"As my mind headed down that path, it was easy to recognize that there were so many times in my life when others defined who I was and clouded the idea of who I truly was or who I truly could be. The romantic relationships prior to Veronica or even during the early days of our relationship: trying to impress; struggling to impress; trying to walk that fine line between horniness and respect and the mutual respect that makes you horny; realizing that someone isn’t right and struggling with those thoughts because was it me or was it her and not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings or be hurt; and trying to break things up while trying to balance that sense of truth, what’s better for me, what’s better for her, not knowing what’s better for either one of us and still feeling horny."

“People in Omelas could have a booming economy by making a sort of tortured child zoo. The terms of the pact stated in the story allow for it: The child cannot be saved without destroying Omelas, but many other things are fair game. So the best course of action its exploiting him or her to the maximum to make the city even more prosperous.” -Walter, while discussing The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas with a  friend. 

He is the protagonist of the story in my signature.

Quote:When the wolf burst from his cover the magic critters reacted slower than any animal that was used to fearing for its life.

When they finally did see what was happening, Hyde had already killed seven, and their bunny legs could not start racing fast enough. He caught another dozen due to how their stress made their legs fail to gain purchase, and by then he had meals for days.

The stressed animals burrowed down in their too shallow homes which they had dug more out of inherited instinct than any real sense for preservation; and watched the monster stalking their garden of Eden.

Hyde did not know it, but he was feeling like a dragon.

A much less serious quote (Though I guess its more of a interaction but I'll cut it down into a quote from), that's yet to be released chapter but it will be coming up and its a member of a series of burns from Alex to David.

Quote:Edward - “Is he going to become one of your new body pillow candidates?”

David - “No, no, no! Platonic role models! Remember? And anyway, what happened to professionality on the bridge?”
Alex - “It went out the airlocks when you came in.”

Not sure if this counts as a quote, since contextually it was a written quote, but I'll add it all the same:

"Let this tale be marked eternal in rock and stone. A reminder for all history of the greatness that is our King.

Once this world we know was naught but endless sea, ruled over by mighty beast, the Igryss.

By the Máni’s hand, struck Heart and felled Igryss.

As the Abyss receded, land split sea across Ashar.

Though Heart was lost, Igryss, too great to perish, was reborn in Abyss to lesser forms. The great beast gave forth to many, the Children of the Abyss.
Aeons pass, and mortals came to walk the earth.

One of the Magus, High Order of the Arcane, sought audience with these Children. He promised service in exchange for their power. 
The Children, though as clever as their forebear, did not perceive malice in his words. They agreed, binding him to their service. 
His sole task: seek out the Heart, lost and buried deep beneath Ashar.

Decades passed as he searched. Over time, the Magus gained knowledge and power. A city formed above as the Magus searched.
The Children, sated by frequent sacrifice thanks to the founding city, awaited the day the Heart was found.

But they were deceived.

The Magus, cunning as he was, watched and waited.

Upon finding Heart, he made his move. He betrayed the Children, for in all their cunning, they did not consider the power the Heart might give to mortal hands. 
Now they too are but servants of his grand design.

All hail the Great Magus, founder of our city.

All hail our King, once and forevermore.

All hail Lendrig the Traitor, Lord of the Abyss."

Life is too short to be spent on overthinking and worrying about everything, and getting depressed at the unfairness of the world. Unless you are at my age, where you see the end of the road. Then it is called contemplating and is a sign of wisdom.’ - Ser Levi, a certain someone's slightly crazy teacher.

One-liner: "He has literally let himself be kidnapped before because he felt like it..." Fennec on the Other.

Multi-liner with context: Sia, acutely remembering her Boss's history after he was called a pacifist for not killing.
Quote:Memories and events of times long past, the legends told, and the terror of those that realized too late that there are some fates that are worse than death. That the calloused, uncaring left hand of fate could both cure and curse with the same action.
