a really fucking long list
my little devils
“do i really look like a guy with a plan? you know what i am? i'm a dog chasing cars. i wouldn't know what to do with one if i caught it! you know, i just... do things.”
“who do you think i am-- the riddler? this is no game i play! this is obsession! i do what i do because of what fate has made me-- not because i enjoy "matching wits" with the batman! nor do i particularly care to make his life hell-- as the joker does! fate has cursed me with duality-- and i decided long ago that it is my ugly, evil side which dominates! similarly, batman's fate-given destiny is to oppose evil and ugliness. i act and he reacts! let him come! i never run!”
“i can open any door anywhere with a few tiny lines of computer code. no such thing as a private bank account now, they’re all mine. no such thing as secrecy. i own secrecy. nuclear codes. i could blow up nato in alphabetical order. in a world of locked rooms, the man with the key is king, and honey, you should see me in a crown.”
“nothing happened to me. i happened. you can't reduce me to a set of influences.”
“i am cersei of house lannister, a lion of the rock, the rightful queen of these seven kingdoms, trueborn daughter of tywin lannister. and hair grows back.”
“you declared war when you came after my family and for that, i will make you suffer as only i can. after all, i am my mother's son.”
“i was looking out for myself. i will always look out for myself. if you're smart, you'll do the same.”
“i can make things move without touching them. i can make animals do what i want them to do without training them. i can make bad things happen to people who annoy me. i can make them hurt, if i want to...”
“potter, you cannot win against me! i was and am the dark lord's most loyal servant. i learned the dark arts from him, and i know spells of such power that you, pathetic little boy, can never hope to compete!”
“if i am an angel, paint me with black wings.”
“and i love to hear you say it, louis. i need to hear you say it. i don't think anyone will ever say it quite like you do. come on, say it again. i'm a perfect devil. tell me how bad i am. it makes me feel so good!”
“as for the end of the universe... i say let it come as it will, in ice, fire, or darkness. what did the universe ever do for me that i should mind its welfare?”
“"evil"? come on, how reductive. i suppose "me, evil" means "you, good". bullshit. i mean, it's true that i've never given a second thought to anyone that i've let die, but i take no pleasure in it... like a truly evil man would. i'm merely... removing nuisances. public service, really. but you... i believe for the first time, i will rather enjoy watching you die. ”
“i love my unofficial title, precisely because i have earned it.”
“there's a passage i got memorized. ezekiel 25:17. "the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. and i will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. and you will know i am the lord when i lay my vengeance upon you." now... i been sayin' that shit for years. and if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. you'd be dead right now. i never gave much thought to what it meant. i just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before i popped a cap in his ass. but i saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. see, now i'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. and i'm the righteous man. and mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. or it could mean you're the righteous man and i'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. and i'd like that. but that shit ain't the truth. the truth is you're the weak. and i'm the tyranny of evil men. but i'm tryin', ringo. i'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.”
“ready to comply.”
“no, no! don't you touch that, little lamb. don't touch my knife, that makes me mad. that makes me very, very mad.”
“like god, you mean? that might be pleasurable in its own way, but unfortunately i'm not into being an umpire or a referee, as i can't genuinely enjoy the game unless i'm part of it. and i love this game that people call "life" from the bottom of my heart. that's why i'd like to continue to participate in it as a player, forever and ever.”
“you just have to fight for yourself; no one's going to save you. that's just life, right?”
“that's when i tossed a coin. if it came up heads, i'd take on sakamochi... if the coin came up tails, i decided i'd take part in the game.”
“yeah, this isn’t like me... don’t think about it. keep up the act. don’t become distraught. and when you open your eyes again, just laugh it all away!”
“i'm the "mockingbird", sakigami toto. call me toto. treat me kindly, okay?”
“it's not just the notebook i'm after. i wanna eliminate my competition. i will be the best. i don't care what it takes.”
“hear this. i'm not only kira, but i'm also god of the new world.”
“electricity doesn't hurt me. it was part of my training against torture. but when i say it doesn't hurt me, that means i can bear it. nevertheless, i feel the pain.”
“my greatest pleasure comes when people like you buckle to their knees and i look down upon their disbelieving faces as their plans fail. ♥”
“i'm its head, and you're the legs. the legs do what the head says. but there will be times when the legs are more important than the head. if i die, someone else will take over. my orders are of utmost priority. my life is not. be sure to make the right decision. i'm only a part of the spider. what's important is the survival of the whole, not the individual.”
“this will be my ultimate piece of art. i'll explode. i shall die and become art itself! this will be like no explosion before it, and it will leave a scar upon the earth unlike anything else. then, my art will receive the admiration it's always deserved! tremble! be afraid! recoil in despair! cower in awe! and cry your heart out, because my art... is an explosion!”
“i want to obtain all the techniques and gain a true understanding of everything in this world. the first one to mix blue and yellow called the new colour "green". i want to do something similar to that. if blue is the chakra, then yellow is the seal, and green is the technique... just as there is no end to the variety of colours, there are so many thousands... tens of thousands of techniques in the world as well. but in order to obtain every possible technique and truth, it would require an eternity. only one who understands everything after spending such time on this can be fittingly called the ultimate being.”
“once drowned in the depths of darkness, you lose sight of light. when that light has dispersed there is no return. my light has died out long ago and so there's nothing back for me to go back, or look forward to i shall continue to indulge myself in this darkness until it completely consumes me, then i will be nothing but an empty course left on this cold and cruel world to rot.”
“i don't have sob stories like all of you. i could sit here and complain how our mom liked zuko more than me, but i don't really care. my own mother... thought i was a monster... she was right, of course, but it still hurt.”

fight like a girl
“she who had been arya of house stark, arya underfoot, arya horseface. she had been arry and weasel too, and squab and salty, nan the cupbearer, a grey mouse, a sheep, the ghost of harrenhal... but not for true, not in her heart of hearts. in there she was arya of winterfell, the daughter of lord eddard stark and lady catelyn, who had once had brothers named robb and bran and rickon, a sister named sransa, a direwolf called nymeria, a half brother named jon snow. in there she was someone.”
“i am not your little princess. i am daenerys stormborn of the blood of old valyria and i will take what is mine, with fire and blood.”
“i don't want to be a queen. i want to be the queen.”
“the giants i’ve seen, the children i’ve heard tell of, and the white walkers...”
“don't worry. you're just as sane as i am”
“but this is my truth, i who am morgaine tell you these things, morgaine who was in later days called morgan le fay.”
“i'm gonna make them cry all right. make em' cry like they going through a haunted house! a haunted house called life!”
“prayers are for the weak. i'll stick to beating your ass in court.”
“he doesn't love me. but here's the thing: i love me. so i'm done”
“i'm a cheater, yes. and a slut and a bad person and now a murderer. judge me if you want. just do it while we're carrying the damn body!”
“it's about what i did. and you know what? i did a fucking great job. debbie is class president! she is on debate team, going to nationals. lip, he's top of his class. he set the curve! ian was promoted in rotc, and he tested out of english! and carl made something blow up for his science fair! and you know what? they did it all, no thanks to you, because you weren't here! ”
“i take everything i'm feeling, everything that matters to me... i push all of it into my fist, and i fight for it.”
“just so you know, if i found out you've done something to make my mate cry while i've been in hospital, i'm gonna do something to make you cry.”
“she's our friend and she's crazy! you come back here and she'll kill you! you hear me? she'll kill you, you sons of bitches!”
“too many guys think i'm a concept or i complete them or i'm going to make them alive, but i'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. don't assign me yours.”
“salander was the woman who hated men who hate women.”
“this is my life... to go on singing like this... that is the reason why i was born. just as i was saved... i'll save someone else like this. i finally found it.”
“you fellas know full well what this badass mother can do!”
“after 50 years of lying through my teeth, i can tell whether someone's telling the truth.”
“i'll chase you to the ends of the world, and kill you.”
“i was the only one who got an a ranking for the public safety bureau. there were more than 500 students and i was the only one. so i thought that there must have been something that only i could do at the bureau. if i went there, i thought i could find my purpose in life... i thought i'd be able to find out why i was born here and now!”
“i used to always cry and give up... i made many wrong turns... but you... you helped me find the right path... i always chased after you... i wanted to catch up to you... i wanted to walk beside you all the time... i just wanted to be with you... you changed me! your smile is what saved me! that is why i'm not afraid to die protecting you! because... i love you...”
“although i am a descendant of the first hokage, it's true that i don't know how to use wood release. and compared to him, who was able to use medical ninjutsu without even making seals, it's true that my own ninjutsu is nothing to brag about. and it's true that i'm a woman... but i'm definitely not a weak woman... what i inherited from my grandfather isn't just simple 'power'. my true strength comes from that which was passed down from the first to each generation afterwards... don't underestimate the will of fire!”
“i am strong. stronger than all of you. extremely strong. i can kill all the titans out there. even if i am alone.”

boys will be boys
“fourteen, and you’re taller than i will ever be. my legs are short and twisted, and i walk with difficulty. i require a special saddle to keep from falling off my horse. a saddle of my own design, you may be interested to know. it was either that or ride a pony. my arms are strong enough, but again, too short. i will never make a swordsman. had i been born a peasant, they might have left me out to die, or sold me to some slaver’s grotesquerie. alas, i was born a lannister of casterly rock, and the grotesqueries are all the poorer. things are expected of me. my father was the hand of the king for twenty years. my brother later killed that very same king, as it turns out, but life is full of these little ironies. my sister married the new king and my repulsive nephew will be king after him. i must do my part for the honor of my house, wouldn’t you agree? yet how? well, my legs may be too small for my body, but my head is too large, although i prefer to think it is just large enough for my mind. i have a realistic grasp of my own strengths and weaknesses. my mind is my weapon. my brother has his sword, king robert has his warhammer, and i have my mind... and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge. that’s why i read so much, jon snow.””
“it was just the sort of notion that would appeal to renly baratheon; a splendid new order of knighthood, with gorgeous new raiment to proclaim it. even as a boy, renly had loved bright colors and rich fabrics, and he had loved his games as well. "look at me!" he would shout as he ran laughing through the halls of storm's end. "look at me, i'm a dragon," or "look at me, i'm a wizard," or "look at me, look at me, i'm the rain god." the bold little boy with wild black hair and laughing eyes was a man grown now, one-and-twenty, and still he played his games. "look at me, i'm a king".”
“i've been called lots of things, but that may be my first "lord qhorin".”
“i had proven, as a very young man, that power was my weakness and temptation. i was safer at hogwarts. i think i was a good teacher.”
“i have not been helping sirius get into the castle and i certainly don’t want harry dead. but i won’t deny that i am a werewolf.”
“i came from the end of bag, but no bag went over me. i am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles. i am ring-winner and luckwearer; and i am barrel-rider.”
“i'm not a psychopath. i'm a high-functioning sociopath. do your research.”
“i'm fine. i'm just not happy.”
“honestly, i think the world is gonna end bloody. but it doesn't mean we shouldn't fight. we do have choices. i choose to go swingin.”
“i don't want to kill anyone. i don't like bullies; i don't care where they're from.”
“um, i am not "mr. lebowski". you're mr. lebowski. i'm the dude. so that's what you call me. you know, that or, uh, his dudeness, or uh, duder, or el duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.”
“i know who i am and where i'm from!”
“i'm cleaning up gotham. more than you ever did. you can't stop crime! that's what you never understood! i'm controlling it! you wanna rule them by fear, but what do you do with the ones who aren't afraid? i'm doing what you won't, i'm taking them out!”
“to defeat evil, i must become a greater evil.”
“it's not a sense of justice. figuring out difficult cases is my hobby. if you measured good and evil deeds by current laws, i would be responsible for many crimes. the same way you all like to solve mysteries and riddles, or clear video games more quickly. for me too, it's simply prolonging something i enjoy doing. that's why i only take on cases that pique my interest. it's not justice at all. and if it means being able to clear a case, i don't play fair, i'm a dishonest, cheating human being who hates losing.”
“i want to achieve the dream my dad couldn't. and there's someone i have to beat before i can make that happen.”
“i don't care about what's the right argument or whatever right now. what i want is to defeat you. i'm not mature enough like an adult to hold down my instincts and play basketball with logic.”
“i am a supporting actor, a shadow. but a shadow will become darker if the light is stronger and it will make the white of the light stand out.”
“the only one who can beat me... is me.”
“if you pick a fight with a god of death, i can't guarantee your soul's safety.”
“this is just my opinion... but i've always found pain the most effective punishment.”
“i understand now. even if i must take the devil's fruit, i must gain power. i am an avenger.”
“you just wait. some day, i'll carve out that infection of yours, and lay it out in the open.”
“just an average guy who serves as an average hero.”
“i begged dr. kuseno to transform me into a cyborg and was reborn as a cyborg who fights for justice. i made a promise to dr. kuseno to find that cyborg one day and destroy him.”
