child and one should be incredibly annoying with an extra a** chromosome.

The only value of that trust is you can manipulate them.

the thing about emotional reaction is definationally irrational or stupid

Take what you can, give nothing back.

The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what
a man can't do.

Do us a favor... I know it's difficult for you... but please, stay here, and try not to do anything... stupid.


Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.


madness and brilliance, It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.

Ah-ha! So, we've established my proposal as sound in principle. Now, we're just haggling over price.


I am truly unhappy to have to tell you this, but through an unfortunate
and entirely unforeseeable series of circumstances that had nothing
whatsoever to do with me,

Why fight when you can negotiate?


My tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature informs me that you are troubled.


Can I condemn an innocent man, a friend, to a lifetime of servitude in my name while I roam free? Yes, yes I can I'm good with that.

Is this a dream? ... I thought not. If it were, there'd be rum.

Ah! A heading. Set sail in a... uh... a general... that way! direction.

Did no one come to save me just because they missed me?

Cuttlefish. Eh? Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends the
cuttlefish... flipper conories little sausages. Pen them up together,
and they will devour each other without a second thought... Human
nature, in'it? Ooor... fish nature... So yes... we could hold up here,
well-provisioned and well-armed, and half of us would be dead within
the month! Which seems grim to me any way you slice it

That's just maddingly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?

Well that's even more than less than unhelpful.

We must fight, to run away!


pestilent, traitorous, cow-hearted, yeasty codpiece

World's still the same. There's just less in it.


I leave you people alone for just a minute look what happens, everything's gone to pot!

Thank goodness for that, 'cause if I wasn't this would probably never work.

Close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream. That's how I get by.


have you noticed something? Or rather, have you noticed something that's not there to be noticed?

If I may lend a machete to your intellectual thicket.


My hands are clean in this

Think like me. It will come to you.

Where did i get it? From a man who heard it from a man who got it from a man who swears on
pain of death that it's genuine. I'd stake my reputation on it.

To follow the path,
Look to the master,
Follow the master,
Walk with the master,
See through the master,
Become the master.

until you understand how the enemy thinks so well that you can pass for one of his own you have no hope of ever controlling him

You can not gain anything without first giving something of equal or greater value. That is the only truth in life.

if i were the rain that binds together the earth and the sky, whom in all eternity will never mingle, would I be able to bind two hearts together?

There is nothing in this world that is truly "perfect". Though it may be a rather large cliché, it is still the truth. It is the ordinary people who look up to "perfection" as an ideal and seek after it. But in truth, what is this idea of "perfection" truly worth? Nothing. Not a single thing. I detest "perfection". To be "perfect" is to be unable to improve any further. There would be no scope for "creation", not a single gap in one's knowledge or one's ability. Do you see now? To true scientists like you and I, "Perfection" is tantamount to "despair". We aspire to reach greater levels of brilliance than ever before, but never, NEVER, to reach perfection. That is the paradox through which we scientists must struggle. Indeed, it is our duty to find pleasure in that struggle. In other words, the second you allowed yourself to spout a ridiculous word like "perfect", in truth, you had already been defeated. That is if you wish to be treated as a scientist.

The more complex a person, the weaker they are.

To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.

In heaven all the interesting people are missing.

Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.

Extinction is a way of nature. Weaker species are replaced by stronger ones."


"When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity." -Dale Carnegie

Is there a pessimism of strength? An intellectual inclination for what in existence is hard, dreadful, evil, problematic, emerging from what is healthy, from overflowing well being, from living existence to the full? Is there perhaps a way of suffering from the very fullness of life? A tempting courage of the keenest sight which demands what is terrible as the enemy, the worthy enemy, against which it can test its power, from which it wants to learn what “to fear” means?

even science itself, our science — indeed, what does all science in general mean considered as a symptom of life? What is the point of all that science and, even more serious, where did it come from? What about that? Is scientific scholarship perhaps only a fear and an excuse in the face of pessimism? A delicate self-defence against — the Truth? And speaking morally, something like cowardice and falsehood? Speaking unmorally, a clever trick?

that contradictory desire stem from, which appears earlier than the desire for beauty, namely, the desire for the ugly, the good strong willing of the ancient Hellenes for pessimism, for tragic myth, for pictures of everything fearful, evil, enigmatic, destructive, and fateful as the basis of existence?1 Where then must tragedy have come from? Perhaps out of joy, out of power, out of overflowing health, out of overwhelming fullness?

And, on the other hand, what if, to turn the issue around, it was precisely during the period of their dissolution and weakness that the Greeks became constantly more optimistic, more superficial, more hypocritical, and with a greater lust for logic and rational understanding of the world, as well as “more cheerful” and “more scientific”? What's this? In spite of all “modern ideas” and the prejudices of democratic taste, could the victory of optimism, the developing hegemony of reasonableness, of practical and theoretical utilitarianism, as well as democracy itself, which occurs in the same period, perhaps be a symptom of failing power, of approaching old age, of physiological exhaustion, rather than pessimism? Was Epicurus an optimist — precisely because he was suffering?

there is nothing which stands in greater opposition to the purely aesthetic interpretation and justification of the world, as it is taught in this book, than Christian doctrine, which is and wishes to be merely moralistic and which, with its absolute standards, beginning, for example, with its truthfulness of God, relegates art, every art, to the realm of lies — in other words, which denies art, condemns it, and passes sentence on it.

I always perceived also something hostile to life, the wrathful, vengeful aversion to life itself; for all life rests on appearance, art, illusion, optics, the need for perspective and for error. Christianity was from the start essentially and thoroughly life’s disgust and weariness with life, which only dressed itself up with, only hid itself in, only decorated itself with the belief in an “other” or “better” life

the absolute desire of Christianity to allow only moral values to count, has always seemed to me the most dangerous and most eerie form of all possible manifestations of a “Will to Destruction,” at least a sign of the deepest illness, weariness, bad temper, exhaustion, and impoverishment in living — for in the eyes of morality (and particularly Christian morality, that is, absolute morality) life must be seen as constantly and inevitably wrong, because life is something essentially amoral — hence, pressed down under the weight of contempt and eternal No's, life must finally be experienced as something not worth desiring, as something inherently worthless.

what about morality itself? Might not morality be a “desire for the denial of life,” a secret instinct for destruction, a principle of decay, diminution, slander, a beginning of the end? And thus, the danger of dangers?

the world can be a beautiful place, you just have to know how to look at it

what color is this gun? ~well its a gray gun a gray gun.~ a ray gun?~ a gray gun, Lucas! its a gray gun! that's right, its gray but isn't it possible that my idea of gray and your idea of gray might differ? it all has to do with your perception.

conscience is just the fear of getting caught

all guilt is relative, loyalty counts, and never let your conscience be your guide

there are only two roads in this world, and if your listening to anyone but me your on the wrong one.

won't that be cozy just the two of you...in intensive care

no body makes anyone do anything they didn't want to already do in the first place

just remember a good loser is still a loser

I only know a snowflake cannot exist in a storm of fire
Lightning flashes, sparks shower, in one blink of your eyes you've mis-seen.
I cannot teach you what you already know.
Your journey is only begun.
Many roads lead to the great path. Only the willing will find their way.
There is really only one thing we can ever truly control. Whether we are good or evil.
It is we who must seek the Truth of the universe in order to encheve enlightenment
Here is everwhere you are
out no barriers between you and where you are.
When Mind is enlightened, spirit is freed, the body matters not
The Sun is warm wind is wild, grass is green along shores here no bulls can hide
There is a child inside of us all
Those who seek oneness find all that they seek
within you is a being whose heart only seeks darkness
words cannot express things
speech cannot convey the spirit
swayed by words one is lost
one cannot carry darkness on the great path, you cannot start the journy with it inside you
When the mind is freed the body is no longer required
because it is clear it takes a longer time to realise it

----------------------------
If you immediately know the candle light is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

Part a
I think I’ve figured it out. If you immediately know candlelight is fire (i.e. without
thinking about it), then the meal was cooked long ago (i.e. you had already decided the truth).
If you immediately know evolution is false, without looking at the facts or thinking about it,
then you’ve closed your mind to any alternatives. In this case, you’ve closed your mind to ascenscion.)

Part b
I thought it meant that if you're sure about something then it has already determined the future so your fate is set in stone.

"In my experience devils
very rarely wear horns
and carry pitchforks." -Tyr

"Sometimes the situation requires that
we hold the hand of our enemy.
The difficult part is not letting them see you
while you use the other hand to draw the knife." -Tyr

if we do not live another day say this over our pyre they died like high guard lancers with their faces to the fire.

The soul is larger than the sky, deeper than the ocean, or the abysmal dark of the unfathomed center

we are not the masks we wear. but if we don them, do we not become them

Life? Life's pretty much a knife-fight in a dirt-floored bar: and if they get you down you best get back up.

Tyr: What would you like, Jaguar?
Charlemagne: The usual: Hundreds of grandchildren, utter domination of known space, and the pleasure of hearing that all my enemies have died in terrible, highly improbable accidents that cannot be connected to me. And you?
Tyr: [laughing] The usual.

Blink and it's gone, a moment, a breath, a dance of the mayflies. Just enough... for a lifetime.

the true quarry of any great adventurer is the undiscovered territory of their own soul.

Duty and law are he foundation on which civilizations stands. they must not fall for when they fo, they take everything with them.


The Heavens burned, the stars
cried out
And under the ashes of infinity,
Hope, scarred and bleeding,
breathed its last.

The enemy of my enemy
is still my enemy.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Which is a problem.
If you are powerless.

Beneath knowing, understanding
Beneath understanding, seeing
Beneath seeing, recognizing
Beneath recognizing, knowing

A soldier's first battlefield
is always his own mind


Welcome twilight.
Welcome blackness.
Welcome inky night.
Only in darkness
Can I see your soul.

The fearful sit
in a clutch with their worries,
Whilst one man alone
faces the Furies.

The loyal heart
has hidden treasures.
In secrets kept,
In silence sealed.

Walk without footprints.
Breathe without breath.
Our lives leave no trace

It matters little how we die,
so long as we die better men than we
imagined we could be --
and no worse than we feared.

Any fool can be honest,
for it is only what he knows.
A wise man is aware of
when to share the truth.


Man is his own star.
His acts are his angels, good or ill
While his fatal shadows walk
Silently beside him.

In the middle of the fight we knew:
They had come at us like legends.
One hundred up and one hundred down.

The following statement is false:
The previous statement is true.
Welcome to our corner of the universe

Conceal nothing.
And watch the fools search forever.

"Never underestimate the power of words." -Tyr

"That's why I always assume I'm walking into an ambush. Prevents unpleasant surprises"
-Tyr

"Unpredictability is the mark of a thoughtful soldier."
-Tyr

Well, we might let God sort them out, but someone told me he was dead.

here is a price for freedom, your every drop of courage, ounce of pain pint of blood paid in advance

you can't run from death forever, but you can make the b*****d work for it.

the soul of the nietzschean is this: we are arrogant we are vain we are manipulative, we are selfish and we love our children

to the question of life after death: not whether such a thing exists but... that manner of life?


Here's everything I know about war:
somebody wins, somebody loses,
and nothing is ever the same again.


all that will be left is me cockroaches and hunt
I had an epiphany like that once. Then I mercilessly beat someone until it went away

We all hear the twin masks of emotion,
Happy or sad, haunted or hunted,
You choose the mask, you choose the risk.
You choose your own poison.

A person doesn't have to be perfect to be exactly what you need.

Oh, my God! I care so little, I almost passed out!

Oh, my God! I just gagged and vomited at the same time. I gavomited.

When I crush a person's spirit, I like to use a combination of intimidation and degradation.

"I prefer to create an environment in which the subjects end up crushing themselves. "

Now, I know you say you love us all equally. But you don't, do ya? I'm onto you, Big Man.

The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body.
Do you understand the second you look in the mirror and you're happy with what you see, baby, you just lost the battle.

How about a russian roulette booth? And here's the kicker, we put bullets in all the chambers, that way *everybody* wins!

So what you're saying is you have a problem that is totally your problem but you'd like to find a way to make that problem my problem, but here's the problem, newbie, it ain't my problem.

I don't want to hear anything out of that man's mouth other than Oh no, I'm dying, there's a bright light, but wait a minute, this is wrong, I'm in hell! Hitler, Musollini... Captain Kangaroo? That's not right.

Relationships don't work they way they do on television and in the movies. Will they? Won't they? And then they finally do, and they're happy forever. Gimme a break. Nine out of ten of them end because they weren't right for each other to begin with, and half of the ones who get married get divorced anyway, and I'm telling you right now, through all this stuff I have not become a cynic. I haven't. Yes, I do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing chocolate covered candies and, y'know, in some cultures, a chicken. You can call me a sucker, I don't care, because I do believe in it. Bottom line: it's couples who are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but the big difference is they don't let it take them down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time. If it's right, and they're real lucky, one of them will say something.

the only way you could be less productive right now is if you were in fact the wall in which you're leaning against, of course, then you would be providing some jackass with a wall on which to lean against and reflect on what a jackass he truly is. I know, here it's a conundrum, but don't you worry about it, I'll tackle that one right upstairs. In the meantime, you could at least pretend to be doing some work,

Every one of our parents does considerable emotional damage, and from what I've heard, it just might be the best part of being a parent. Now, if some guy ever does put a ring on your finger and you're lucky enough to pop out a youngster, I'm sure you'll understand. But for now, believe me when I tell you I wouldn't care if this was the first time you ever met your daddy. Because, in reality... well, he could have done a much, much worse job.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. b*****d-coated bastards with b*****d fillings. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

Life's simple: kill or be killed, don't get involved and always finish the job. A survivor's code, my code, and it all sounds great until the day you find yourself confronted by a choice. A choice to make a difference, to help someone, or to walk away and save yourself.

The things you own end up owning you.

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

Only after disaster can we be resurrected.

Reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the importance of material possessions.

This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler.

If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose? We're the middle children of history, we have no special purpose or place, and unless we get God's attention, we have no hope of damnation or redemption. Which is worse, hell or nothing? Burn the museums, wipe your a** with the Mona Lisa. This way, at least God will know your name.

You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your ******** khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

Have you the brain worms?

Let us rain some doom down upon the heads of our doomed enemies.

Dib: You can't make me look! I'll just shut my eyes.
Zim: Oh, you'll open them. You have to breath sometime.
Dib: No, I - Wait... What do eyes have to do with breathing?

[Zim's telescope is malfunctioning]
Zim: Gir! Come to the observatory!
[Gir's head pops out of ceiling]
Gir: Yeees?
Zim: What have you done to the telescope?
Gir: Nothin'...
Zim: You haven't touched it? Something is broken and it's not your fault?
Gir: I know, I'm scared too!

I've had enough of your nonsense from your smelly mouth filled with... corn!

Zim: My Tallest! My Tallest! Hey! Hey My Tallest! My Tallest? My Tallest! Hey! Hey! Hey! My Taaaaaaallist! My Tallest? My Tallest! Hey! Hey My Tallest! My Tallest? It's me! My Tallest? My Tallest!
Almighty Tallest Red: I was waiting to see when you would shut up on your own, but it's been three hours, Zim. THREE HOURS! What do you want?
Zim: Well, I noticed you're moving closer to the Earth than *ever* before!
Almighty Tallest Red: How would you know that?
Zim: Oh I know all kinds of theings about you. Pretty creepy, huh? Anyhow, I was...
Almighty Tallest Purple: Hey!... That *is* creepy! You're creepy, Zim.

Zim: I put a tracking device on you.
Dib: You did? Where is it?
[GIR is grabbing the back of his head]
Gir: Your head smells like a puppy!

i like corn

Gir: I'm gonna roll around on the floor for a while. KAY?

Gir: [Zim's compass magnetically sticks to Gir] Aww, it likes me.

I'm fed up saving your a**. I'm amazed you ever got past puberty.

"I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts."

kain: From the shards of tattered dreams i rose, unwilling. tossed upon tides of pain which flowed and ebbed, leaving me searingly awake, and more revoltingly alive!'


kain: But suppose you throw a coin enough times...
...suppose one day, it lands on its edge.


Raziel: Tumbling burning with white hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain relentless agony, time ceased to exist, only this torture and a deepened hatred for the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell. An eternity passed and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The decent had destroyed me yet I lived.

kain: Strange how one's life casts a shadow far beyond one's own understanding.

kain: Hate me, but do it honestly

kain: I have seen the beginning and the end of our story, however - and the tale is crude and ill-conceived. We must rewrite the ending of it, you and I.

Kain: At last, the masks had fallen away. The strings of the puppets had become visible, and the hands of the prime mover exposed. Most ironic of all was the last gift Raziel had given me; more powerful than the sword that now held his soul, more acute even than the vision his sacrifice had accorded me; the first bitter taste of that terrible illusion: hope."

Kain: No. I had faith in you, in your ability to hate- in your self righteous indignation

Kain: [talking about the Pillars] How strange to see this place long before my birth... centuries before the corruption set in that would poison the land and put me on the treachous path i still followed. In the future, these edifices would be condemned to darkness and decay. I would cause their fall and bulid my empire upon their ruins. Was it still possible that with the right knowledge, the right moves, i might one day see Nosgoth restored, the Pillars pure once more? My answer, according to Moebius, lay somewhere to the west of this place. I could restore the world, perhaps, but never again could i give Nosgoth back her innocence.

Kain: The winds carried screams from the west... I could not help but smile. Someone in this world was suffering more than me."

sarafan lord "Bathe them in fire. Let them learn, as they writhe in the flames and their bones dissolve, the futility of their actions.

Kain: Revulsion fought with rapture, and yet beneath the horror lay desire. Hunger, insistent and urgent, relentlessly demanding more

kain: Through the twisted plots and tangled schemes, truth emerged.

kain: Our futures are predestined
We each play out the parts fate has written for us.
Free will is an illusion.

I'm a thief, chere, jus' doin' what comes natural!

There is no pain greather than this; not the cut of a jagged-edged dagger nor the fire of a dragon's breath. Nothing burns in your heart like the emptiness of losing something, someone, before you truly have learned of its value. - Robert Salvatore

"De omnibus dubitandum" (Everything should be questioned - Karl Marx)
"Oderunt dum Metuant" (Let them hate, so long as they fear (Caligula, quoting an earlier Latin author)
aut viam inveniam aut faciam
I will either find a way or make one.

The soul sheds light, and death is its shadow.When the light dims, life and death embrace. - Nantuko teaching.

Feel the burn of the mists. master them. they will devour your enemies.

Getting people to do what you want is merely a matter of telling them what they want to hear.

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn’t understand the assignment.
I told them they didn’t understand life."
— John Lennon

When Dragoons meet, blood doth flow and as they leave, time doth slow.

Those who flaunt their power disappear when the truly powerful appear.

Warping the minds of men and shepherding the masses has always been your church's domain. You lure sheep with empty miracles and a dead god.

It's awful when a person loses their life. What had taken years to put together was destroyed in one moment.

There are two sides to every coin. Love and hate. Life and death. They are all the same.

Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn into noble ambition, young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth..

Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings. they did it by killing everyone who opposed them

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

Some people say “If you can’t beat them, join them”. I say “If you can’t beat them, beat them”, because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

I always take life with a grain of salt, …plus a slice of lemon, …and a shot of tequila.

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

People are ignorant little thorns cutting into one another
