[Marril]

"Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It
depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The
person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in.
He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong
sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own
pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within
himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man."
- From "Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib", by the Princess Irulan

--

"Life...is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless,
perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable,
because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're
stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly
wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a
while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an english toffee, but
they're gone too fast, and the taste is...fleeting. So you end up
with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and
teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat
those, all you've got left is an empty box filled with useless
brown paper wrappers."
- The Cigarette Smoking Man, X-Files: Musings of a CSM

--

"You have conquered, and I yield. Yet, henceforward, art thou also dead --
dead to the World, to Heaven, and to Hope! In me didst thou exist -- and, in
my death, see by this image, which is thine own, how utterly though hast murdered
thyself."
-Edgar Allen Poe

--

"You told me why you hate magic. You never asked why I hate the church. I'll tell
you why. It's because you're closed-minded, intolerant, dogmatic, and most of all,
you're amateurs."
-Jeff Grubb, The Gathering Dark

--

"I am not ressurected through my own power. I am ressurected
through human desires. For power, they steal and to them power
becomes justice. That's the reason I'm here. Do you not
have any desires? You humans develop according to desire, and
come to me after losing your faith. Can you really call me
evil?"
- Count Dracula

--

"Shouldn't a God be above those he oversees? To be omniscient
and omnipotent? Even a good God distances himself from those
he protects, and strikes down upon them with his wrath when
they displease him. Such is the nature of a God. Is it not
natural that I do the same thing?"
- Kesnick Vaspleck

--

"It is better to take what does not belong to you, rather than to leave
it lying there neglected."
- Mark Twain
